I see high bust potential with both from where they are expected to be drafted.

How much effect does a great workout how on teams decisions? Lessort killed it today and Swanigan didn't.

I think it generally doesn't have much effect, but i think Lyles workout with the team went a long way in causing the Jazz to take him. the liked his 3 point shooting against no defense, his feel for the game/passing during scrimmages and then there was the infamous balance test.
I think it depends in part on how much the Jazz already know about a player. Rudy Gobert apparently turned heads in a big way during his workout. Olivier Hanlan looked good in his workout. The Jazz had been scouting Lyles for a few years, so the workout was just part of the equation with him.
Lessort plays big. He goes hard on the boards, chases blocks, runs the floor. He's a physical player like Bell.

Yep, Walt Perrin said he thought Trey Lyles was going to be a better NBA player than Karl Anthony Towns before Lyles played at Kentucky. Which actually made me not hate the pick as much as I did initially.
But it's things like this that make me really question Perrin's ability to judge talent.
Frank Mason from Kansas probably. 47.1% on 4.8 3 point attempts per game. Some big guys have higher percentages but it's because they average less than 0.5 attempts per game

Not sure anyone picked in the 20s can be considered a bust... I mean most of those guys don't make it.

I think if a team is trying to decide between 2 or more players in the same tier, then workouts can factor in to who they prefer. Otherwise, I doubt they put a lot of weight on individual workouts.
