Get gets media.
The combine could be *big* for him if he tests 6'9. There are always some surprises at the Combine.

I watched the PGs and SGs today and it was pretty dull. Lots of boring drills that don't really show you much in terms of in game ability. Stephen Curry and Jrue Holiday stood out above everyone else in the PG session and Gerald Henderson and DeMar DeRozan looked like men amongst boys in the SG session. Henderson hit maybe 5 or 6 threes in a row from NBA range in the 3 on 3 and 4 on 4 stuff they did full court. DeRozan hit a couple nice pull up jumpers and crammed home some ridiculous dunks in transition. That was pretty much all I got out of it today though. I wish they would have played more full court competitive drill sets like they did at the end.
Harden, Rubio and Tyreke Evans didn't participate.
