Kenny Wooten is one of three Oregon players to enter and remain in this year's NBA Draft. He'll learn his fate on Thursday, when the 2019 NBA Draft is held, like the rest.

Based upon the assortment of mock drafts available, Wooten isn't expected to be selected. That hasn't stopped him from taking part in a boatload of workouts. On Monday, Wooten concluded his 10th workout with the Sacramento Kings. He has two more remaining prior to Thursday.

The Kings have three selections, all in the second round where a player like Wooten would be taken if he is selected. The Kings pick 40th, 47th, and 60th. If Wooten is taken by Sacramento, it'll be a homecoming of sorts for Wooten, who grew up about an hour south in Manteca. The team's G-League affiliate, likely where Wooten would begin his professional career, is located in Stockton, which is even closer to his hometown.

“It was a quick drive," Wooten joked with media following his workout. "They picked me up from my house took me over to the hotel. It was pretty easy getting over here.

“It’s definitely special to be here. I know if I potentially go to this team that a lot of my family members will and a lot of the people who’ve supported me will be able to go to the games and that’s important."

Few players in this year's draft match Wooten's leaping ability. The 6-foot-9 forward posted a 42-inch vertical jump at a combine last month. But it's his raw offensive game that has franchise's cautious about the 21-year old. Last season, Wooten averaged 6.3 points per game, 4.8 rebounds per game while swatting 2.2 shots per game. He was named an All-Pac-12 Defensive team member for the second straight season.

Wooten says consistency and preparation have been the biggest keys to successfully navigating the pre-draft process.

“You know you’ve just got to go hard," he said. "This whole thing is about being conditioned and about going hard every possession. I feel like you’ll succeed if you’re able to do that.

“You definitely have to be more prepared for every workout you go to, be prepared for the games and just be prepared for literally the process. It’s a lot more."
