Does this mean they will skip the "measurements" portion?
Interesting event. How it is beneficial for some to skip it and for others they can only pray they can get invited to it
Reading If a player is not invited , the chances of being drafted is slim to none (skip International Players)
When you are consensus #1, you have everything to lose and nothing to gain.
Don't think it's set in stone. Ingram might interest some teams to pick him number 1
Simmons has only an avg wingspan but could do well in max vertical test. Sprints etc
I've seen both play and I'd take Ingram over Simmons on his ability to shoot alone.I saw maybe 4 or 5 Simmons games, and he didn't do anything to make me think he's the next best thing. A good player, yes, the next icon of the NBA, maybe not. Ingram gets his shot off very well. I'm a bit worried about his lower body getting strong, but he's still young, and that shooting could only get better.
Now I'm more of Hield guy if we are out of top two. Kid can shoot with no space and get it off fast. I know people don't like how old he is at 22, but older kids tend to produce faster at times too. And his body is NBA ready. No reason he can't be a factor right off the bat.
But you also have a chance to get Valentine with your 16th, so you could take a chance on Brown with the 3rd pick and hop he developed a shooting touch.
