<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">June 6, 2006 -- Two offensively gifted forwards led the Nets' latest workout yesterday before team brass headed for Orlando and the NBA's annual pre-draft camp.
While the workouts of draft hopefuls continue next week, the Nets eventually will hold an intriguing audition for a potential point guard: Jay Williams, the former Duke All-American and Bulls' 2002 first-round pick who was injured in a devastating motorcycle accident after his rookie season.
Net GM Ed Stefanski has been in contact with Williams' camp to schedule a workout.
The Nets are fairly certain the guys they'll pick 22nd and 23rd in the first round and 54th in the second will be among the 65-plus players in Orlando for the camp that starts today.
"You don't know who's coming," Stefanski said. "One of our [first-round] players or both of our players could be playing in Orlando. You have a list, but who's actually there is a different story."
Traditionally, lottery picks or perceived lottery picks pass on the pre-draft workouts - 20 or so players simply undergo physicals. But whomever the Net contingent - including team president Rod Thorn, coach Lawrence Frank and Stefanski - see and like will be invited back for workouts.
Auditioning yesterday were 6-foot-8, 225-pound Steven Smith of LaSalle and 6-10, 232-pound Ukrainian Oleksiy Pecherov. </div>
