Hopefully this means Moore is there at 60! He's like the guy we hoped against hope GK might've been.

Sticking to my guns on him. Think he's got major upside. Liked how he battled against stronger players and his length is honestly **** ridiculous. He measured out with Ersan's standing reach and I believe it.

If that 9’1.5” standing reach holds, it’s the most absurd measurement I’ve ever seen. He’s a 6’5” guard with a 6’10” wingspan - I have no idea how that equates to a pf/c’s standing reach.

Do you know of any website that has all the results for the combine? I keep checking the nba site, but it’s still only showing measurements which is annoying.

Narrow shoulders and long arms.

You have to select an old year and replace the split year with 2023, i.e. 2021-2022 with 2023

Terquavion Smith is the next in a long list of guys (Bones Hyland, Lou Williams, Jaden Hardy) who if they develop any sort of point skills, they can be really special in combination with their elite shot creation ability. But if not, they end up as net negative players. He's probably still worth a mid-late 1st in this draft, so I'd definitely take a flier in the early-mid 2nd round if possible.

Jaime Jaquez seems kind of intriguing. He moves like he's in cement, but somehow finds a crafty way to score (his turnaround jumper is nice). Not sure how he'd translate to the NBA, but he's got some interesting skills a team could work with.

Looks like the 12’ club is:

Julian Phillips
Zach Eddy
O-Max Prosper
DaRon Holmes II
Cam Whitmore
Leonard Miller

He’s definitely on my short list if we end up with a late first or early 2nd. Feels like another one of those guys that people overthink every year.

My mind is split on Jaquez. Sure, sometimes people overthink the age and athletic profile stuff of good college guys who end up translating (Brogdon, Kyle Anderson, Josh Hart, etc.), but more often the case is that guys lacking measurables, quickness, or athletic outlier traits tend to bust or just be ordinary bench guys. His poor efficiency is a pretty big red flag for me.

Comfortable pulling up from midrange. He’s made 40.6 percent of dribble-jumper 2s and 36.5 percent of dribble-jumper 3s in four years at UCLA. Add in his 74.5 percent from the line, and there’s reason for optimism that he’ll someday become a reliable shooter off the catch.


Still an iffy 3-point shooter who will need to prove that he can regularly hit catch-and-shoot chances to raise his draft stock. He’s made 31.1 percent of his catch-and-shoot 3s in four years at UCLA, per Synergy.


Besides, he looks like Spanish Hedo Turkoglu so he can’t fail
