2017 NBA Draft Combine ( Tues May 9th - Sun May 14th)

Figured we needed a place to keep track of all data and measurements from the combine this week. Actually pretty excited seeing as I don't have a team in the playoffs or anything.

I **** hate the twitter layout this year. It's so much harder to track anything.

I saw somewhere that Swanigan is skipping it.. but unusual for non-lottery guy, isn't it? Would he maybe have a 1st round promise this early?

He's not skipping it. He's just skipping the scrimmage. He doesn't want to look bad defensively.

Interested to see Evan's measurements. His Nike Academy in 2016 had him at 5'11.5 with shoes and a 6'4 wingspan. His team lists him at 6'1. I think if he measures under 5'10 w/o shoes, his stock is dropping to 2nd round.

Zach Collins' wingspan will be important too.

Just a reminder on Thursday you can watch more of the unedited stuff on ESPN3. Unfortunately I can't use it this year.

All I can see is for Thurs and Friday on ESPN. Assuming twitter should start feeding some info on some guys throughout today and tomorrow though.

Interesting notes: Jarrett Allen is friends with Myles Turner and they talk regularly. He's also in the Pacers range. Mo Wagner was told he should return for school and DJ Wilson isn't 100% in. He might return to try to improve stock, which is sad because I think he could go high in this draft.

Wow good on fultz to attend..that move alone makes me believe he deserves to be the #1 pick. Very refreshing to hear.

I don't think much happened today. I've been stalking twitter all day and got nothing. Just teams talking and players arriving. A few interviews, but not real interviews.

John Collins wingspan is really surprising, but also really confusing. Why was he so bad on defense if he's that long? And that's one heck of a growth spurt from the last time he was tested or the people who measured him before had no idea what they were doing. Or am I misreading his wingspan?

Yeah I was reading it incorrectly. 7'0 is not good for him.
