Projected second-round pick Zeke Nnaji has met virtually with several teams around the NBA, including the Philadelphia 76ers and Denver Nuggets, according to Darren Wolfson of KSTP-TV in Minneapolis.
The former Arizona Wildcats forward has been preparing for the NBA Draft at Impact Basketball in Las Vegas. Nnaji is working with Joe Abunassar, who has helped train several players in the past, including John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Kyle Lowry and Kyle O’Quinn among others.
In addition to the 76ers and Nuggets, Nnaji has also met with the Chicago Bulls, New Orleans Pelicans, Utah Jazz, Washington Wizards and Charlotte Hornets.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, teams have been prohibited from interviewing and working out prospects in person but are permitted to meet virtually. To help teams prepare for the Draft, the NBA is reportedly considering hosting a Combine-like event for prospects in Orlando in late August.
Nnaji averaged 16.1 points and 8.6 rebounds in 32 games played with the Wildcats last season and is projected to be a late first-round to an early second-round pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. He is No. 41 on the latest 2020 Rookie Wire NBA Draft Big Board.
