-Ante Tomic conducted a workout in New York City on Saturday in front of 10 interested teams alongside Peja Samardziski, Damjan Rudez and Vladimir Golubovic. Two General Managers—New York’s Donnie Walsh and Boston’s Danny Ainge, were present, as were team representatives such as Scott Layden (Utah Jazz), Tim Connelley (Washington Wizards), Kenny Williamson (Charlotte Bobcats) and George Felton (San Antonio Spurs). Tomic reportedly had just a “so-so” workout, while it was Damjan Rudez actually that may have been the most impressive. Tomic likely gets drafted somewhere in the top 10-15 spots of the second round, and is rumored to be a strong candidate for Euroleague outfit Maccabi Tel Aviv. He currently has a contract with KK Zagreb that lasts until 2011, and has no NBA escape clause to work with.

Buford, however, has come here not to watch the crowd. Partizan reserve guard Uros Tripkovic seems to be the best of the prospects playing, but he isn't expected to stay in the draft until 2007. The team's starting center, Predrag Samardziski, picks up three fouls the first three times he plays defense. His 7-2 backup tonight, Kosta Perovic, is more talented and will go on to be a future second-round pick of Golden State.
