Finding Zach Edey’s NBA fit, front office moves and more: Draft Combine notes
CHICAGO — Zach Edey showed off his jump shot at the draft combine this week. But those five are among the league’s best players, including Joel Embiid and Nikola Jokić, showing it’s possible to still play well at that size. Another way to try to add an inch or two, one scout pointed out, might be showing up lighter to the combine, which could help the player jump higher since he’s trying to carry less weight. Teams have a good feel for the standard standing reaches for a player based on their height, and if someone’s reach comes up a little short based on that then the vert might get a little fishy. Bokmeyer had been the general manager of the MLS NEXT, the league’s development program, and worked in international basketball ops for the NBA.
