Based on the first three days of workouts, the two most likely candidates to be cut are Seattle SuperSonics forwards Nick Collison and Kevin Durant.

Mike Krzyzewski seems to be inclined to feature more versatile perimeter players, including sharpshooters Michael Redd and Mike Miller.

In Durant, the No. 2 overall pick in this year's draft, Krzyzewski said: "He's a special player but he's young. That's just the way it is.

"He's solid and he keeps getting better every day, but it's going to come down to what we need right now."
