    Steven Adams actually shot 72% from the floor in 15 footer on Thursday.

    Colton Iverson looks like a good 2nd round pick in these drills. He boxes out well and takes up a lot of space down low.

    Gobert looks too weak to hold his ground in the post.

    Over Olynk for sure.

    I still would take Zeller over Adams just for his offensive tools.

    Oladipo on the practice court throwing the ball off the wall and rising for some pretty crazy dunks. Good way to loosen up for S&A drills

    Indiana G Victor Oladipo came off very well at NBA Draft Combine. Looked great in drills, strong interviews with teams, a hit w/the media.

    That said, some teams don't like Oladipo's game, think he's just an athlete. Hearing Cavs one of them, although not directly from them.

    Steven Adams vertical looked really impressive from where I saw it. He can get up for a 7 footer.

    NBA Draft Combine notes from last night: Lakers, Hawks may aim for lottery pick; McCullom, Porter, Muhammad, more.

    Damn, that's supposed to be his main weakness. We gotta get this guy! Ball handling SG alongside Lillard that can hit the three and make good passes to keep the ball moving around the perimeter. Either overreach with the #10 (I don't think we'll regret it) or trade for a vet and find a way to pick up a later pick for Hardaway. Opportunities don't come around often to pick up a guy with the perfect skill set that is so undervalued.

    Allen Crabbe and Tim Hardaway Jr seem to be showing the highest skill-level in the shooting guard group. Caldwell-Pope struggling again.

    Gotta feel for Archie Goodwin. He really can't buy a basket here in Chicago. Seems to be a mental thing at this point. He's better than this

    Rudy Gobert with a 25 inch standing vertical and a 29" max vert. Not great numbers.
