Tja, wenn die Magic nur einen Pick hätten...
Ich habe lieber keinen Pick als Brian Cook... selbst ohne Alston.

A number of people have emailed us in the past few days asking why we keep bringing up the measurements of various players without shoes, since “no one ever plays barefoot” in their words. The simple answer is that not all shoes are made alike, and you can clearly see that manifest itself when players like James Johnson or Tyler Smith only get three quarters of an inch added to their listing with shoes, while others such as Jonny Flynn or Jerel McNeal get an inch and a half. Listing how players were measured without shoes simply puts them all on equal footing (no pun intended) and gives us a more precise way of comparing their heights.
There is a growing sense in NBA circles that Brandon Jennings may be making a mistake by passing up the Reebok Eurocamp in Treviso next week in favor of participating in private NBA workouts. Numerous teams in the lottery have pointed out to us that they do not feel comfortable with the amount of competitive five on five action they’ve seen Jennings partake in, and that they would have a difficult time selecting him based on the body of work he’s put together up until this point.
NBA teams were not allowed to scout Jennings in high school, and many saw their scouting trips to Italy this year come up empty as they only were able to see him play for a few minutes at a time, often at the shooting guard position.
With that in mind, teams like the New York Knicks decided to send out their entire staff to evaluate Jennings in Treviso this upcoming week, with their head coach Mike D’Antoni, General Manager Donnie Nelson, and Director of Player Personnel Misho Ostarcevic all making the trek to Italy, and all bound to be disappointed when they see that Jennings decided to pass on the opportunity to impress them. Jennings may have a difficult time being selected by teams like this solely off what he shows in the three on three portion of their private workout.

Nein, 83,9 kg, also 185 lbs..wie viel drücken die dort? Alle 85 Kilo?
Davon abgesehen ist es erstaunlich, was alles in die Combine-Werte hineininterpretiert wird. Da gilt plötzlich sogar James Harden als guter Athlet, der zuvor angeblich falsch eingeschätzt worden sei. Die Tatsache, dass er im richtigen Spiel längst bewiesen hat, nicht schnell, agil und explosiv zu sein, wird dadurch mit einem Mal vermeintlich unbedeutend.
