Wait... the draft combine measurements has been done already and we don't have a thread for it?

Cooper is 6'7-3/4 barefoot. /He will be a legit 3 or 4 in the league

Auburn guys...

Broome 6'9 1/4, 7'0 wingspan, 9'0 1/2 standing reach. Hits basically minimum requirements for centers

Pettiford 6'0, 6'5 1/2 wingspan, 8'0 standing reach. Small, but expected. Terrific offensive talent IMO, ball is on a string and silky smooth shot. But his defense seems like it is going to be REALLY bad to me. I think he goes late 1st or early 2nd. Not sure he would make it to our 2nd rounder and don't think I would take him with 25. Fun player though.

Broome is too small for the Huge Centers that are trending in the league right now. He needs to be a PF to succeed.

Idiosyncratic wrote:Combine measurements coming in. Some relevant ones to us :

Jase Richardson at 6'0 1/2. Probably stock down, let him fall to me at 16 I will still gladly take him. 8'2 standing reach and 6'6 wingspan so he has long arms. Bad height for a likely off-ball guard, but we have Suggs and AB to cover the bigger guard and also Jase tries on defense IMO and wasn't bad on that end. That was always the question though, short without clear PG skills.

Danny Wolf 6'10 1/2, 7'2 wingspan, 9'1 standing reach.

Cedric Coward 6'5 with a 7'2 wingspan and 8'10 standing reach... wow... Still maintain I would take him at 25.

Fleming 6'8 with a 7'5 wingspan, 9'1 1/2 standing reach He is massive. If the shooting is real he is going to be a really good complimentary piece. Or if he can play center he won't need the shot as much.

Sorber 6'9 with a 7'6 wingspan 9'1 standing reach. Super strong, long arms, great reactions for blocks and steals. You can't go wrong with Sorber IMO

Had randomly seen Sam V talking about him..... but damn.... those measurements are impressive.

Does everything.... and on good efficiency.... I like it. Duke sees something in him and he prides himself on being a 2 way player.

So Wolf is 6'10-1/2 barefoot. Just a shade under 7foot.

Its all about his athleticism if he goes up or down in the draft.

Duke nation in shambles.... he is/was thier #1 NIL transfer target. If he goes to the draft.... dang.

Wow Jase is smaller than Cole? yeah... I have a feeling he is a low 2nd rounder..

Possibly, the problem is I'm not sure he can shoot well enough to play 4 outside of certain lineups. I still think the rebounding tenacity could translate. Defense will be interesting. He is what he is, late 1st early 2nd backup big IMO. I've probably soured a little, but I still like him.

Yeah he is really interesting. Problem I have is lack of production against real competition. It is a tiny sample, but his games against relevant programs are not good. Does things like excellent free throw shooting that should translate regardless of comp, but that is the blemish for me. Late 1st early 2nd player though, will be some flaws.

I know it won't happen but I wish we'd trade up for Trae Johnson.
I watched a lot of his games and he's a leader and a winner.
Too bad his team was poorly put together and coached-up.

There’s just something about Clayton Jr, he’s gotten better at ever level and every season has improved statistically. I hope they bring him in and take a seriously.

I think he can help Magic immediately. I can take him over Cole without question asked.
