I'm guessing he got a draft promise to pull out of the combine. We'll see if he does any workouts.

Yup.

Idea of trading down for him and finding him there is not happening. The only question is will he be available at 13.

He should be available there unless OKC takes him. I really hope we trade for another pick. So much tantalizing talent in that 10-20 range.

Sasser's wingspan makes him more intriguing.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

If Kobe is 6'4.25 in no shoes, how tall is with shoes?

6.5 and a half?

6.5 lefty PG, maybe you can hope for your best Fox impersonation

Hood being 6"4 is shocking, remember arguing with someone who swore he was over 6" 6

Wingspan is so overrated. Alex Caruso 6'6" wingspan all-nba defender. Tons of players with long wingspans who suck. Tons who have short wingspans who are great.

If a player is a good player you take him. They will find ways to make it work. Looking at wingspan and letting it override or take away from actual gameplay footage and/or statistical productivity in any capacity is a sign of a poor evaluator.

Yes, now BPMGatekeeper's whole theory about 6'4 guards which he tried to apply to Bufkin has gone down the toilet and I warned him about the accuracy of listed heights.
