Draft Combine Media Call Transcript with Fran Fraschilla and Chad FordQuote:
Chad Ford @chadfordinsider 3h
More top prospects pulling out of drills portion of NBA draft combine: CJ McCollum, Cody Zeller, Michael Carter-Williams
Chad Ford @chadfordinsider 31m
No surprise, but Ben McLemore also pulling out of drills portion of NBA Draft Combine. Will participate in athletic testing.
Chad Ford @chadfordinsider 29m
McLemore has hired Rival Sports Group to manage him. Has been working out in LA with Pooh Richardson.

Credit Shabazz Muhammad for participating in all parts of the NBA Draft combine. He isn't shying away from the competition.
Something I really like about Bazz. He's got the knack of a competitor. If we slip to #6 like I think we will, I'm starting to lean very heavily towards grabbing him.Quote:

Conversely, if he has a great workout and shoots up the draft boards, he could push someone else like Burke or Porter down to us even if we do wind up #6.
Yeah Bazz's competitiveness is great
I'm a little disappointed McCollum is sitting out the drills. I really wanted to see where he is in his rehab. He's supposedly 100% and it could have really help his stock.
I'm loving the fact that Muhammad is coming in with a chip on his shoulder.That's what I like to see from a prospect of his caliber.
Mcollum is my guy, he will be a top 6 pick. Last summer he was dominating every summer camp and right now he is the best player in this draft along with Burke ( he doesnt have the potential of mclemore or bennett but he is a better player right now). IMO Mcollum is a lock for ROY and he is a is a better version of Damian Lillard.
Victor Oladipo!
Man, I'm out in Yosemite national park and there's no tv so I'm gonna miss the combine, lottery and draft. Good thing I got yall to keep me posted. I love this time of year in the NBA.
cant wait to see burke, otto, and bazz participate in the athletic portion of the draft, plus props to bazz on being the insane competitor he is, i still see him, as a paul pierce and thinkhe will be a 20 point 5 rebound guy in the league
will alex len participate in the athletic drills of the combine?
also nbadraft.net has cody zeller, shabazz, cj mcollum and anthony bennett rated above trey burke, blows my mind.
If we can trade Gordon and come away with Muhammad and Burke I'll be thrilled. I think he can play the two where his length, size and strength will give him an advantage for day one. I think he has enough lateral quickness to guard the position. With a PG like Trey controlling the team it'll help Shabazz focus on what he loves to do score.
We can draft our SF of the future next year. I would even gamble on DeAndre Jordan. The Clips more than will look to move him for salary purposes. With Gordon gone we'll have the cap space.
Burke/Vasquez
Muhammad/Rivers
2014 pick/Miller
Davis/Anderson
Jordan/Lopez or Lopez/Jordan
Good young core and it allows us flexibility to bring in a guy here or there if somebody doesn't work out. Most importantly the we have cap space to sign our on young players to extensions when it's time.
@DaThrone: and how do we get the 2nd pick to draft muhammad?
