    Standing reach is by far the most important for a big.

    Totally disappointed in Zeller's reach. I assumed it'd be in the 9'0" range being a legit 7-footer.

    I was the first one on your boy Lillard. Olshey needs to hire me as consultant.

    From the 50's?! Wow.

    I like him, and I would've been ecstatic to get him at #39. But mid-first?

    Gobert also surprisingly weighed 238 lbs and I read some comments his frame could add another 20-30 lbs, only 4.4% body fat.

    Dieng measured well at 7'3 1/2 and a big standing reach at 9'3 1/2, he came in a little light at 230 lbs.

    Noel was scrawny at 206 lbs

    Adams excellent measurements and a stud at 257 lbs

    Olynyk has won me over the last couple days. Not only a big who shoots it, a fluid athlete who can put the ball on the floor.

    Kelly Olynyk clearly the most skilled big man here. Looks like a guard with his handle and jumper. Measured just 6-10 wingspan vs 7-0 height

    Steven Adams continues to show a better than expected skill-level in the drills. Doesn't seem to be thinking as much. Just competing hard.

    Jeff Withey clearly more of a 5 on 5 guy. Body doesn't look great compared to other big men, and he hasn't been so impressive in the drills.

    Teams are all over the map on Mike Muscala. Some thing he's a major sleeper. Others don't think he's a NBA player at all. I like him a lot.

    So for Olynyk we are basically talking about a back up PF. That is not a knock on him as that position is important too. But does anyone think he can play center in the NBA? Is he physical enough? Does he mind banging down low with the big boys? If he can ,AND he has those type of skills, I would change my mind about him.

    There aren't many here at NBA Combine that will/have helped themselves. Not much to learn. Mike Muscala definitely helped himself, though.

    I would not be shocked to see two Patriot League guys go in the first round: McCollum and Muscala.
