Five players — Marco Belinelli, Sterling Brown, Jonathan Isaac, Kyle Korver and Anthony Tolliver — were joined by NBA players' union executive director Michele Roberts and two other union executives, Sherrie Deans and Matteo Zuretti.

Yahoo Sports Commentary
Vassell is the best 3-and-D guard in this draft and one of the most consistent shooters in the draft, making 49% from the field and 42% from the 3-point line. He switches on screens extremely well on defense and can easily challenge shots, thanks to his 6-foot-10 wingspan. Vassell would be a nice addition to Dejounte Murray and Lonnie Walker.
