    I do not get ESPN3 access, unfortunately. However, I did watch some of it on RAPTORSTV (which is NBATV), and it was incredibly boring. Honestly, I think so much more is decided about prospects here psychologically and behind closed doors than anything they do at this combine. Sure, measurements and athletic testing can maybe point certain things out, and it was slightly interesting to see how these guys looked shooting the ball, but I think it tells you incredibly little as a scout to watch prospects in this type of scenario, rather than actually working out or playing against each other with more on the line.

    Nonetheless, I always find the combine intriguing and am cool with any observations or info anyone may have. Still, I guess I am cynical into how much anyones stock really improves during the drills they were showing yesterday. I was surprised they made a big deal about Kyrie skipping them, and I am slightly surprised he is skipping athletic testing, but I still feel like he will be the first pick in the draft. I always felt that those projected from the lottery usually did as little as possible at these combines, but I guess they still usually participate in the basic drill sessions, which is what they were all going crazy about Kyrie not doing.

     NIIICE…the packman threw it down with the best of them 4 his height…watching agility drills right now…its funny how the NBA is trying to emulate the NFL combine…NFL combine numbers are much more relevant for NFL prospects than the NBA combine numbers for their prospects…that being said, watching the agility drills you can really see players foot work on how it might translate to the defensive end…KAWHI LEONARD looked really good with his foot work as opposed to JEREME RICMOND who looked BAD…had to re-do the drill even!!!
