The Toronto Raptors will host six players at Bio-Steel Centre today for their first round of pre-draft workouts.

The group is headlined by Oregon point guard Dylan Ennis, a Brampton, ON native and older brother of the NBA’s Tyler Ennis. The elder Ennis was a five-year senior who found a starring role on the Ducks after transferring from Villanova and was instrumental in their recent Final Four run.

Joining Ennis are Arizona guard Rawle Atkins, Syracuse forward Tyler Lydon, Georgia State forward Jeremy Hollowell, Texas A&AM—Corpus Christi forward Rashawn Thomas, and Northeastern guard T.J. Williams.

Of that group, only Lydon is projected as a consensus first-rounder, while the others project to be potential second-rounders or undrafted free agents.

The Raptors hold the 23rd overall pick in the draft and don’t currently have a second-rounder.
