Mudiay is skipping the entire combine.

Emmanuel Mudiay won't accept his invitation to the Chicago NBA draft combine, sources tell RealGM. He'll continue training on west coast.
That is strange. I wonder what he hopes to gain.

The 5 on 5 games will be boring if the top-20 players sit out.
It's not what he hopes to gain, but what he hopes not to lose, which is draft position. A good showing isn't likely to move him any higher than where he's projected now, but a bad showing could cause him to drop.

It's bold because it is much more likely to hurt him than help him. If he does not move up to 1 or 2 (a very unlikely accomplishment) he probably would have been better off sitting out.I have a lot of respect for Russell participating in the combine. He is a lock for 3 or 4.

I'm in Chicago for my 1st pre-draft workout of the season: Sam Dekker, RJ Hunter, Bobby Portis, Cliff Alexander headline

I always write that Bobby Portis does everything well, nothing great. Need to revise that. Portis' motor is great. Always goes hard.

RJ Hunter shot 19-25 from NBA 3 in drills. Sam Dekker went 16-for-25 in same draft workout here in Chicago.
Decker's wingspan is longer than frank kaminsky's by .5". 8'3.5" to 8'3"
