I understand the importance of workouts, but it seems players stock rise a lot more during good workouts than good seasons. Thoughts?

How Much Should GM's weigh Work Outs to a Players Full College Career?

stock shouldn't "rise". it should just confirm what GM's and scouts already know.
sometimes due to a school's system on offense or defense you might be surprised a player can say shoot the 3 or offensive rebound as well as they do in workouts but that's kind of it.@sweatpantsjer

If they show part of their game that wasn't used in games it can help a little, and to see how hard they work, how they react to coaching, intensity etc.
I think seeing them play and interviews are way more important though, a lot of guys biggest problems are the mental side

Are we talking about just college players generally or all players? Cause there is a long, long history of workouts (or even one good workout) propelling players in the draft, in particular, international ones. I mean, Yi Jianlian worked out against a chair and got into the lottery cause he schooled it in the post....

In general I'm a huge fan of taking guys who "slip" during workouts leading up to the draft. It's recency bias at work and their body of work is usually more indicative of long term success.
