It's insanity how you can have the ability to reach 2' above the basket and only average 0.1 blocks per game throughout your college career.

0.5% block rate is an all-time low for a prospect that I have ever seen. That's lower than Trae freaking Young.

I'm a bit late on the pre-draft hype train. And I have watched almost no college basketball this year(except for some March Madness). Give me some players to watch guys? Also... is the combine going on right now? Can we watch it somewhere?

Pretty sure there is no broadcast today. Tomorrow and Thursday will be the scrimmages.

My personal favorites at our top two picks are Jarace Walker and Brice Sensabaugh. Plenty of guys to consider though.

these numbers are interesting. and are you referring to OMP with that comment?

whether he fudged his standing reach or not, Podz coming out looking great there as well in spite of the lack of wingspan and height. dude gets up.

Probably one of the biggest surprises so far for me. And that underhand lob might have changed my perception and interest in him. I'm easily swayed these days.

ha. but in all seriousness, that underhand lob should just be more evidence - on top of the gaudy stats - that he just knows how to play.

Hollinger sent out his top 20 and Podz was in honorable mention. He mentioned the float game being prolific... which may be the cheat code that allows him to be more than just a shooter. That would make sense and would be another reason to be a believer.

Reading Hollinger's stuff now. I always enjoy it. Dont know how good he is with his rankings, but I like his reasonings.

He adds his own flavor and has a few different experiences in life that add perspective.

Here's some more lobs. Him and THT seem to have a similar lob throwing gene.

Just learned what proprioception means. Every day is a school day!

Here is the list of vert cheaters.... good news is standing reach is likely bigger but you need to shave a bit off the vert.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Is Brandon Miller at the Combine?

my guess has been no. miller, scoot and wemby (obviously wemby for other reasons as well) seem to be locked in and have no reason to participate.

Leonard Miller measured essentially 1 inch better than last year. I don't think he's trying to game the system.

I don't find those numbers particularly suspicious. The human body has all kinds of shapes and sizes.
