    I kinda like Jamaal Franklin. He's essentially Ruben Patterson. Which I don't think is that bad. If we can consolidate our 2nd rounders for a late 1st we should go after him.

    Remember the buzz Leonard received last year at the combine? Similar to what Adams is getting now.

    I just want about 3-4 guys to create such a buzz they move up in the top 9, forcing someone else down to us.

    I think Gobert is a lock to go in the top 10 now.

    Zeller coming in with a 6'11" wingspan?

    A huge difference than his reported 6'8" wingspan.

    His most important measurement will be his standing reach. He's in trouble if its really 8'9".

    After a great showing at the combine Nate Wolters has some media guys calling him the biggest sleeper in the draft.

    Measuring (w/shoes) 6'5" really helps his stock.

    I watched Wolters come into Hec Ed and absolutely torch a rated UW team a couple years ago. Kid can ball. I just wonder if he can deal with the speed of the NBA game.

    That's the game that sticks out for me.

    T.Ross couldn't handle him. Neither could Wroten.

    Ford thinks Wolters is creeping into the mid-first.

    Olynyk:

    6'10.75" w/o shoes
    7'0" w/shoes
    6'9.75" wingspan
    9'0" standing reach

    Such an odd build.

    T-Rex arms but a solid standing reach.

    For bigs, Indiana's Cody Zeller got a strong measurement of 6-10.75 in socks and 7-0.25 in shoes. However, his 6-10.75 wingspan and 8-10 standing reach are on the small side.

    French prospect Rudy Gobert had the most ridiculous measurements of the camp: 7-0.5 in socks and 7-2 in shoes with a crazy 7-8.5 wingspan and 9-7 standing reach.

    One GM on Gobert: "Those are historic measurements. It's going to help him. That sort of length can cover up lots of weaknesses."

    Gonzaga's Kelly Olynyk wins the "T-Rex Award." He measured 7-0 in shoes but with only a 6-9.75 wingspan.

    Those kind of measurements sure covered up a lot of Biyombo's weaknesses.

    As a Centre your standing reach is much more important than wingspan. Wingspan is more important if you're a perimeter defender.
