The Washington Wizards hold three selections in the upcoming NBA draft – the No. 3 pick overall and two picks in the second round.

Ernie Grunfeld and Randy Wittman have indicated they would like to explore dealing at least one pick, maybe both in the second round, in a package for a veteran.

The Wizards plan to bring in mostly second-round prospects for individual workouts starting Monday.

The Minnesota Timberwolves want to add a shooting guard with size to play alongside Ricky Rubio.

“Just because we’re so small there, outside of [Alexey] Shved,” Flip Saunders said. “The other guys — [J.J.] Barea and Luke [Ridnour] — are 6-foot players who have to guard Kobe Bryant and those guys. So what you want is a ‘2’ guard [shooting guard] who has size and can shoot the ball.”

To that end, the Timberwolves worked out Tim Hardaway Jr., Kentavious Caldwell-Pope,  Allen Crabbe and Ricky Ledo on Thursday.

Saunders will likely bring C.J. McCollum, Shabazz Muhammad, Jamaal Franklin and others to Minnesota for workouts as the draft approaches.

Ben McLemore think he'd fit in nicely with the Orlando Magic.

"The Orlando Magic, I think that's a great program," McLemore said. "I think I could fit perfectly in that system and that organization and help that team in different kinds of ways."

McLemore already feels a kinship with Jacque Vaughn, who attended Kansas and played four seasons for the Jayhawks during the mid-1990s.

McLemore met with Vaughn during the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago.

"It was great just walking in and just seeing that face and seeing that connection as soon as we saw each other," McLemore recalled. "Big smiles came on our faces. He was great."

Aaron Gordon expects to primarily play at small forward for Arizona this season, though he appears to be best suited at power forward on the college level.

Gordon's position in the NBA remains unclear, though he could certainly play minutes at both positions due to how power forwards are evolving.

“As of right now I plan on playing on the wing full time,” Gordon told Jason Scheer of Wildcat Authority. “There will obviously be some times where I’ve got to go down in the post and go to work, but the plan is for me to play on the perimeter, which makes sense when you have players like Brandon (Ashley) and Kaleb (Tarczewski) in the low post. A lot of my training has been done with that in mind. I’ve always been able to dribble pretty well, so I’ve continued to work on that along with becoming a more consistent shooter.”

Nerlens Noel remains on top of the draft board of the Cleveland Cavaliers, but sources say Otto Porter Jr. and Alex Len are also being considered.

The Cavaliers spent considerable time scouting Noel throughout his rookie season at Kentucky.

Sources say the Cavaliers have already begun exploring potential trade options for the No. 1 overall pick.

Developing into the player scouts envisioned when he was a touted recruit of Oklahoma State, Karron Johnson is intriguing several teams as a prospect they could take a chance on in this year’s NBA draft, a source told RealGM.

A 6-foot-8 forward who spent the past two seasons at Shaw, Johnson has scheduled workouts with seven teams that have let him know they will consider him as a potential second round pick.

Johnson, 23, has overcome issues surrounding his anger management. He averaged 17.4 points and eight rebounds and shot 61.4 percent from the field this season.

Johnson had been a heralded prospect before failing to stay at Oklahoma State, and he subsequently bounced from junior colleges to a stable situation at Shaw.

Pierre Jackson out of Baylor was considered to be the most impressive prospect at the New Jersey combine last week, according to the scouts that attended.

Most of the 44 invitees will not be drafted next month.

"The bar wasn't exactly high, but yes," one GM said.

Mark Cuban admitted on Saturday that the Dallas Mavericks could end up trading or stashing their 13th overall pick in this year's NBA draft.

To prevent the player's $1.66 million against the salary cap, the Mavericks might draft a player "to stash overseas somewhere," Cuban said.

"If you look at this like a two-year plan, then we think we're on track to have a great team by the end of next year," Cuban said.

James Southerland has scheduled eight visits over the next few weeks.

Southerland will work out for the Minnesota Timberwolves, Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Clippers, Detroit Pistons, Indiana Pacers, Washington Wizards and Utah Jazz.

"He's visiting a bunch of teams," Southerland's agent, Mark Bartelstein said. "He's going to be very, very busy."

Southerland worked out for the Milwaukee Bucks earlier this week.

Peyton Siva auditioned for the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday.

“He’s real competitive, [has] great speed,” Nets director of player personnel Gregg Polinsky said. “What do you say? [He comes from a] winning culture, he’s been coached, can take all you can give him ... he’s going to get some looks.”

Siva led Louisville to a national title and believes that experience will help him handle the pressure of playing at the next level.

“It helped me a lot,” Siva said, “because I was able to play against a lot of different guards, and especially against some of the top-tier point guards.

“Obviously winning helped a lot.”
