NBA Draft rumors: 2. Ausar Thompson cancels workout with the Pacers

According to Tony East, the Pacers were hosting Ausar Thompson for a draft workout but he dropped out. Most likely, he dropped out of the workout because he has a draft promise from a different team. Analyzing this, it most likely means that Ausar Thompson is expected to be drafted in the No. 4 – No. 6 range.

While draft promises are made without 100 percent certainty that they will happen, this often shows where a player’s stock is at. Considering the fact that he will not be drafted top three in this draft (Victor Wembanyama, Scoot Henderson, and Brandon Miller), it seems like he will be selected by either Houston, Detroit, or Orlando. With Houston reportedly set on his twin, it seems likely it will be Detroit or Orlando.

Based on the evidence presented, it seems like Ausar Thompson will either be drafted right after or one spot after his brother gets selected in this year’s draft. Things could change and trades by the Trail Blazers and others will certainly flip the draft order around but right now Ausar seems to like his options.
