NBA Draft Combine Thread

I wated for someone to make a thread...but ok.

What arevu guys looking forward to the most?

By the way Coach Monty won't be there in Chicago because there will be no pick up games.

I'm looking forward to seeing how some of the international prospects measure out. The predictions with them have been all over the place (per usual), this should help clear up the picture a bit...

Only be a few internationals, a bunch of them declined the invitation. Although im definitely intrigued in seeing what Gobert and Schroeder have to offer.

I'm interested to see how Oladipo, Burke, Muhammad, McCollum, and Zeller measures out. Very anxious to see what Zeller's wingspan is.

most curious to see how Burke and Porter measure athletically in the 3/4 court sprint, vertical and lane agility

You underestimate how athletic and long Porter is.

The length is obvious. It's the athleticism I don't see as on par with a NBA wing player.

Porter is becoming the Harrison Barnes of this draft. He will be fine as an NBA wing.

Hard to tell Barnes was questioned a lil' athletically in retrospect. But then he posted like a 40 inch vert at the combine and the questions went away. Then it was could he create offense for himself. But why does he need to when Steph Curry and Jarrett Jack can do the bulk of that for him?

when is the combine?

Starts tomorrow, I believe.

Probably worth a look. Dates and list of participants. Thursday and Friday.

I think it was one of the ESPNs last year, maybe NBA TV

I think it was on ESPN U before. NBA TV usually runs replays on later days like Saturday and Sunday.

I was going to say athletic ability wasn't really Barnes knock. Like you mentioned it was his ability to create that was hurting him.
