Anyone know when they do the measurements?

Got the sense that if Knight is there at 5, Raps will take him. HSOB, what do you think? It's obviously early on in the process, but Knight seems to fit all of the criteria he was laying out for the 5th pick.

Thanks for the recaps! Sounds like pretty standard comments from BC (saying a lot without stating anything too definitive) which echoes much of the same sentiments he made post-lottery night.

Anyway, don't want to key into much on those "instant gratification" comments, but I'd be disappointed if we do pass on someone like Kemba for a Valanciunas.

Wow they're going hard at the 3 on 2, 2 on 1. Those were some nice blocks.

Singleton is looking impressive defensively. I didn't know he was that big.

Singleton is an incredible defender. Got to watch him a lot in his career. Very long and just disrupts everyone. Was a big reason for FSU's incredible defense.

Interviewing Josh Selby. I think the team that picks him up late in the draft could get great value for him.

Are they doing measurements today?

That's a good question. I'm wondering as well.

Well, it sounds like BC is on the same track as everyone on this board.

Instant gratification in Knight/Walker or go for the home run with a euro who may take a while to develop.

Interviewing Kawhi. Interesting he's not participating today, but will be doing some drills on Friday.

Awesome! I'll be watching for sure... And Singleton is someone I've been high on all season, and I'd love to add him with a hypothetical 2nd pick. Assuming he continues to work on that jumper, he'd be a perfect fit next to DeMar.

HSOB SIRHC · Post #1137 » by **HSOB SIRHC** » Thu May 19, 2011 4:27 pm

I'm thinking they'll do measurements tomorrow. They mentioned agility testing and Teams interviewing players on Friday.

SwiftyV · Post #1138 » by **SwiftyV** » Thu May 19, 2011 4:31 pm

Tobias Harris is really an interesting prospect. He's a pretty versatile SF. Obviously not at 5 but he is a guy that would be solid later on in the draft.

I believe that is tomorrow. Today they did measurements early in the morning. RT @Gibby620: When do they do the athletic testing?
