Georgia Tech’s Marcus Georges-Hunt and Georgia’s Kenny Gaines and Charles Mann worked out for the Hawks ahead of next week’s NBA Draft. All three just completed their senior seasons.
Georges-Hunt, a 6-foot-5 small forward, averaged 16.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 32.4 minutes in 36 games for Tech last season.
Both Gaines and Mann worked out for the Hawks on Thursday. Gaines, a 6-3 guard, averaged 12.8 points last season for Georgia. Mann, a 6-5 guard, averaged 10.9 points.
The Hawks also recently worked out former Georgia Tech player Robert Carter, who transferred to Maryland. Carter, a 6-8 forward, averaged 12.3 points and 6.9 rebounds for Maryland last season.
Per team policy, the Hawks do not announce players brought in for pre-draft workouts.
The Hawks have three selections in the draft June 23: the 21st pick in the first round and the 44th and 54th overall picks in the second round.
