    I think the Fleming kid looks good, can stroke the 3, nice passer and plays with a high motor.

    Yaxel Lendeborg, is better than both.

    He has outstanding measurements. He can shoot, defend, rebound.

    Biggest drawback is he's a little older after taking a non-conventional path to college

    Here's game film when his team matched up against Flemming's

    I think it’s hilarious that a bunch of Jazz fans are calling for Ainge’s scalp after the massive tank job they did to finish with the worst record only netted them the 5th pick.

    UGH! this stings. We were so close to getting Flagg!

    The Dallas Mavericks winning draft lottery combination was 10-14-11-7. The Blazers had 10-14-11-6.

    Yeah he plays really strong in the paint too. I really think he'd be a great small ball 5 who depending on development could be a nice piece to have with Clingan.

    Also no one has this dude close to our pick so we'd probably be able to trade back and get a second FRP or some other kind of value and still pick Fleming.

    So I have 4 really good friends of mine at the combine right now.
    I had heard a rumor and hollered at them if it was true or not.
    A player during their height measurements got popped for having their shoe liners INSIDE their socks. What are those things called, you slide them in the shoes so they are more comfortable? This dude was trying to get an extra 2 inches in! Props for trying right?

    Queen finished almost dead last in EVERY single athletic category! And did horribly in the shooting drills

    Insoles

    I'd move him up the draft board for being innovative!

    That’s exactly why you don’t tank. In addition to it being a form of cheating, the results are not guaranteed.

    Lifts are I believe the term. Insoles are just cushioning, I wear them in my sneakers for walking because my 70 year old feet need a bit of cushion for daily five mile walk. They don't make me look taller.

    But insoles can make you a little taller if you wear them inside your socks when your shoes are off.

    I bet he was still better at every one of them than pre-rookie Jokic would've been.
