    Jared Sullnger is 6'9 in shoes? That is going to be a problem for his stock

    Hopefully that means Moe Harkless's comparables change from Ebanks and Ariza to something a bit more palatable.

    Jared Cunningham will be the steal of this draft, IMO. Probably an early to mid-2nd Rounder.

    Does anyone know who Ford said was impressive in the past. Does he have a good track record?

    I assume it is players who impressed him beyond his original expectations. So those players will likely move up in his next Mock Draft. Take a look at his current Mock for comparison to his tweet above.

    also note that Andre Drummond didn't show. Not all the lotto picks show up. Can anyone list the no shows?

    Seems the lotto pick prospects are there, but not doing the drills. Measurements only, I suppose.

    Shiit, I didn't know the combine was televised or else I would've tuned in. What channel and times is it on? TBH I probably cant get the channel it's on. Is there an internet stream of the combine?

    I knew he was undersized. I was arguing with somebody on these boards about that a couple of weeks ago. I knew he was probably 6'8 tops barefoot...I think we found Morey's man

    Not that good...

    Syracuse guard Dion Waiters canceled all team workouts and interviews at NBA pre-draft camp, source tells Y! Sports. Source believes Waiters has a high draft promise from a team.

    Do the Wolves have a high pick?

    Doubt it. If he does have a guarantee, I'm guessing it came from a lottery team, perhaps a team selecting in the top-10 even. It wouldn't make any sense to cancel all the workouts and interviews just to get picked #18, when you're projected to go somewhere from 8-20 or so anyway.

    He doesn't have a promise. It's a PR move. Pretending to have a promise so teams will pick him higher.

    When's the last time someone pretended to have a promise? I've never heard of that happening before.

    Of course you haven't heard of it. When people pretend to have a promise, they don't tell you they are pretending.

    Also, here's a link to the ESPN video of the combine coverage: http://espn.go.com/watchespn/player/_/source/espn3/id/480436/

    Danial Orton in 2010.
    Reggie Jackson apparently had one in 2011, but I still don't know if he was pretending.
