he is already top four based on basically nothing.

If he goes and has a bad showing he could drop 10 spots.

If i were his agent there is no way in hell i would let him do much at all at the combine

Yep. In terms of risk/reward, it's a no brainer. Get measured, then GTFO.

Dennis and Jerry are in Chicago for the combine.
Justin Zannick is still in Europe scouting.

KOC is still involved. (Randy didn't say if KOC was in Chivago)

Notion that GMs take "so-what" stance on players skipping NBA draft combine not what I'm hearing in Chicago. One agent: "They're all pissed"

There was hope that though Michigan's Mitch McGary can't partake in drills, he would be at NBA draft combine. He won't be here at all, tho.

Couple of Combine comments --- not attending is going over badly with NBA teams. The "why" question is prevalent - lots of good jokes.
 
Julius Randle on not skipping NBA Combine: "I'm a competitor. I like to see how I stack up against other people."

Gary Harris and Elfrid Payton aren't participating in drills

Randle statement alone makes me like him more. If I viewed Randle and Vonleh the same, I would seriously consider taking Randle simply because he wasn't afraid to compete. Agents are the death of real sport.

Glad to hear this. Didn't Lindsey say KOC was the real facilitator or the Burke trade up?
 
Exum will be there, I don't think he's doing drills though, just measurements and interviews. I believe at least.

Porzingis or LaVine are at the top of my list at 23. There really is only one other player that I like there but he will most likely be gone and that is KJ.

I agree. He is a warrior. He just simply won't back down. I'd take fight & heart over talent any day of the week.

Randle knows he's gonna have Barkley measurements so he's trying to play the PR game to boost his stock.

Sir Charles, too was kinda overlooked for his size.
Wasn't that a failure in hindsight?
Maybe we will say the same stuff for Randle like 10 years later?

add-on:
of course there is a probability that he may end up being a new edition of OSU's Byron Houston, who was a highly-touted power forward in the NCAA, who was in combine discovered to be a real midget.

Barkley is a top 50 player all time. I'd be impressed if Randle is ever a top 50 player in any season of the NBA.

Maybe I'm being a bit harsh.
