Local standouts Maten, Matthews get Pistons workouts

Auburn Hills — The next few days hold the key to Yante Maten’s future.

Maten, who went to Bloomfield Hills High School and the University of Georgia, will find out Thursday whether a team took a chance on him in the NBA draft. Otherwise, he’ll have to figure out what the next move will be.

After Tuesday’s workout with the Pistons, who have the 42nd overall pick, Maten was optimistic after his 12th workout of the pre-draft process, but realistic about the future holds.

“I don’t really know what’s going to happen but I’m just praying,” said Maten, a Pontiac native.
