He talks slow :) LOL. Low motor even in his vocals :) Dude seriously talks like he’s high all the time.

I’m a Hoosier alum and watched every game. He won’t get a 2nd contract. He has NBA talent and skill but just floats out there. Seems like a good kid that just has no motor.

So three of the guys I highlighted on May 4th, earned trips to the combine (Jaylen Wells was the third). Kind of surprised Walter Clayton didn't earn an invite, considering he played well in both games. He might still get a last minute invite though. Isaac Jones is 6'9 (in shoes) with a 7'3 wingspan. Those are outstanding numbers. Dorian Finney Smith-esque.

Enrique Freeman is probably going to make his bones as a defender/rebounder, but he has shown an improved 3 point stroke and is an elite rebounder/has a nose for the ball.

Malique Lewis (6'6.75" w/o with 7'1" wingspan at 210 lbs) and Baye Ndongo (6'8.25" w/o with 7'.25" wingspan at 225 lbs) helped themselves at the G-League camp.

Meh. Dillingham's measurements really don't help him.

Those Clingan measurements give him a shot at #1.

Those Dillingham measurements are catastrophic.

Edey gained half an inch and .25 inch wingspan while losing 7 pounds vs the 23 combine.

He is going to be the same size as Dillingham, maybe the wingspan will be a little better, but when you see them standing next to each other, they are the same size.

At least Dillingham can play PG.

To small to not be very skilled. Also to small to be a defensive specialist in the NBA.

I think Edey has cemented himself as a lottery pick at this point. I'm not really sure if it's wise for a team to pick Dillingham in the lottery. Height and wingspan are a concern, but he's 164 pounds. You wonder how much more weight he can put on. Someone mentioned Trae Young, measurements are close, but Dillingham doesn't have an NBA level talent right now, and surely not at the level Trae had when he came into the league.

Matas' measurements aren't great either. I'd be shocked if the Spurs still had 4 and 8 on draft night.
