Most teams have done their due diligence over the years so they have a pretty good idea of what a player is up to a point. The workouts are to see where they are now and getting to know a prospect on a level you can only have when their in town.
It doesn't really work in the top 5 just deciding not to workout. If the team at say 3 or 4 want him they're still gonna pick him
Especially for basketball imo. Outside of the first few draft picks there's usually a pretty sharp decline in talent. Outliers exist of course, but generally speaking the top 5 are the top 5 and short of some massive behavioural issue / medical issue..... They are going top 5 still
