Catching the espn combine coverage now. In the background there sure are a ton of bricks being put up. So many of these guys can't shoot.  :(

McDermott's shooting ability will make him a lottery pick. Elite shooting is that rare.

Vonleh's got some freakish measurements.  If you multiply his hand length by his hand width then his total hand size is 12%+ larger than anyone else measured here. Also, his wingspan less his height is tied for 2nd among this group.  Long arms and huge hands. Liking him more if we're not getting a top 3 pick.

I hope they do the jumping measurements today.  What I've read on Vonleh is that he's not much of a leaper.  If his vert ends up being in the mid-thirties, then he's looking better and better.

Andreian Payne's reach and wingspan is the biggest surprise to me so far. He has the same wingspan as Vonleh, but in a taller body. He has a 9 foot 1 inch reach.

Why was a guy that long jacking 3 pointers when uconn was beating his team?

Hey Randle just got an interview. How about some footage of him in a shooting drill? Come on BSPN.

Gary Harris' stock just dropped a lot, he is only 6'2.5" without shoes.  May be available at 17??

His stock will go up.

I always that he looked small when i saw him play. I would not pick him in the projected 10-14 range. But i think some team will. His two way game is a rarity right out of college.

Maybe Randle doesn't have alligator arms after all. Same height as Gordon, but longer reach. That is very surprising. Randle stock will go up, Gordon down.

Hmm Stauskas measured pretty well. On the off chance he's there at 17 I'd really like him provided there isn't an obvious slipper.

Dream on, he'll be long gone.

Yeah i think so too. The eye test tells me he is a 20-28 pick. But with that reach, someone looking for a backup 4 with great size will probably pick him in the 13-19 range.

Patric Young = 6-10 + almost 7-2 wingspan but only an 8-7 standing reach??

That is like Jeff Green. Good size, great wingspan but lousy standing reach.

long head and neck??

Lottery pick was never in question. He now seems in the top 8 or so.

Yes, but he is now a very undersized two guard, like Avery Bradley.  I think he will slip further down than you say. Would not be surprised to see him available at 17.

Maybe us at 17??
