Chicago Combine

May 14-18

Parker, Embiid, and Wiggins will skip all of it.

Not even going for measurements? WHAAAAAAAAA?

Not even going for measurements? WHAAAAAAAAA?

Why should they go? I do not see any positives coming out of it. They are all listed as a potential #1 pick. Only thing the combine can do is potentially hurt their stock.

 

[addictionary]

Why do star candidates skip Combine?

I'm seriously asking.

Was this necessary?

Im very interested in what happens with these reported monster vertical jump #'s

Zach LaVine and Nick Johnson reportedly have 47" verticals which would break the DJ Stephens record
Thanasis Antetokoumpo, 44"
Markel Brown, 43"
Aaron Gordon, 43"
James Young, 42"
Jahii Carson, 42"
Jerami Grant, 40"
Deonte Burton, 40"


Players like Cleanthony Early, Semaj Christon, Adriean Payne, Kendall Williams, KJ McDaniels, Glenn Robinson III, and Nik Stauskas are expected to jump close to 40" and im sure im missing a few

I agree. They're skipping the combine due to their periods.

I love the combine. The measurements are awesome when they measure some dudes and they are three of four inches shorter than listed. I wish they would show the measurements and see how some guys grow three inches by just putting on their shoes. I think the combine is going to be on ESPN2 and ESPNU. I'm really excited to see how Julius Randal and Aaron Gordon measure out. If Julius Randal isn't a legitimate 6'9", we should pass on him.

I just spit food on my screen.

Not if he can play SF.... 6'8 would be ideal, 6'9 would be FANTASTIC.

I'm probably most interested in guys like Kyle Anderston and HotttniKKK Stauskkkkus... if they measured out with their athletic testing, I wonder if their stocks would jump?

 

[Doublea]

It'd be interesting to see what Exum measures out to be.

Combine becoming less important every year for players projected in lottery. You go get measured, talk to a handful of teams and then wait for individual workouts - and only do those when you can scrimmage against clearly inferior players.

Yeah, I think the guys who are perceived unathletic can help themselves the most with a good showing. No one really cares if Gordon jumps 43" (he won't) instead of 38", but guys like Anderson, McDermott, Ennis can really help themselves. Last year Cody Zeller tested out surprisingly well and it got him picked 4th.

The list grows every year, it really only effects 1 of our 3 picks though. Sucks even more for Orlando, who has a top 3 and #12.
