NBA Draft Combine

Last Bleacher Report article has Karaban leading by accuracy in 3 different shooting drills. I think he will work himself up the draft stock. May 29th is the last day for him to pull out if he plans to stay. I get the feeling that won’t be happening.

Which number is correct. Borges' numbers dont add up "The one thing he didn't too terribly well was shoot from distance, hitting a mere 26.7 percent (30-for-75) of his 3-pointers."

30-75 is 40%.

Must be 20-75.

U r correct. According to UConn it was 20/75. BUT he was 15/46 in BE play…nearly 33%. His shooting def improved second half

I think I saw Castle listed at 37"....not sure about the rest (except Clingan, who was like 29" oof)

Clingan's standing reach is 3" from the rim. The dude weighs nearly 300lbs. What kind of leaping abilities do you expect?

Also, those metrics still get him nearly 3 feet above the rim.

Also also, did you not watch him rim protect this year?

The crazy thing about next year is that if we don’t three-peat, we’ll likely return the entire core of Stewart, Solo, Ross, Mahaney, McNeeley, Nowell, Abraham, and Reed Jr. So either we three-peat and lose at least 3 more guys to the NBA, or the 2025-2026 Huskies will be nearly invincible and we’ll win 3 titles in 4 years.

I'm pretty sure McNeeley is one and done no matter what just like Stephon Castle.

Didn't Wilt purportedly have a 46 inch vertical?

There were 5 separate shooting drills. I think the 19-30 was for off the dribble mid-range. 14/25 on spot up 3’s. 10/25 3 point “star drill.” 9/24 side mid-range. 7/10 free throw.

I'm sure that's the hope/expectation, but happens sometimes. However if he's not one and done, that means his season was somehow disappointing or something went wrong. So frankly I want him to be one-and-done.

To me, that reads as “I have more to lose by playing than to gain”

Which seems like someone told him they’ll draft him?

Sounds like he has a handshake deal with a team and doesn't want to risk injuring himself like Topic did.

Right

But when the drills moved onto the Wintrust Arena floor for shooting, the Bristol product showed out. Clingan was tops among the bigs in Shooting off the Dribble, knocking down 19 of 30 3-pointers (63.3 percent). In Spot-Up Shooting, Clingan went 14-for-25 (56 percent), second only to Sarr (60 percent).

Clingan came back to earth a little in the 3-Point Star Drill, hitting 10 of 25 (40 percent) to finish fourth among the bigs behind Edey, Tyler Smith and Sarr. He went just 9-for-24 (37.5 percent) in the timed Side-Mid-Side drill, last of the sixth.

Gotta chuckle at the headline saying that Clingan struggled at agility but shined at shooting.

Ahh, I saw a clip of Edey lumbering his way into off the dribble elbow shots and figured that was the drill.

DC measured in bigger than Gobert and very comparable athletically so I think that bodes extremely well.
