Will teams take their own measurements at workouts, or do they just go off of the combine results? What about players that don't go to the combine, or don't get measurements done there?
I love Scottie Lewis. He started off the season shooting well from 3, then fell off. If he can land with a team like the Spurs, I think he can be really good. Chip Engelland will fix that jumper.
Lewis was so good coming out of high school it's actually sad to see how he hasn't lived up to the hype. I wish him the best but he needs to go back to college.
I see him being a more athletic version of Draymond Green for sure but that's only if he lands on the right team. You put him on the wrong roster like Orlando then he may not even sniff the court his first few years. It has to be the right fit for an organization that knows how to utilize his unique skills.
This may be a random question but I'll ask it anyway- with the strength in depth in this draft compared to last year, how much more difficult do you think that makes it for teams to either move up in the draft or trade their way back into into it ie how much more would teams need to give up to get a top 20 pick this year compared to last year?
I think getting into the Top 5/6 is going to be tough. I do think the Warriors might be willing to move out or down, so 7 might be as high as team can get. I don't think moving into the 20s will be as tough as there is still a lack of consensus in that range.

Yes. They will take their own which is probably not great news for Sharife Cooper

Yes. Amazing athlete. Good defender. Not ready.
I agree. He looks invisible out there.
That's going to have to happen to help him stick. Defensively and athletically he's very good. But the offense has a long ways to go.
The more I see of Scottie Barnes, the more I'm convincing myself that he's worth a pick before Kuminga.

Yes, he needs to be on the right team for sure. He can really fit anywhere ... but I think he maximizes his value as a huge point guard.
Totally agree. I think if he lands in the right situation then he'll blossom
Yup. He'll be ahead of Kuminga when we release our updated Big Board 6.0 next week.
