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

[Eddie20]

Washburn-

Vanderbilt 7-footer Damian Jones has interviewed with the #Celtics

[loco_91]

Zhou Qi, 20 years old (China), unofficially has largest wingspan (7'7.75") + standing reach (9'4.5") at '16 combine

That is nuts. I wonder if he's really 20 though.

He's actually 20 barefoot, 19 in shoes.

Is this humor? If so, I don't follow. Players listed heights are with shoes, so since this is without shoes it makes a difference.

Sherrod-

Kansas' Cheick Diallo says he will interview with the .@celtics tomorrow. League execs spoken to on Thursday said he'll go in the 20s.

I am more interested in the player's ability to play at a high level than their physical measurements. Physical measurements don't equate to success. I want mental maturity, athleticism, and transferable skills. I think the Celtics will get more out of their team workouts and the interviews here than they will the physical measurements that so many here seem to be drooling about.

Solid list. You can see we are targeting shooting and size. I would also include Baldwin as a notable. He might go top 10 with the way his combine numbers went:

6-4 (w/shoes)
6-11 wingspan
38 inch vert
3rd fastest 3/4 court sprint time

I find the Maker and Qi interviews interesting. Seems to suggest they're going to take some chances on some high potential/bust prospects with our plethora of picks.

Lentil shot pretty well in drills


NBA 3's
10 for 15

On the move from 15 ft mimicking game action/speed
20 for 30

[Eddie20]

Prince, who reminds me of Crowder, had nice numbers as well.

Nearly 6-8 in shoes, 220 lb
Wingspan 6-11.5
Standing Vert 34
Max Vert 36


Jones, who we are interviewing, also had a nice combine.

6-11.5 (w/shoes), 243.6 lb
Wingspan of nearly 7-4
Standing Reach 9-0
Standing Vert 36
Max Vert 37

Ellenson's numbers are better than i thought. Has enough size to play both power forward and center.  I think he is going to slide up in the draft based on this. Kid is aggressive. Kind of like Sabonis, but bigger, a little younger too.

I was impressed with him as well.   I guess the knock is he is not always playing hard from what I have read but he ability is there.

I've had a feeling for a while that Ainge would draft Damion Jones.

Those guys will probably be in play for 23, 31, 35

How does that make you feel?

I like it.
