or is it just measurements and drills again?

[ChrispyParticipant]

Just the combine, no 5 on 5. Boo!! Hiss!!!

[quinceyhodges]

nope..they have a couple of 3 on 3 and 2 on 2. usually the topprospects will only do one on one though. there agent makes sure of the that

[OrangeJuiceJonesParticipant]

That’s so dumb. Why did they take it out in the first place?

[OrangeJuiceJonesParticipant]

And will we ever get to see the Portsmouth Invitational on T.V.?

[quinceyhodges]

i heard they might put it on nba tv.there is a site that shows it but i cant recall which one. around the time that they have it( earlyapril) just google it and im sure youll find it

[WizardofOzParticipant]

Why did they get rid of the pre-draft camp and put in a combine. This isn’t football. U DNT NEED ALL THESE DRILLS TO DETERMINE IF A BASKETBALL PLAYERS GONNA B GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[quinceyhodges]

they have always had the drills and combine.and they still have the predraft camp. they just dont have as manywhich was a good idea because rarely did a potential first round pick play in them

[ChrispyParticipant]

They have always done both the pre-draft camp and the combine. The reason they gave for doing away with the camp was $. That simple. if anyone saw they numbers pertaining to gross losses for the NBA, then you can sort of understand why. All the more reason that morons like Magnum Rolle from LTech and Sims from Michigan need to have their heads checked for rejecting PIT invites.

5 on 5 basketball measures how good you’re basketball skills are… It tests how good you are in the game… That’s the ultimate test… The Draft Combine measures your athleticism, stamina, vertical leap etc but can sometimes be crappy… Won’t believe me? Just try and ask Joe Alexander…

[JNixonParticipant]

Yea I read on Twitter that Sims and Magnum Rolle rejected invitations, and the guy from DraftExpress was going in on them LOL

[quinceyhodges]

youre rightmarcus that would be the best way to measure skills but i will never happen as far as top draft picks being involved is concened. the agents wont let them and the players wont do itand i dont blame them. imagin being considered for a top 3 pick orlotto like alexander then going and playing in the 5 on 5 against potential second round picks and getting killed. then you drop to the second round and lose millions
