    Ricky Ledo may have just had the Eye-Opening Move of the Day: a filthy Jamal Crawford-esque crossover into a thunderous two-handed slam.

    I keep seeing this name in tweets today.

    We don't need him to be a star, just really good.

    Yeah, like a sixth man, eventual starter kind of guy would be fine with me.

    Eventual 6th man of the year candidate is good enough for me.

    Reggie Bullock looking quite impressive.

    Early indication in Chicago is that Cleveland really likes Nerlens Noel and Otto Porter with their top pick.

    First day of NBA Combine in the books. Steven Adams & Rudy Gobert garnered most buzz. Reggie Bullock & Allen Crabbe really shot it well

    The Trail Blazers are actively looking for help at center and appear willing to trade their lottery pick for immediate help and depth.

    San Diego St. SG Jamaal Franklin met with the Blazers yesterday, and the whole meeting consisted of a psychological test taken on a computer

    Franklin said he thinks Blazers sent psychologist Dana Sinclair because teams question his character. "Because I'm a warrior on the court.''

    Franklin said he considers himself one of the best defenders in the draft. He compares his offense to JR Smith and his defense to Tony Allen

    Of note on Franklin: His wing span was measured at 6-foot-11 1/4 ... In other words, very impressive

    Steven Adams ascent towards the Lottery has officially begun. Very impressive today was the consensus from teams I spoke to.

    I think that several players of value will be available at 10. I'm not convinced any of the top three are that much better than those available at 4-10.
    Would love to see us get Gobert, but it will take some time for him. Although, if he can just come in and block shots and rebound that would be enough.

    I'd move Leonard out for him

    Gobert @ 7'3" and a near 7'9" wingspan makes him extremely intriguing.

    My fear with Gobert is that he is averaging under 5 boards in 21 min/game last year. Not exactly a rebounding monster. It does sound like he alters shots and did get 1.6 blocks in those few minutes. He has to be able to rebound to be really useful for us.

    Especially with his mobility. That one video that was posted here a month ago made it look like he can actually move. Which a lot of guys his size lack. Where is that video?

    Edit: Never Mind on the video. I found it and although he moves well, I think i am getting his video mixed up with another international player who I saw running the floor.

    Gobert dominated the paint. His standing reach looks cartoonish.
