Edey beating the allegations.

If he can actually hit the 3, that is a game changer for his draft prospects.

I imagine individual team workouts will be more important than this display.

Brook Lopez developed that 3 ball and it's basically unguardable.

Whichever organization drafts Edey must allow him to let it fly from deep. Just look at his form at the FT line. The complete opposite of Yakub Purrtl. Edey will absolutely have the 3 ball in his bag.

I'm all aboard the Edey train.

Scottish & Edey.

Bayyybe.

Pels at 17 makes a lot of sense if they think Edey can shoot - and if they keep the pick and depending on what Ingram gets dealt for. They need a centre, could develop Edey for a year if they end up with a veteran, he's obviously a different option than Nance stylistically. And if he can shoot like Brook, that helps Zion a ton. They also have guys like Herb Jones, Murphy and Dyson Daniels to help Edey when he drops and they're chasing shooters from behind after going over on 1/5 pick and rolls.

Zach casually knocking them down. It's different without anyone guarding him. Still, stretch him out on the floor (PAUSE), and open things up near the hoop for the rest of the team.

Methinks Zach ends up in the lottery. Son is going to move up the boards. Seeing how the Wolves have been operating with a pair of 7 footers, might Zach be part of the renaissance of the big man?

Pels don't look like they are staying with YOnas either.

Combine scrimmage are usually a disorganized mess, but at least we get more film on AJ Johnson and Ulirch Chomche. I kind of expect Chomche to have a OMax type of Combine scrimmage if he wants to be in the first round. For Johnson, let's see the athleticism and handle.

The team that stands out is Team Love. It just looks like a team whose IQ will destroy other teams:

Oso Igahdaro
Nique Clifford
Jamal Shead
Payton Sandfort
Harrison Ingram

Team Foreham-Kelly has some of my favorites playing together:
Mogbo
Chomche
Cam Spencer
Djurisic
Jamir Watkins

How does the lottery change your preferred picks?

Are you going nba ready at pick 19 (da silva) or more of a long term project (missi)?

Part of me just wants to see who drops and to snatch them up. Like Houston did with cam Whitmore.

Ware and Missi scare me because Indiana's defence should not have been worse with him at the 5 than an undersized PF like TJD, even though TJD is a solid enough backup 4/5 tweener, and Baylor's defence is always good.

On the other hand, there are definitely sequences where you watch Missi and you see a ton of mobility and potential and he apparently started playing like 3-4 years ago so I won't be surprised if we take him and hope that he can start by the time Poeltl is done here.

Ware has strong Christian Wood vibes. I would imagine teams will go at him pretty hard, NFL style, in interviews and workouts to see if he can mature and can he read film and such.

Missi 38.5 vert is crazy for 6-11

Carrington having a good showing, I had a feeling he'd move up the boards

There are 3 18 yr olds (Carrington, Dadiet, Christie) they need to take a long look at to evaluate their upside. Often these players improve dramatically if they withdraw from draft. Should be available in 19-40 range.

A guy to watch is Nae'qwan Tomlin. He was on that great run from Kansas State with Markquis Nowell two years ago.

He is a 6'8 forward with NBA level athleticism and last season his numbers at Memphis spiked up. He hit nearly 40% from three on low volume.

He only played 21 games with Memphis which was due to disciplinary issues. He was with KState, then let go by the team for a bar fight. Not sure of the details on that, but he is moving up in the draft from Elite to Combine.
