Report: Gabe Kalscheur to work out for the Thunder in pre-draft visit

Gabe Kalscheur spent five seasons in college at Minnesota and Iowa State.

The 2023 NBA draft is roughly three weeks away, which means pre-draft visits and workouts have ramped up.

The Oklahoma City Thunder own the picks at No. 12, No. 37 and No. 50, which creates a wide range of prospects they could select at those spots.

Iowa State guard Gabe Kalscheur could be an option, as he reportedly will meet with the Thunder in a pre-draft workout on Friday, June 2, per Darren Wolfson.

The 23-year-old spent five seasons in college from 2018 to 2023. His first three seasons were spent at Minnesota; his final two seasons were at Iowa State.

In 33 games last season, Kalscheur averaged 12.9 points on 40% shooting, 2.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists. He shot 35.4% from 3 on 6.2 attempts.

Kalscheur could be an option at No. 50 in the second round, but he will likely go undrafted. The Thunder could sign him in undrafted free agency.

The 2023 NBA draft is scheduled for Thursday, June 22. A full list of prospects who’ve met with the Thunder can be read here.

Wisconsin basketball reaches out to Minnesota transfer Gabe Kalscheur

The Badgers reach out to the Minnesota transfer

With Wisconsin basketball in need of pieces heading into the 2021-2022 season and the transfer portal as full as it has ever been, the Badgers are making the case to players who may fit the mold.

One of those names is Gabe Kalscheur, a Minnesota native who has spent his first three seasons with the Golden Gophers. With Richard Pitino moving on to New Mexico after being fired by the Gophers last month, Kalscheur is testing the transfer portal waters. Per The Pioneer Press, Minnesota still remains an option for the shooting guard.

2020-2021 was a struggle for a player known as a shooter, as Kalscheur shot just 24.5% from three and 31.6% from the field overall. Both numbers were far and away career lows from the Minnesota native. Despite his struggles this past year, there is good reason to believe that he can help nearly any contender in America. As a true freshman, he shot 41% from distance.

The junior plays both sides of the ball well, as Kalscheur has slowed down talented guards in the Big Ten. Iowa State and Georgia are among other schools interested in Kalscheur’s services according to Matthew Bain of the Des Moines Register:
