Pre-Draft Workouts
Pre-Draft workouts mark the first time that declared prospects hit the court since the NCAA Tournament culmination of their college careers. Since they are no longer officially on their university’s team, they are no longer constrained to sponsored apparel and have the freedom to wear whatever sneakers and workout clothes that they want. In the two videos below where Victor Oladipo and Tim Hardaway Jr. prepare for the draft, Indiana’s hopeful stays in red and white, while Jr. switches it up.
Tim Hardaway Jr.: “It’s always performance. How light the shoe is, how you can move laterally, how you can sprint and jump. All that good stuff. (adidas) just feel good on my feet. And also the style and colorway of the shoes. adidas has some funky colors, and I like that.”
