What Oregon commit Devon Pryor said about the predraft process
What Oregon commit Devon Pryor said about the predraft process
Devon Pryor attended his first predraft workout on Tuesday, and the former Texas forward wants to make the most of the process before making a decision about his future.
Pryor averaged 3.2 points and two rebounds on 51.8% shooting from the field in 23 games as a sophomore this past season with the Longhorns. He produced a season-high 10 points, three rebounds and three assists on Dec. 15 in a win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
The 20-year-old elected to enter the transfer portal following the Longhorns' season while also testing the predraft process. He worked out with the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday and commented on his looming draft decision afterward.
"I'm not in no rush," Pryor said. "But for me, (I want) as much feedback as I can get because I know there is still plenty of way for me to grow. I'm open to everybody's opinions and what they say I can do better; keep an open ear and a closed mouth."
Pryor isn't projected to be selected by most mock drafts and wasn't among the prospects invited to the draft combine or G League Elite Camp, beginning on Saturday. He will instead rely on the feedback gathered in team workouts to stay in the draft or return to school next season.
The 6-foot-7 standout committed to the University of Oregon and will suit up for coach Dana Altman next season should he withdraw from the draft by May 28. After playing sporadically in two years at Texas, Pryor projects to have the opportunity to play a key role for the Ducks.
Pryor will have the chance to work out for additional teams against other prospects and gain on-court knowledge that will help him this year and beyond. He is looking to refine his skills.
"I feel like I'm pretty good at moving the ball," Pryor said. "Getting to my spots if I have to, and also just defensively, running the floor and rebounding. I feel like I can kind of do everything; it is just getting it sharper."
