2023 NBA Combine Thread

More of the highly ranked PG's should play the combine scrimmages. It seems so easy for a good PG to standout if you are just a capable ball-handler who can make simple decisions. Bailey, a guy with limited PG experience, looks good just doing the basic things but it really stands out in a scrimmage setting.
 
Haven’t been able to watch. Has he been that bad?

yesterday he was so bad on offense i was embarrassed for him. i haven't watched today yet.
He has had some drives into the paint into nothing that he turned into fouls because he's long/athletic, but they were lucky. He also had a drive into a post pivot turn around fadeaway from about 10' that he airballed by an extreme amount.

I think he might be a smart player, but he has no idea how to score in a half-court setting (and he had a charge in transition because he has absolutely no ability to control himself in space with the ball)
 
I think Walsh could be playable in a few years, but he should just return to school IMO unless he wants to live in the G-League on a 2-way deal.
 
It's not saying much, and I'm being biased, but Amari just stands out at this level of competition. All it takes is to not be cringe. The ability to not look bad and make routine plays is king.
 
One bad habit that is working for Bailey, however, is that he cuts every time instead of spacing out to 3. He's gonna have to space out and take/make 3's at the next level.
