Anyone else like my Cliff Alexander comparison? Reggie Evans but more athletic, longer, and better scorer. Goes without saying: also has potential to be better than that.

NBA Draft ?@NBADraft  8m8 minutes ago
.@KUHoops' @K_ctmd22 tells us he hopes to be an elite 2-way guard, as a combo of Harden, Kawhi & Butler #NBACombine

Umm, good for him, but honestly, who cares about these kinds of statements?  Saying that he hopes to be x, y , and z is great and all, but in the end, it's nothing but talk, and he likely won't even be a fraction of any of those guys, in terms of talent, anyway, imo.  This is the players' version of what gms and coaches say during and after the draft, "we couldn't believe that he was still available," etc. ::) Woo.

Hope they don't still do the athletic testing after workouts. It is silly to test a guy after he is tired.

Montrezl Harrell measured with a 7'4.25 wingspan. Now he goes from an undersized 4 to having plenty of length to play the 4.

Oubre has an unreal wingspan of slightly over 7-2. His stock is going to soar!

Turner 7-4 wingspan, 9-4 reach...6-11 1/2 height

The real question for Harrell is whether he has the length to play as an undersized center a la Elton Brand.

If not, he better work real hard on that jumper.
You’ll have to excuse my lengthiness—the reason I dread writing letters is because I am so apt to get to slinging wisdom & forget to let up. Thus much precious time is lost.

He is still an tweener with long arms.  Guy will succeed just on his work ethic, I think.

I really don't want Upshaw, because of the character issues, but something tells me he won't be around at 28.

His "un official" wingspan measured at 7'7.5 nuts.

I'd take him at 28 just to see if his head is screwed on right. At 28 he is a low risk, high reward prospect - exactly the kind of guy you go after when you have the luxury of a 2nd #1 pick. But I wouldn't give up much of anything to get him and definitely wouldn't take him with #16.

I'd take him at #16. Roll the dice. That type of physical talent is rare.

Kaminsky is looking more and more like Olynyk every day.

Stanley Johnson at just 6'6.5'' is a bit surprising. Some sites had him at 6'8.

RHJ at solid 6'7, 7'2'' wingspan, 5% body fat!! Prototypical SF.
