Brown to work out for Raptors

Toronto forward Denham Brown will be among a group of players the Toronto Raptors take a closer look at next week. The University of Connecticut product who will be in the June 28 NBA draft will practise at the Air Canada Centre next Thursday, along with Kentucky's Rajon Rondo - considered one of the best point guards in the draft - and Washington guard Bobby Jones. The six-foot-six, 220-pound Brown averaged 10.4 points, four rebounds and 1.5 assists in 26.3 minutes for the Huskies, who made it to the Elite Eight at this year's NCAA tournament. Edmonton's Jermaine Bucknor, a six-foot-seven forward out of Richmond, will work out for the Raptors on Friday. The Raptors have the first overall pick in the draft at Madison Square Garden in New York, plus the 35th and 56th selections.
