The Milwaukee Bucks are expected to resume pre-draft workouts today when they’ll take an up-close-and-personal look at one of the most intriguing prospects in the draft.

I’ve been told Mitch McGary, a 6-foot-10, 266-pound center from the University of Michigan, is scheduled to work out for the Bucks at their training facility in St. Francis.

It will mark the first time McGary will work out for an NBA team as he has been recovering from a back injury. McGary is unquestionably one of the best big men in the draft, possessing a solid all-around game. He is generally considered to be a late first-round selection.

McGary caught the attention of pro scouts with a stellar 2013 NCAA Tournament. His performance prompted some NBA officials to project McGary as a potential lottery pick — a top 14 selection.

But McGary experienced back issues last season and wound up playing only eight games for the Wolverines. He subsequently underwent season-ending back surgery in January.

McGary also flunked an NCAA drug test for marijuana and faced a possible one-year suspension. He then opted to enter the NBA draft.
