    wonder if Gobert works out well if he can crack top 10?

    Best two players I've seen at the Combine today have been Steven Adams and Rudy Gobert. Both helping themselves a lot here

    How many people are NOT playing at the combine? Adams and Gobert might've already been considered the best of those actually appearing.

    Bunch of point guards I like in this group as sleepers: Phil Pressey, Peyton Siva, Ray McCallum, and especially Myck Kabongo.

    A lot of eyes are on Myck Kabongo among the PGs here in Chicago. Great athlete but still raw. Strong defender.

    A little off topic but:

    Mike Rice ‏@mikerice6 42s
    Word from deshaun Thomas from oh st. Worked out with Greg od en he looks great. He is looking for a team that needs a big man.

    The "he" here is Oden, not Thomas, right?

    I wonder what those workouts entailed. If it was lifting weights, I'm not so interested. But I really do want Oden to have SOME kind of a career in the NBA. Even gravity bound he could be a great low-post defender and rebounder.

    Bucknell's Mike Muscala - a stretch 4 who was coined by ESPN's Chad Ford as a "super sleeper" - says he has workout scheduled with Portland

    Thing to keep in mind re: players interviews w/teams at Chicago combine: Some teams dont interview players they intend to fly in for workout

    Nice workout for Pierre Jackson. Looked good in all aspects and just won the sprints at the end.

    After Lillard's domination of the combine last year, scouts might not be quite so quick to discount strong performances against similarly lacking competition. Maybe just wishful thinking.

    Best interview/personality of the day at Chicago combine: Pittsburgh center Steven Adams. Great sense of humor, engaging, self-aware

    Victor Oladipo said he measured at 6-4 1/4 with shoes. Ben McLemore told me he was 6-3 without shoes.
