Combine

[CaribouJim]

The NBA Combine in Chicago is on ESPN2 now.

Question - Henry not participating right or just in the skills stuff - vertical jump, agility drill etc.?

[CaribouJim]

Henry being interviewed now - Bilas says he goes #6. Andy Katz interviewing him now. Henry thinks he can go higher than 6.

When Katz asked him about this past season he mentioned that MU didn't make the NCAA's Henry replied that "we played meaningful games all season long and compared records from last year to this year and thinks MU will be even better this year. Kind a generic interview.

Bentill seems to be impressing from what I can gather.

Seems to be a reasonable chance that both he and whitehead stay in the draft.

Yes, saw Bentil do the sprint and they were speaking very favorably about his performance on Thursday in his scrimmage.

Based on this mock draft, Bentil and Whitehead should both come back for one more year. Didn't see Hayes name either, though I think if he stays he is a 2nd rounder.

Lowest I've seen Diamond Stone too.

This is not a good development for honest feedback:

Many teams have taken the approach of simply telling every player (and their agent) that they like, or even love them, to the point that many prospects have developed an incredibly unrealistic sense of where they actually stand.

Multiple NBA executives told The Vertical that they simply have no choice because dispersing real feedback will ultimately come back to haunt them. “What is the benefit of being honest and realistic about a player's chances, when all an agent will do is hold that against you down the line?” a source said.

That was an interesting read on the process.
