Posted some of this before but for those that missed it: The jazz can interview many players at the combine, up to 18. They submit a list of players they want to talk with and the NBA makes assignments. I thought the players had to attend the interview with all teams the NBA assigns them or none of the teams the nba assigns.
I remember KOC saying last year that if a team wants to talk with a player that is projected outside of the teams picks range that the interview might still happen if the team can explain how a reasonable trade might be done to draft the players in that range. Last year I think the Jazz were interviewing in the 14-22 range because there was a chance that they would trade down.

What incentive does van pelt have to keep "this" quite? He is a reporter after all.
Just a guess: Reporters need to keep good relations with sources. If they ran with every piece of information that they hear, they'd soon have no sources left. Sometimes the source will let them know things they can't broadcast.
This. And well said.

But this information gets leaked. That's the reason to tell the reporter in the first place I'd guess.

Last night I watched the combine. I have to say that I was underwhelmed by DMiller, QMiller and Royce White. Then I went and check my twitter feed and saw that teams were raving about White. I guess that they saw much more than I did.
White was certainly strong and was able to move people to get closer to the rim but he didn't finish as well as I thought that he would in that setting.
I was also disappointed in PJ3's shot. He couldn't get much to fall when the camera was on him
One last thought. I was very upset that they cut off the centers near the beginning. I wanted to see O'Quinn as well as Leonard, Plumlee and Zeller. Stupid ESPN!

Because he got fouled every time.

That is true. Maybe TJones will get drafted by the Spurs because he had the Hack-a-White down.
