POST WORKOUT UPDATES:
Thanks to Jay King's Twitter account for the updates from today's pre-draft workout:
ON JULIUS RANDLE
A huge group or NBA prospects are in Boston today to work out for the Celtics.
Group 1
Julius Randle – Kentucky
Randle will be working out privately for the team and no limitations are expected, following the reports of him needing foot surgery after the draft.
Group 2
Jordan Clarkson – Missouri
Gary Harris – Michigan State
Zach LaVine – UCLA
Elfrid Payton – Louisiana-Lafayette
Marcus Smart – Oklahoma State
Nik Stauskas – Michigan
All of these athletes are projected to go in the first round with several being projected to move into the lottery.
Stay tuned for updates on today's workouts, who looks good, and more importantly who looks good in green.
ON JULIUS RANDLE
Julius Randle said surgery has never been considered, he's spoken with doctors who wouldn't do anything. Said he's pain free.

Randle said he wasn't calling Woj a liar. "He's great at what he does." Just doesn't think info leaking about him is right.

Randle: "I probably wouldn't be working out if I needed surgery.... It won't be an issue."
— Jay King (@ByJayKing) June 13, 2014
Randle said no teams have told him they would want him to have surgery. Even if he does, minor and he'd expect to be ready by training camp.

Randle talked to Rondo today. Two Kentucky products. "Rondo's a great guy."

Stevens said Randle "looked good." "I think he's gonna be a really good player." He moved well. Thinks he'll have nba 3 range in time.

ON MARCUS SMART
Stevens called Marcus Smart "a leader." "Clearly he has a way about him that people follow."

ON GARY HARRIS
How long has Stevens known Gary Harris? He just discussed his talents as a high school football player.
