The Denver Nuggets have announced they will hold a private workout for first-round lottery prospect Willie Cauley-Stein on Monday morning.
This comes at a somewhat fortuitous time considering BSN’s next Draft or Pass piece, scheduled to drop Monday afternoon, features none other than Cauley-Stein.
The Nuggets’ first private workout of the month, held on Saturday, was centered around Stanley Johnson. Other notable prospects in the group workout included Devin Booker, Sam Dekker and Jerian Grant.
