watching these big men run around shooting pull up jumpers and fadaways is disgusting..

Where are the back to the basket drills...the hook shot drills....just idiotic IMO..

The 6
*subs*

Colangelo is at the combine even though he's probably getting let go, and several prospects have said they've talked to Toronto. Unless we get a top 3 pick it goes to OKC anyway.

Wiggins will break the vertical record next year if he does it.

:ehh: I'm liking Steven Adams. He probably has the best NBA ready body already imo.

:beli: If the Lakers don't trade the 2nd round pick, Mike Muscala seems like the perfect pick for Pringles as a stretch 4, I don't think he missed a shot during the combine, he was automatic as fukk. :ohhh: Mitch is trying to get into this draft with more picks, which is every year, but it ain't going to happen though. *Anticipates the Lakers draft fukkery rumors which happens every year, but end up never, ever happening.

-In a series of tweets, Jerry Zgoda of the Star Tribune lists a number of the prospects the Timberwolves have talked to or will talk to in Chicago. Among those we hadn't already heard about: Alex Len, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Tim Hardaway Jr., Ricky Ledo, Archie Goodwin, Reggie Bullock, and Vander Blue.

-The Trail Blazers will meet with Caldwell-Pope today, according to Jason Quick of the Oregonian (via Twitter). Chris Haynes of CSNNW.com adds (via Twitter) that the Blazers met with Ledo yesterday.

-Ryan Kelly has met with the Mavericks, Celtics, and Clippers, tweets Chris Mannix of SI.com.

-Dennis Schroeder will work out for the Bucks, Jazz, and Rockets, according to Gery Woelfel of the Racine Journal Times (via Twitter).

-Sam Amico of FOX Sports Ohio tweets that there's some speculation at the combine that this could finally be the year the No. 1 pick is traded.

-Some NBA executives believe that it's possible Shabazz Muhammad falls out of the top 10 and perhaps even the lottery on draft night, writes Scott Howard-Cooper of NBA.com.

-In an Insider-only piece, ESPN.com's Chad Ford passes along the official measurements on the players in Chicago, and provides a few thoughts on the results.

-Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury News (Twitter link) hears from an NBA source that the Warriors believe they can acquire either a first- or second-round pick in this year's draft, if they so choose. Kawakami adds in a second tweet that a pick would mostly just cost money, but I'm skeptical that the Warriors could pick up a first-rounder without giving up anything of value, or that they'd even want to add a rookie-scale salary, given their proximity to the tax.

-Alex Len met with the Bobcats last night and will meet with the Cavaliers today, according to tweets from Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer and Jason Lloyd of the Akron Beacon-Journal. David Mayo of MLive.com tweets that Len has nothing set up with the Pistons and "wasn't too enthused" when asked about them -- perhaps that would change if Detroit jumped into the top three in next week's lottery.

-The Pistons will meet with Rudy Gobert today, tweets Keith Langlois of Pistons.com.

-Steven Adams interviewed with the Magic last night, according to Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel (Twitter link). Chad Ford heard that Adams was the big winner on the first day of the combine, with "GM after GM" impressed by his showing.

-Kelly Olynyk has met with the Bucks, tweets Gery Woelfel of the Racine Journal Times.

-Myck Kabongo met with the Knicks and Trail Blazers earlier in the week, says Doug Smith of the Toronto Star. Mason Plumlee also expects to meet with the Blazers, tweets Jason Quick of the Oregonian.
