Kofi Cockburn among draft prospects to work out with Hawks
Former Illinois center Kofi Cockburn was among the draft-eligible prospects to work out with the Atlanta Hawks on Monday, the team announced.
Cockburn, who was a consensus All-American, averaged 20.9 points, 10.6 rebounds and one blocked shot in 28 games. He was the only Division I player to average at least 20 points and 10 rebounds and was the only player to rank in the top 20 in each category.
The 7-footer is not currently projected to be selected by most mock drafts but was among the standouts at the draft combine, averaging 15 points and 12 rebounds in two scrimmage games. He had his best game on Friday with 19 points and 11 rebounds.
In addition to Cockburn, the Hawks also worked out Northern Iowa guard AJ Green, St. Joseph’s guard Jordan Hall, UConn guard Tyrese Martin, Creighton commit Baylor Scheierman and Arkansas forward Jaylin Williams on Monday.
Atlanta enters the pre-draft process with the 16th and 44th picks, respectively. They have recently hosted several prospects for workouts ahead of the draft combine, including LSU forward Tari Eason and Villanova guard Collin Gillespie among others.
The NBA draft will take place on June 23.
