**2016 NBA Draft Combine Thread (measurements, news, rumors, etc.)**

[GreenShooter]

I'm starting to like Thon Maker. Legit 7-footer with great athleticism. I hope we get a shot at him and he turns into a poor man's (more like middle-class) Kevin Garnett. Another KG is a little too much to ask but middle-class isn't. What would that equal to though? I can't think of another comp at this moment. Chris Bosh maybe?
Edit: Jermaine O'Neal? I'll take Bosh )

Diallo is looking really good, he's blocking a lot of shots kind of like Mickey last year.

Robert Carter is also impressing.

Poeltl improved his stock. So did Qi. Ellenson is taller than I expected. Skal is a stick, only 218. So is Brice Johnson at only 208. Solid wingspan for Valentine. Benti should rise on mocks. Just over 6-8, but with a wingspan over 7-1, reminds me a lot of Millsap.

If you think Skal is a stick, you'd love the fact that Thon Maker weighed in at 216.

Cal F Jaylen Brown has met with the #Celtics and #Lakers

[Evantime34]

From what I've seen on twitter the C's have interviewed Hield, Ingram, Murray, Brown, Baldwin and Davis. I think they are allowed to interview 20 so there are 14 names we haven't heard yet.

Brown looked like a high-character, well-spoken kid in his interview. I'd love for him or Poeltl (from what I've heard) to slip for us to move up and get him if we don't trade the 2016 pick.

Mikki Moore.

Whoa, I'm not so sure about Poeltl rising. Shoot, he might actually drop. His standing reach measured at 8'9.5". That's pretty bad. Wow. That's bizarre given his height w/o shoes is 7'0.25" and his wingspan is 7' 2.75". Both good measurements AFAIK.

That's the same standing reach as Sully.

Prob right after the wingspan measurement were announced, Danny pounced on the phone

Next -  Rozier sorry you been traded. Another player has a longer wingspan than your 6'8 wingspan

Yes but low IQ.  He will get dizzy trying to understand CBS system. Pass

Wow. I've heard of this discrepancy being an issue in the past too but for some reason I thought it wouldn't be an issue this year, especially at the NBA combine rather than the schools, nike summit, etc. Some awful quality control. I'm mad.

Zhou Qi (China), who has a 7'7.75" wingspan, has an unofficial 32" max vert #NBACombine

Might be the skinniest player I've ever seen
