It’s that time of the year when college/international prospects are traveling across the country in a short span to get some face time and show off their skill sets in front of NBA front offices. Gonzaga’s lead guard for the past two seasons, Ryan Nembhard, looks to be the only Zag drafted later this month, and even that isn’t a guarantee. Nembhard is a projected mid-to-late second-round pick.
Here are some projections for the 6-0 Canadian floor general:
Yahoo Sports – 47th pick in the second round to the Milwaukee Bucks
Bleacher Report – 49th pick in the second round to the Cleveland Cavaliers
NBADraft.net – 56th pick in the second round to the Memphis Grizzlies
Here are all the announced pre-NBA Draft workouts for the Zags:

Atlanta Hawks

“It would be more than a dream come true. Going to Gonzaga was a dream for me and if I was able to play here, it’d be a crazy life I was able to live.”

Something to keep in mind is that not every workout is publicly released, as some organizations want to keep that information private. Nembhard and Battle have worked out with many other teams that may never be publicized before the actual draft. After his time with the Sacramento organization, Battle stated that he had already done six workouts with 12 to 14 more on the horizon. No statement yet on which NBA franchises have invited Nolan Hickman to work out for before the 2025 NBA Draft at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
The event runs from Wednesday, June 25th, through Thursday, June 26th. The backcourt duo of Hickman and Battle, along with Gregg, is likely to find their way onto a G-League roster.
