In recent weeks, Charlotte has been in contact with a number of teams and they’ve made it clear that the No. 2 pick is available.

Up until this point, Drummond has been working out in Manhattan with trainer Idan Ravin. He’ll begin scheduling workouts with teams over the next few days.

I can’t dictate the future and know what I’m going to do. All I know is that I’m going to go out there and give it my all.” HoopsWorld

Tomas Satoransky, the clear-cut star of Day One, bowed out of the second day’s activities. Satoransky was around; I saw him at lunch in street clothes.
