| | Comments (2) |

USC forward Taj Gibson, eagerly awaiting Thursday NBA draft, has been working out with trainer Joe Abunassar to improve his agility.
``We've spent a lot of time with Taj's hip and overall lower body and core strength,'' Abunassar said. ``Getting him to play lower and improving his endurance and flexibility has allowed to improve in many areas on the court.

Gibson hopes he can make it into the first round of the draft.
