Hibbert, who is the most experienced center in a draft deep at that position, declined an invitation to work out for the Wizards because his agent felt that he is a lock to go higher than 18th. Grunfeld said that would not prevent the Wizards from taking him.
Ivan Carter delivers the reasoning behind Roy's decision not to work out with the Wizards.
I can understand that reasoning, but it leads to the inevitable question of "If he thinks he's going before #18, then why did he schedule two (2) workouts with Utah who doesn't pick until #23?"

Who Knows?
Maybe he thinks Utah will trade up to get him. Maybe he feels that he needs to cover his butt in case he’s wrong about his draft position. This only makes sense because Utah might not have had an opportunity to see him very much in college, while the Wizards have probably seen him in game action several times.
