Caleb worked out for the Magic

[S.W.A.I.N]

Love it. Good for Caleb. Hope he got some good feedback, comes back next season, and takes his game to another level

 

[Night Man]

Magic going defense with the #1 pick!

Guess it's not basically a done deal he's returning and has already told HC Pike. As some were speculating.

I said we wouldn't know anything until late Wednesday.

This workout likely has 0 impact on his decision

It’s very very likely that Caleb and Pike know the plan. This is a great opportunity for Caleb but this changes very little. Geo had multiple workouts last year and he was always coming back.

No impact on decision, other than explaining why he didn’t announce sooner one way or the other.

I think there's a misnomer about what getting a workout means. Orlando didn't just bring in Caleb McConnell to see Caleb McConnell, they would have brought in a bunch of guys so that they could run drills or even some 3 on 3 or 5 on 5. They'll individual workout for the guys they're considering at #1 but not for second rounders/UDFA. To a certain extent they just need bodies. Maybe he was close by (he has family in Florida) and that was a consideration, who knows.

That said, I'm happy for him and really hope to see him in scarlet again next season.

You don’t announce anything until you get all the feedback you are looking for. Like I said, Pike very likely knows.

You also don’t announce if there’s potential for more NBA work outs.

Ok so Caleb has a little more than 48 hours left to withdraw from the draft right?
Any rumblings yet?
Or are we not going to hear anything until Wednesday night?

 

[RUDave_01]

All the rumblings point to him coming back. I think he's making the most of his opportunity to get feedback on what to work on. We'll hear the good news in the next day or two and then get to enjoy watching Caleb for one last season.

 

[Scangg]

Caleb tomorrow. Griffiths Wednesday

Caleb tomorrow. Griffiths Wednesday

So you’re saying we will get to open a present on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day?

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

When is the actual deadline? Is it tonight at midnight (when it becomes 6/1) or midnight tomorrow?

Tomorrow at midnight.
There should be a bunch of tweets with #UnfinishedBusiness coming out over the next two days of players withdrawing.
Everyone waits until the last possible moment.
RHJ didn't announce officially until a couple hours prior to withdrawal deadline last year.

I have been checking in all day to see if he has made an announcement. I am hoping he will return. I still think Pike needs to bring in another player if he does come back.

ZERO question about this.

Still have 8 hours.
Maybe he's doing a full blown edited video like RHJ did?
