Records set a NBA combine

[PineGroveBully]

Texas C Mohamad Bamba sets records with wingspan of 7'10 and a standing reach of 9'7 1/3. I'm guessing Manute didn't go to a combine but my lord that's a large human. I'm 6'5 with a 6'7 wingspan and shopping is tough. Can't imagine what it's been like for him. I'm sure he'll be able to afford a good tailor soon.

Can he dunk? ***

Cool. I can't wait for the Grizzlies to draft him. Hasheem Thabeet part two.

He’ll no, bamba is much more skilled than thabeet ever was.

This is good news for the Grizzlies. Following the Thabeet disaster, I can’t see the Grizz taking a big gamble on a player like this again. Especially with the way that the NBA is moving away from traditional centers.

That said, this kind of news will get some attention, and I think it opens the door for Memphis to either make a trade or grab Bagley at #4. I’m having a really hard time finding a superstar lock in this draft, so I’d like to see Memphis either get great value back their pick or take a player with a high ceiling. I’m not sure that I see that with either Bamba or Ayton to be honest

Not sure how Bamba is considered by anyone to be like Thabeet.
Seriously different style players at 18.

Michael. Porter. Junior.

One is from Tanzania and the other from Harlem...so there's that.

I'd take him over everyone in this draft except Ayton. Not sold on the foreign kid.

Does it not sound alarm bells if hes had back surgery already?

 

[PineGroveBully]

He's leaning towards not coming now anyway. I think he prefers Madrid to Sacramento
