June 27 Draft Workout Preview

With the shot clock ticking down, the Sixers are setting up for the final play. Yet another workout was scheduled for Wednesday afternoon at the Sixers practice facility located at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM). Tuesday’s workout featured two swingmen (UCLA’s Arron Afflalo and Julian Wright from Kansas) but Wednesday’s session is comprised of four post players. Here’s the participants:

Player	Pos.	Hgt.	Wgt.	Yr./Elig.	College	Hometown
Jason Cain	F	6-10	225	Senior	Virginia	Philadelphia, PA
Glen Davis	F/C	6-9	289	Junior	LSU	Baton Rouge, LA
Carl Landry	F	6-7	245	Senior	Purdue	Milwaukee, WI
Sean Williams	F/C	6-10	235	Junior	Boston College	Houston, TX

Although his teammate and fellow Philly native Sean Singletary withdrew his name from this year’s draft, Virginia senior Jason Cain is still hoping to work his way onto an NBA roster. Cain started the past two seasons for the Cavaliers, averaging 7.1 points and 7.0 rebounds. As a senior in high school, he helped John Bartram High School capture the Philadelphia Public League Championship.

After helping LSU reach the Final Four in 2006, Glen Davis chose to return for his junior season but is now ready to make the jump to the NBA. Davis was one of just 10 NCAA players to average a double-double last season, earning First Team All-SEC honors after taking home the SEC Player of the Year award in 2006. Davis is surprisingly agile for his size, can handle the ball and even knocked down a handful of three-pointers in his career. As an added bonus, his charismatic personality reminds many of another LSU big-man, Shaquille O’Neal. Davis worked out for the Sixers back on June 6th.

Purdue’s Carl Landry was named First-Team All-Big Ten by the coaches in 2006-07. Landry started all 34 games for the Boilermakers last season, averaging team-highs in scoring (18.9 ppg) and rebounding (7.3 rpg) while shooting 59.7% from the floor. In Purdue’s two NCAA Tournament games, Landry tallied 39 points and 23 rebounds. He also averaged an 8.1 free throw attempts per game as a senior.

Boston College’s Sean Williams saw a promising season end prematurely, but despite playing just half the season, Williams still set the school record for most blocked shots in a single season with 75. He averaged an astounding 5.00 blocks per game in 2006-07, including a single-game high of 13 against Duquesne. Williams also increased his scoring from 3.6 points per game his first two seasons to 12.1 ppg as a junior.
