Among Aaron Craft, Zach LaVine and Glenn Robinson III, only LaVine made the Big Board.
해마다 치러지는 NBA 드래프트 컴바인이 이제 종료 됐다. 이틀 동안 진행된 드릴들, 운동 능력 점검, 신체 측정, 면접 그리고 의료 검진을 통해 NBA 팀들은 유망주들을 면밀히 관찰했다. 또한 우리도 이 기회를 통해 시카고에 온 다수의 NBA 제네럴 매니져들 및 스카우트들과 대화를 나누며 유망주들이 어떤 평가를 받았는지에 대한 더 구체적인 느낌을 알 수 있었다.
우리는 여기를 통해서 선수들이 드릴들에서 어떤 모습이었는지, 신체 측정에서는 어땠는지는 여기에서, 그리고 버티컬 점프와 횡측 퀵니스와 스피드 드릴에서는 어떤 결과를 냈는지 여기에서 다뤘었다.
그런데 저런 모든 것들이 이들의 드래프트 주가에 얼마나 영향을 미칠까? 흠, 자 그래서 여기 우리의 열 번째 2014 NBA 드래프트 Big Board를 올릴 때가 됐다.

The annual NBA draft combine is in the books. NBA teams got to take a close look at prospects during two days of drills, athletic testing, measurements, interviews and medical exams. It also gave us a chance to talk to numerous NBA general managers and scouts at the event in Chicago to get a better feel for how they were being evaluated.
We've covered how players looked in drills here, how they measured out here, and how they tested athletically in the vertical jump, lateral quickness and speed drills here.
But how does all of that affect their draft stock? Well, it's time for our 10th Big Board of the 2014 NBA draft.
1Andrew WigginsCOLLEGE: KansasHT: 6-8WT: 200POS: SG
2013-14 STATSPPG 17.1RPG 5.9APG 1.5
Wiggins didn't even travel to Chicago, let alone participate in the combine. There was no reason given for his absence, other than both Jabari Parker and Joel Embiid also were skipping the event. But that didn't stop Wiggins from having a major impact. Peak Performance Project, the group that is training Wiggins, tweeted an iconic picture of him during his vertical jump. His agent, Bill Duffy, later told me that Wiggins jumped 44 inches in that photo -- good enough to top everyone at the combine. It's no surprise that Wiggins can jump out of the gym, but the photo was more evidence that he's the best athlete in this draft.
2Joel EmbiidCOLLEGE: KansasHT: 7-0WT: 250POS: C
2013-14 STATSPPG 11.2RPG 8.1BPG 2.6
NBA general managers were especially disappointed that Embiid didn't show. There are major questions about his back, and teams were hoping they would be cleared up in the medical tests. The impact of Embiid's absence could be profound. Without those tests, most NBA GMs would be very wary of drafting him. Did he skip the combine because his back is still ailing? Or was this a power move by his agent to control which team drafts him? I suspect it's the latter. But until something leaks, we are left in the dark about Embiid's back, and thus his draft status.
3Jabari ParkerCOLLEGE: DukeHT: 6-8WT: 241POS: SF
2013-14 STATSPPG 19.1RPG 8.7APG 1.2
There was no definitive answer why Parker didn't attend, though several sources in the Chicago area told me Parker was in less than ideal shape for the combine. Many GMs and scouts heard the same thing. Parker's group disputes that, but that was the refrain running through the gym, which doesn't exactly help Parker's cause in his quest to be the No. 1 overall pick. Of the three players who skipped the event, Parker was the only one whose draft stock appears to be dinged.
4Dante ExumCOLLEGE: AustraliaHT: 6-6WT: 196POS: PG
2013-14 STATSPPG 6.4 RPG 2.7BPG 1.0
Exum's first public appearance in the U.S. since the Nike Hoop Summit last year drew a lot of buzz. Exum did not participate in the drills portion of the event, but he did go through the athletic testing, interviews and medicals. Exum tested well in the athletic portion. While his vertical jump was middle of the road, he measured as one of the fastest and quickest athletes there. Given his measurements (6-foot-6 with a 6-10 wingspan), that's going to help his cause. He was also a hit in interviews, with a number of GMs raving about his maturity. Workouts will ultimately decide where he goes, but I still believe that several teams, including the Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic, will consider him with the No. 1 pick.
5Noah VonlehCOLLEGE: IndianaHT: 6-10WT: 247POS: PF
2013-14 STATSPPG 11.3RPG 9BPG 1.4
No one helped his draft stock this week more than Vonleh. He did not participate in the drills, but his measurements (6-9½ in shoes, with a crazy 7-4½ wingspan, a 9-foot standing reach and the largest hands in the draft) combined with excellent athletic testing numbers (he had a 37-inch maximum vertical) gave Vonleh the edge physically over the two players he's competing with (Julius Randle and Aaron Gordon). Combine that with his ability to shoot, rebound and block shots, and I think Vonleh might end up beating both of them as the first power forward taken in the draft.
6Julius RandleCOLLEGE: KentuckyHT: 6-9WT: 234POS: PF
2013-14 STATSPPG 15RPG 10.4BPG .8
Randle continues to be in that three-way scrum with Vonleh and Gordon. He, too, skipped the drills portion of the camp. His measurements were solid, (6-9 in shoes with a 7-foot wingspan and 8-9½ standing reach), easing some concerns that he was undersized for his position. He also tested well athletically, scoring a 35½-inch vertical and identical scores to Vonleh on the three-quarter court spring and lane agility drills. If teams prefer a bruiser who loves contact in the paint, Randle will go ahead of Vonleh. But the overall metrics lean in Vonleh's favor right now.
7Aaron GordonCOLLEGE: ArizonaHT: 6-9WT: 220POS: PF
2013-14 STATSPPG 12.4RPG 8BPG 1
Gordon wowed scouts with his athletic testing numbers. It's no surprise that he is one of the elite athletes in the draft, yet his numbers still impressed. Not only was his 39-inch vertical the third-highest ever for a player his size, but he bested every player in the draft in his shuttle drill. He also measured decently, nearly 6-9 in shoes, with a 6-11 wingspan and an 8-9 standing reach. He's essentially a half-inch shorter than Randle, but he's much more explosive. Gordon also drew raves in the interview portion. The big question is where he'll get his offense from, and unfortunately, he missed a chance in the drills to show scouts he's better than he's being given credit for.
8Marcus SmartCOLLEGE: Oklahoma StateHT: 6-3WT: 227POS: PG
2013-14 STATSPPG 18RPG 5.9APG 4.8
Smart was another player who helped himself with strong measurements and athletic testing. While he measured slightly shorter than he was listed (6-3 instead of 6-4), he had a crazy 6-9 wingspan and measured with a strong 36-inch vertical and a very good 10.82 second lane agility score. For someone who weighed in at 227 pounds, those are great numbers. Smart's interviews were a mixed bag, however. While teams love the passion he brings to the table, they believe his explanation of what happened earlier this past season, when he lost his temper on several occasions, was vague. Look for him to be matched up in lots of workouts with Tyler Ennis, Zach LaVine, Nik Stauskas and Gary Harris.
9Dario SaricCOLLEGE: CroatiaHT: 6-10WT: 223POS: PF
2013-14 STATSPPG 6.4 RPG 2.7BPG 1.0
Saric's play at the Adriatic Final Four put an exclamation point on a terrific season. He not only led his team to the Adriatic League championship, he was named MVP, averaging 22 PPG, 13 RPG and 6.5 APG while shooting a red-hot 8-for-16 from beyond the arc. There's no question he's an elite talent. The bigger issue is whether he's actually going to go to the NBA this year. His father wants him to stay in Europe at least one more season, possibly two. Saric's agents would like him to go now, as many of the teams in the lottery are more interested if he's available this season. If he can get a promise from a team in the top 10, he'll likely stay in the draft.
10Gary HarrisCOLLEGE: Michigan StateHT: 6-5WT: 205POS: SG
2013-14 STATSPPG 16.7RPG 4APG 2.7
Harris has a mild groin strain and missed both the drills and athletic testing. He measured 6-4½ in shoes, essentially what he was listed at Michigan State, and had a 6-7 wingspan. Those are a tad undersized for his position, but many scouts believe Harris has the potential to play point in the pros.
11Nik StauskasCOLLEGE: MichiganHT: 6-7WT: 207POS: SG
2013-14 STATSPPG 17.5RPG 2.9APG 3.3
Stauskas didn't participate in the drills, but I'm not sure he really needed to. Everyone knows he's one of the elite shooters in the draft. He tested better than expected in the athletic portion, knocking off a good 35½ -inch vertical and an even better 10.79 score in the lane agility drills. He also measured at 6-6½ in shoes, which makes him one of the bigger 2-guards in the draft. The big question for him is: Can he prove to scouts that he can be a playmaker as well as a shooter? He and Harris are on the same mission here. If he can, Stauskas could crack the top 10.
12Zach LaVineCOLLEGE: UCLAHT: 6-6WT: 181POS: PG
2013-14 STATSPPG 9.4RPG 2.5APG 1.8
Among guards, LaVine might have helped himself more than anyone. He was the highest-ranked player to participate in the drills, and he looked great with the point guards. He shot the ball well in drills and looked a step ahead of every other guard in both size and athletic ability. He ended up measuring nearly 6-6 in shoes, with a 6-8 wingspan. He also tested as possibly the best athlete in the draft with a 41½-inch maximum vertical and terrific scores in both the sprint, shuttle, and lane agility drills. He cracked the top 5 in every category. He's raw, but more and more scouts believe he's the one guy outside the top 10 who has the chance to be a superstar down the road.
13Doug McDermottCOLLEGE: CreightonHT: 6-8WT: 218POS: SF
2013-14 STATSPPG 26.7RPG 7APG 1.6
McDermott's biggest achievement might have been graduating from Creighton on Saturday. But he did all right for himself at the combine as well. His measurements were just about what we expected (6-8 in shoes with a 6-9 wingspan) but his athletic testing numbers surprised everyone -- especially that 36½-inch vertical and very solid lane agility numbers. McDermott is trying to sell himself as a small forward to NBA teams, and given his measurements, he might have to. Those athletic numbers will go a long way to show he has the quickness and pop to guard that position.
14Tyler EnnisCOLLEGE: SyracuseHT: 6-3WT: 182POS: PG
2013-14 STATSPPG 12.9RPG 3.4APG 5.5
Ennis didn't participate in drills, but fared well otherwise at the combine. He's just average size for a point guard at 6-2½ in shoes. But his 6-7 wingspan helps make up for that. And after getting knocked in college for being an average -- at best -- athlete, Ennis posted very good athletic numbers at the combine. He ended with a 36-inch vertical and an impressive 2.84 second shuttle run. He also was among the most impressive in interviews, according to teams. Don't read too much into his small dip on our Big Board. That has more to do with huge weeks for Stauskas, LaVine and McDermott than anything Ennis did wrong. He'll be in the mix for picks Nos. 7 through 14.
15James YoungCOLLEGE: KentuckyHT: 6-8WT: 213POS: SF
2013-14 STATSPPG 14.3RPG 4.3APG 1.7
Young didn't participate in basketball drills, either, and had limited participation in the athletic drills thanks to a small groin strain suffered while doing the vertical jump testing. He measured with a good 36-inch vertical and impressed in his measurements with a nearly 7-foot wingspan.
16Adreian PayneCOLLEGE: Michigan StateHT: 6-10WT: 239POS: PF
2013-14 STATSPPG 16.4RPG 7.3BPG .9
Payne sat out the combine after discovering he has been dealing with mononucleosis. I'm not sure he had to. I saw him working out two days before in Chicago and was really impressed. Payne has been battling mono, undiagnosed, since January, making his senior season even more impressive. He's about another week away from being able to do team workouts. His measurements, 6-9½ in shoes with a 7-4 wingspan, continue to make him one of the most intriguing prospects in the draft.
17Elfrid PaytonCOLLEGE: Louisiana LafayetteHT: 6-4WT: 185POS: PG
2013-14 STATSPPG 19.2RPG 6APG 5.9
Payton surprised people by refusing to participate in the drills. Given his limited exposure, some GMs were grumbling about the decision. But they shouldn't. As his stock continues to rise, sources say some teams in the mid-first round were pushing for him not to do the drills. They'd prefer he remain a secret. His measurements and athletic testing numbers were both above average for his position. He also drew raves in his interviews. I believe Payton is the true sleeper in this draft and is being underrated by scouts. Once he gets into workouts, he will work his way into the lottery.
18P.J. HairstonCOLLEGE: North CarolinaHT: 6-5WT: 229POS: SG
2013-14 STATSPPG 21.8RPG 3.5APG 0.8
Hairston was the second-highest rated prospect to participate in the drills portion. It didn't particularly help him. He shot just OK and didn't seem to be going full speed most of the time (a big no-no among GMs). However, I'm told he aced his interviews. That was huge for him. He was inundated with questions about his off-court problems, and multiple GMs said he handled them openly, honestly and humbly, in ways that gave them hope that his troubles were behind him. "I think the trouble he got into and the stint in the D-League were a real eye-opener for him," one GM said. "He stayed out of trouble in the D-League, and I think he's learned his lesson."
19Rodney HoodCOLLEGE: DukeHT: 6-9WT: 208POS: SG
2013-14 STATSPPG 16.1RPG 3.9APG 2.1
Hood had a good showing at the combine. He shot the ball well and put up solid athletic testing numbers. He measured as one of the tallest wings in the draft, though his wingspan wasn't anything to write home about. The question for him is -- how much of his good showing was due to all of his competition sitting this one out?
20Jusuf NurkicCOLLEGE: BosniaHT: 6-11WT: 280POS: C
2013-14 STATSPPG 6.4 RPG 2.7BPG 1.0
Nurkic wasn't at the combine, though I bet he wishes he was. The group of bigs the NBA put on the floor was pretty poor (notice only one other big is left on this list who played in Chicago). Nurkic clearly has the size and skill level to be an NBA player. The question is how many teams are willing to invest in someone who lacks real athleticism for his position? There was a time in the NBA when that mattered less for bigs. But not anymore. Teams prefer mobile bigs if they can get them. Still, with such a dearth of centers out there, Nurkic could go considerably higher than this.
21Jerami GrantCOLLEGE: SyracuseHT: 6-8WT: 214POS: SF
2013-14 STATSPPG 12.1RPG 6.8APG 1.4
Grant went out there and did what he does best -- look athletic and crazy-long, and he ran his butt off. He also shot the ball fairly well, averaging 50 percent from 3. The two big things for Grant were his measurements (a 7-2½ wingspan and 8-11 standing reach, both of which gave him credibility as a power forward) and his interviews. A number of teams came away deeply impressed with his basketball IQ and knowledge of the game. He didn't do athletic testing because of a late injury, but no one needs to see the numbers to know he's a freak athlete.
22Cleanthony EarlyCOLLEGE: Wichita StateHT: 6-7WT: 210POS: SF
2013-14 STATSPPG 16.4RPG 5.9APG .8
Early's rise in the NCAA tournament continued with a very good showing in Chicago. He measured 6-7½ in shoes with a nearly 6-11 wingspan. He also wowed scouts with a very impressive 40-inch vertical -- an inch higher than Aaron Gordon. His lateral quickness numbers also were impressive for his size, easing concerns about his ability to defend wings in the NBA.
23Shabazz NapierCOLLEGE: ConnecticutHT: 6-1WT: 175POS: PG
2013-14 STATSPPG 18RPG 5.9APG 4.9
Like Early, Napier capitalized on his magical performance in the NCAA tournament in two ways: Scouts didn't even bat an eye when he skipped the drills portion. Then he went out and tested impressively with a 37½-inch vertical. That might have been the single most surprising athletic test of the camp. Napier didn't measure well, just a hair over 6-feet in shoes with a 6-3 wingspan, but for teams looking for a quick guard who can knock down shots, there is a lot of appeal.
24K.J. McDanielsCOLLEGE: ClemsonHT: 6-6WT: 195POS: SF
2013-14 STATSPPG 17.1RPG 7.1APG 1.6
I thought McDaniels would have killed it here. He is such a great athlete and has a great motor. But scouts say he didn't stand out in the drills (he shot just 8-for-25 from 3), and though some of his athletic testing numbers were very good (37-inch max vertical and a camp-leading 3.16 second sprint), he tested dead last in lateral quickness. Frankly, most teams expected McDaniel to have a 40-inch-plus vertical. At barely 6-6 in shoes, he's a bit undersized for his position at the 3, though his 6-11 wingspan makes up for some of that.
25T.J. WarrenCOLLEGE: NC StateHT: 6-8WT: 220POS: SF
2013-14 STATSPPG 24.9RPG 7.1APG 1.1
Warren was the lowest-ranked prospect to skip the drills. Given the concerns about his jump shot, maybe it was a good idea. But there was some positive momentum here. First, Warren measured a bit taller than expected at 6-8¼ in shoes with a 6-10½ wingspan and an 8-8 standing reach. He also tested well athletically, with a 35½-inch vertical and good scores in both the sprint and lateral quickness tests. He's one of the three most lethal scorers in the draft, and those scores might help convince teams he can make the transition to a full-time 3 in the pros.
26Clint CapelaCOLLEGE: SwitzerlandHT: 6-11WT: 222POS: PF
2013-14 STATSPPG 6.4 RPG 2.7BPG 1.0
Capela's struggles at the Nike Hoop Summit practices and game continue to haunt him. Alas, he might have been able to help himself had he attended the combine. The good news? The group of bigs in the camp generally looked so mediocre that Capela might get in just based on a lack of viable alternatives.
27Kristaps PorzingisCOLLEGE: LatviaHT: 6-11WT: 220POS: PF
2013-14 STATSPPG 6.4 RPG 2.7BPG 1.0
No one really expects to see Porzingis keep his name in the draft. He could be a lottery pick next year if he stays in Europe. However, if he decides to remain in the draft, he'll go somewhere in the first round. He's the perfect type of draft-and-stash candidate with big upside.
28Kyle AndersonCOLLEGE: UCLAHT: 6-9WT: 230POS: PF
2013-14 STATSPPG 14.6RPG 8.8BPG .8
Anderson had an ankle injury that kept him out of the camp. That's too bad, as he was one of the players teams really wanted to see. They wanted to see how he moved with the other small forwards, and they wanted to get a closer look at his athletic testing numbers. Needless to say, he continues to remain a bit of a mystery, and perhaps the most polarizing player in the draft.
29Jarnell StokesCOLLEGE: TennesseeHT: 6-9WT: 262POS: PF
2013-14 STATSPPG 15.1RPG 10.6BPG .9
Stokes showed well in the camp. He had lost a little weight, shot the ball well from 15 feet and tested a little bigger than expected (6-8½ in shoes, with a 7-1¼ wingspan). He showed that he can be explosive, measuring an impressive 36-inch vertical. His lateral quickness numbers were poor, however. Not everyone loves Stokes, but there are enough teams that do who pick in the 20s that I think he cracks the first round.
30C.J. WilcoxCOLLEGE: WashingtonHT: 6-5WT: 200POS: SG
2013-14 STATSPPG 18.3RPG 3.7APG 2.5
Wilcox proved to be one of the top shooters at the combine, going 40-for-50 from the college and NBA 3-point distances during drills. He also measured well at 6-5 in shoes, with a nearly 6-10 wingspan. His 37½-inch vertical topped off a really successful camp for him. If he were two or three years younger, he'd be much higher on the list.
