2013 Chicago Combine May 15-19

Please no Plumlee! Hantlers is a Duke homer and he doesn't even want him on the Jazz.

He's better than his brother, but I'm still not high on him.

Would rather Schroeder have previous commitments but oh well. I'm growing increasingly skeptical he'll be there at 14.

That's the reason I've cooled right off on Schroeder, the same way I cooled right off of Burke when he was projected top #7 a couple of months ago.

And to think Burke was a potential #14 pick, with Schroeder a possible 2nd rounder barely 3 months ago...

BTW it's now "Antetokounmpo".

Remember that.

Antetokounmpo.

He'll get measured in Europe, and I'm sure he'll do workouts. He's got lottery potential.

 

[The Midnight]

If we completely missed out on any PG this year, but Antetokounmpo turns out to be a real steal, then I'd be cool with that.

I'd be very cool with that, to be honest witchu.

It's going to be hard to keep the Jazz from getting Schroeder, McCollum or Giannis in this draft. I'm also okay with Goodwin, which I've expounded upon ad nauseum.

Re: Plumlee - I'm assuming Chad Ford remembers that Noel is still in the draft. Not sure what's so exciting about Plumlee here.

Also, both Tim Hardaway Jr. and Glen Rice Jr. seem underrated to me. Both could go in the 20s.

It'll be easy to at least get 1 though, wouldn't you say?

Does anyone know if they are putting this on NBATV again? I know they did it last year and they spent way too much time with the camera on Chad Ford's face.

Let the Combine begin! And may the odds be ever in your favor.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

So what is happening at the combine today? Nothing today is being televised, right?

Scott Howard-Cooper @SHowardCooper Louisville C Gorgui Dieng in a walking boot and out of drills at pre-draft camp because of sprained right ankle. Nothing serious, he says.

Another one bites the dust!

Gotta protect that perceived value.

I expect the Jazz will try to bring him in for a workout. He probably won't come. Already predicted to go higher than 14.

That could really mess with the Jazz on draft day. If he falls, they may have to make a decision at 14 or 21 without seeing him in a workout---that has led to some disaters in the past.
