Today Rudy Gobert, the 19 year-old 7'2" French center, participated in a pre-draft workout with the Hawks and tweeted out a photo of his workout shirt.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-partner="tweetdeck"><p>Just finished the hawks workout <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23atlanta&src=hash">#atlanta</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23hawks&src=hash">#hawks</a> <a href="http://t.co/56E0agvIHw">http://t.co/56E0agvIHw</a></p>— rudy gobert (@rudygobert15) <a href="https://twitter.com/rudygobert15/statuses/347075488650506241">June 18, 2013</a></blockquote>

With the Hawks not releasing the names of workout participants this year, we are reliant on players and agents, as well as well placed sources, to discover who is working out and when. Earlier in the week, Nubyjas Wilborn reported that Mason Plumlee (Duke; Power Forward), Jeff Withey (Kansas; Center), and a few other big men had worked out with the Hawks.

Nubyjas told me that he spoke briefly with Plumlee who said that he would be back for a workout with the Hawks again once the NBA Finals were over so Mike Budenholzer can be in attendance.
