Team 1

Anthony Barber, NC State

Game 1: 22 minutes, 13 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3PT, 3-4 FT), six assists, three rebounds
Game 2: Did not play

Cat BarberCat BarberAlthough he sat out the second game due to injury, the junior point guard was solid in the opener as he was able to get in the paint and make plays as a scorer or distributor. With solid size at nearly 6-foot-3, Anthony "Cat" Barber also has the benefit of owning a 6'5.5" wingspan that will help him on the defensive end.

A potential late first, early second-round pick, Barber signed with an agent and opted to leave school, in-part, to help take care of his family, so he's committed to staying through the process and trying to work his way up draft boards. Barber will have to show that he can be a consistent three-point shooter and adequate floor leader who limits turnovers, but he does have tools to work with and had a huge season in the ACC.

Patrick McCaw, UNLV
Game 1: 19 minutes, eight points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3PT, 4-6 FT), four steals, one rebound
Game 2: 17 minutes, 14 points (5-9 FG, 1-4 3PT, 3-3 FT), four assists, three rebounds, two steals

After flashes of strong play during his sophomore season at UNLV, the 6'7" guard is an intriguing long-term prospect because he can defend multiple spots on the floor and is a solid athlete.

Still a little bit raw on the offensive end, McCaw can hover between a few spots on that side of the ball, but he really shined defensively in Chicago. With a 6'10" wingspan, McCaw was able to collect six steals among two games and was also very good contesting shots and staying with smaller players. McCaw moves well laterally, so he can switch on the perimeter and stick some smaller and quicker guards and give them problems with his length.

His perimeter jumper is still a work in progress, but McCaw has the kind of tools and upside to be an intriguing late first-round or early second-round pick.

Caleb Swanigan, Purdue

Game 1: 15 minutes, five points (2-4 FG, 0-0 3PT, 1-3 FT), five rebounds, one block
Game 2: 26 minutes, four points (1-3 FG, 0-0 3PT, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists

It wasn't the best combine for the Purdue freshman big man, as Swanigan was dealing with a calf injury and only at about 85 percent. Since he's had to focus on therapy and not working out, Swanigan didn't play as many minutes on the opening day, but got a little more settled in on day two.

Rebounding is Swanigan's calling card, as he did an okay job of cleaning up his area on the glass. But offensively, Swanigan wasn't very assertive, as he looked like he had some issues with length and athleticism against opposing bigs.

Given the injury, his current skill level and Purdue likely being a top-25 team next year, Swanigan might be wise to look at returning for his sophomore season. He would still play with a good Purdue front court in practice every day and have a chance to grow his game.

Jaron Blossomgame, Clemson

Game 1: 31 minutes, 11 points (3-5 FG, 1-1 3PT, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, one steal
Game 2: 21 minutes, 16 points (5-6 FG, 3-3 3PT, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds

The redshirt junior wing showed some promising developments to his game in Chicago, including a workable perimeter jumper. By knocking down three-pointers at a decent clip, Blossomgame showed that he might be capable of extending his range to consistently knocks down shots.

Measuring in at 6-foot-7 with a 6'10" wingspan, Blossomgame also contributed on the glass in both games and defended multiple positions on the floor. With the way he played at the combine, and already being 22 years old, Blossomgame might opt to stay in the draft if he can make an NBA roster next season. With the way he was able to hit some shots and defend multiple positions, Blossomgame looks like a potential second-round pick with some room to grow.

Robert Carter Jr., Maryland

Game 1: 26 minutes, 22 points (8-15 FG, 2-3 3PT, 4-8 FT), seven rebounds, four steals
Game 2: 19 minutes, 13 points (5-9 FG, 0-2 3PT, 3-3 FT), six rebounds

One of the pleasant surprises of the combine was the play of the Maryland junior big man, as he showed some unexpected deep range to go along with some solid work all over the floor. Coming in at 6'9", 251 pounds, Carter is intriguing at the next level if he can stretch the floor and still play a bit on the interior.

With a 7'3.25" wingspan, Carter can guard a couple of bigger players on the interior with his good length and he should solidly be in the second-round picture after the way he played in Chicago.

Joel Bolomboy, Weber State

Game 1: 18 minutes, five points (2-3 FG, 0-0 3PT, 1-2 FT), one steal
Game 2: 25 minutes, 10 points (4-5 FG, 0-0 3PT, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists

It took the Weber State product a day to feel comfortable, but he had an outstanding second game with a near double-double as he rebounded well in his area.

It's going to take an adjustment period for Bolomboy to play against the top competition in the world, but he has the raw skills as a rebounder to contribute as a role guy off the bench. Offensively, Bolomboy was better than expected as he showed some intriguing touch as a shooter (with a slight hitch in his jumper) and also had some finishes off of pick-and-rolls.

Bolomboy is raw and played in a small league, but he has a calling card skill and could attract second-round attention as an energy big.

AJ English, Iona

Game 1: 21 minutes, 22 points (7-10 FG, 3-5 3PT, 5-5 FT), four assists, three rebounds
Game 2: 27 minutes, nine points (3-8 FG, 1-2 2PT, 2-3 FT), six assists

Producing at a decent clip during the combine was the senior from Iona as he showed why he was one of college basketball's most lethal scorers this past season.

English was very good scoring the ball on the first day and he also mixed in some good assist numbers in both contests as well. With a 6'10" wingspan to go with his 6'3" frame, English measured with good length and could be a defender with room to grow at the next level.

It remains to be seen if a team wants to take a second-round chance on English, but he didn't hurt himself at all with his play.

Dorian Finney Smith, Florida

Game 1: 22 minutes, two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3PT, 0-0 FT), six rebounds, three steals, two assists.
Game 2: 31 minutes, 16 points (5-12 FG, 1-2 3PT, 5-7 FT), three assists, two steals, two blocks

The 23-year-old senior wing from Florida was inconsistent as a scorer, but he did a nice job of filling up the stat sheet in both outings at the combine after a solid showing at Portsmouth.

Finney-Smith could get some second-round buzz for a team looking for a jack-of-all trades wing who can defend a couple of positions, but he has to make sure that his perimeter jumper is consistent in order to earn early minutes.

With a nearly 7-foot wingspan on the wing, Finney-Smith could become a tough defender on the wing at the next level.

Sheldon McClellan, Miami

Game 1: 21 minutes, eight points (3-5 FG, 1-1 3PT, 1-2 FT), two rebounds
Game 2: 31 minutes, 22 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3PT, 9-12 FT), three assists, two rebounds

After a solid senior season at Florida, McCllelan made the most of his second day of the combine, as he took advantage of Cat Barber's absence to score 22 points on an array of different moves.

A solid perimeter shooter, McClellan also showed that he can get off some shots from the mid-range and get to the charity stripe as well, as his aggressive play got him 12 trips there in the second game.

McClellan has an outside chance of being drafted, but he has to continue to shoot the ball at a high level and show that he can defend wings at the next level.

Team 2

Khalil Felder, Oakland

Game 1: 23 minutes, 11 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3PT, 3-3 FT), four assists, four steals
Game 2: 23 minutes, 12 points (6-11 FG, 0-2 3PT, 0-2 FT), three assists, two steals

The small point guard from Oakland proved that he can play with the big boys at the combine as he operated pick-and-rolls, got in the paint frequently and also showed that he was a willing perimeter defender.

Even though he only stands 5'9.5" in shoes, "Kay" makes up for that with good burst and a strong vertical leap that helps him elevate higher than his limited height might suggest.

Defensively, Felder showed a lot more intensity than he did during the season, possibly because he didn't have to carry his team's offense. He did a nice job sticking on ball handlers and weaving through traffic off the ball to not get caught up in screens.

Georges Niang, Iowa State
Game 1: 20 minutes, 20 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 3PT, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists
Game 2: 23 minutes, 10 points (4-11 FG, 0-2 3PT, 2-2 FT), five rebounds

Much like he did at Iowa State, Niang showed a penchant for scoring in unique ways as he put up double-figures in both games.

Doing that against potential second-round picks is one thing, but it will remain to be seen how Niang looks playing against elite athletes that can match his skill level. Although he hit a three-pointer, Niang didn't take too many perimeter shots, but you also have to give him credit for not playing too much outside of his comfort zone.

It's hard to see Niang getting drafted because of his limited mobility and athleticism, but he's skilled enough to carve out a career elsewhere for many, many years.

Nigel Hayes, Wisconsin
Game 1: 21 minutes, two points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3PT, 2-2 FT), three assists
Game 2: 18 minutes, two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3PT, 0-0 FT), one rebound, one assist

Playing extremely passively at the combine was the Wisconsin junior forward, as he only took five field goal attempts during two games and didn't do much else on the stat sheet.

Hayes is certainly skilled and he's shown up to play in some big games the last few years, but his shot selection also needs to greatly improve and he has to be more consistent shooting the ball in general.

Wisconsin returns all five starters from a Sweet 16 team if Hayes comes back, so he does have a good situation to return to if he goes back to school.

Michael Gbinije, Syracuse
Game 1: 28 minutes, 13 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3PT, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, three steals, two assists
Game 2: 27 minutes, 17 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3PT, 1-2 FT), four assists, four steals, two rebounds

Looking like a potential second-round pick in Chicago was the Syracuse senior, as the 6'7" wing showed off skills in all sorts of ways during his two combine games.

Gbinije was used in all sorts of unique situations in Syracuse's offense this past season and he was decent shooting the ball from the perimeter at the combine, making 4-for-8 from three-point range. A decent athlete with good size for the position, Gbinije can initiate some high ball screens as a ball handler and he has a decent feel for how to operate in those settings.

His upside is limited since he's almost 24 and spent five years in school, but Gbinije has been productive during both his senior year and the combine, so he could get a shot to make a team.

Cheick Diallo, Kansas
Game 1: 22 minutes, 18 points (7-10 FG, 0-0 3PT, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, four blocks
Game 2: 22 minutes, nine points (4-8 FG, 0-0 3PT, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, two blocks

Cheick DialloCheick DialloHelping himself as much as anyone in the camp was Diallo, who only totaled slightly above 200 minutes during his freshman season at Kansas.

Playing with a lot of activity, Diallo hustled up-and-down the floor and looked good in the combine's up-and-down setting, much like he did last spring on the high school all-star game circuit.

Diallo is going to have to add strength to his 219-pound frame, but his 7'4.5" wingspan helps him defend the rim and rebound at rim level. Offensively, Diallo is still a ways to go, as he doesn't have a go-to move and is at his best making energy plays, but he plays with enough of a motor that he can be a productive big.

Workouts will dictate a lot for Diallo the next few weeks, but he played like a potential late first-round pick at the combine.

Daniel Hamilton, UConn
Game 1: 24 minutes, 2 points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3PT, 0-0 FT), four rebounds, two assists
Game 2: 20 minutes, 11 points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3PT, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist

It wasn't a great combine for Hamilton, who was better on the second day after a bad first day. The UConn product measured very poorly in athletic testing -- especially the vertical leap components -- and he looked lost on the first day of the combine.

The second day, Hamilton had some stretches of stronger play, as he pulled down a double-double and also had some hockey assists while attacking via the drive. But with his poor athletic testing and inconsistent jumper, it's hard to see Hamilton getting drafted much earlier than the end of the 2nd round at this point.

Gary Payton II, Oregon State
Game 1: 23 minutes, eight points (4-6 FG, 0-0 3PT, 0-0 FT), four assists, one steal
Game 2: 23 minutes, six points (3-11 FG, 0-3 3PT, 0-0 FT), six rebounds, four assists, two steals

The son of the Glove, Gary Payton II had some spurts of solid play at the combine after a very good college career.

Finding his scoring touch and perimeter shooting stroke was difficult, but Payton stayed busy in other facets of the game as he did a nice job distributing in both games while also defending on the perimeter.

Payton also registered the lowest body fat percentage of any player at the combine, so he's in peak physical condition as he's one of the most NBA-ready potential second-round picks. At 6'3" with a 6'8" wingspan, Payton has good measurables, is a plus athlete and a plus defender, so he should get plenty of attention for a spot in round two.

Kyle Wiltjer, Gonzaga
Game 1: 21 minutes, 17 points (6-12 FG, 3-8 3PT, 2-2 FT), six rebounds
Game 2: 23 minutes, 14 points (5-15 FG, 4-10 3PT, 0-0 FT), four rebounds, four steals

The former McDonald's All-American showed that he can space the floor as a forward, but he still has a very tough time creating space for his jumper while also being a poor athlete for this kind of setting.

Registering the highest body-fat percentage at the combine at 15.3 percent, Wiltjer doesn't move well laterally and doesn't get much lift. Almost all of his offense is catch-and-shoot scenarios because Wiltjer has a tough time creating space once he tries to put it on the floor.

He'll still have value to teams looking for a floor-spacing big, but Wiltjer is likely headed to Europe or the D League, because he doesn't possess the athleticism to be able to defend or create clean looks at the NBA level.

Marcus Lee, Kentucky
Game 1: 16 minutes, two points (1-3 FG, 0-0 3PT, 0-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists
Game 2: 18 minutes, two points (0-3 FG, 0-0 3PT, 2-4 FT), one rebound, one block

One of the most disappointing players at the combine was the Kentucky junior big man. Lee barely made a blip in game action as he had minimal stat lines and just didn't seem like he belonged in a lot of cases.

Also coming in with disappointing athletic testing and a low playing weight, Lee looks like he's worlds away -- especially offensively -- from competing at the NBA level. Another year at Kentucky might not do Lee much good since Bam Adebayo and Wenyen Gabriel are coming in, so he might be best served to spend some time developing in the D League instead so he can start adjusting to the pro game.

day two

NBA Draft Combine Report Part 2
By Scott_Phillips
Mon, 05/23/2016 - 5:04pm

Team 3

Isaiah Miles, Saint Joseph's
Game 1: 20 minutes, six points (2-8 FG, 0-1 3PT, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist
Game 2: 18 minutes, 21 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 3PT, 8-8 FT), six rebounds, two assists

During the first day of action, Miles was trying to find his place within the flow of the game, and he showed some decent production, but a 2-for-8 start was not ideal. On the second day, Miles put everything together for a very good 21-point performance in which he was 6-for-10 from the floor and 8-for-8 from the free-throw line.

But it remains to be seen if Miles is a future NBA player. He measured on the small side for a forward at 6'7.25" and he doesn't have a great perimeter jumper to help him space the floor. Because of his lack of size and athleticism, Miles likely won't be drafted, but he's been productive enough in college and in this setting where he certainly deserves a look at some other levels to see if he can increase his skill level as a shooter.

Troy Williams, Indiana
Game 1: 20 minutes, 10 points (4-14 FG, 2-3 3PT, 0-1 FT), five rebounds
Game 2: 18 minutes, seven points (3-5 FG, 1-1 3PT, 0-0 FT), three rebounds

It wasn't a strong showing from the Indiana junior forward as Williams looked wild throughout the whole combine. Williams is an athletic wing who has a lot of positive traits that NBA teams look for out of a wing, but his skill level is still lacking a little bit -- he struggles to use his left at times -- and his decision-making leaves a lot to be desired. Too many times, Williams gets a full head of steam and just has no clue what to do next.

Should he return for another year at Indiana, Williams has a chance to be a senior on a potential top-15 team, which could help him develop more for the next draft. If he does decide to stay in the draft, Williams could potentially get taken in the second round to a team that sees the positives and wants to develop him.

Chinanu Onuaku, Louisville
Game 1: 21 minutes, 11 points (4-6 FG, 0-0 3PT, 2-5 FT), seven rebounds, two assists
Game 2: 21 minutes, 10 points (5-7 FG, 0-0 3PT, 0-0 FT), three rebounds, three blocks, three steals

A solid combine from the Louisville sophomore big man showed that he'll have a chance to be a rotation big man in the NBA some day. At the combine, Onuaku showed that he can rebound, defend the rim, rotate on help defense and also displayed some okay touch around the basket.

Some teams are going to be concerned about Onuaku's heart procedure that he recently had, but there is no doubt that given his young age for his grade (he's still only 19) and ability to play on the interior that Onuaku stands a chance to be a second-round pick.

Ron Baker, Wichita State
Game 1: 21 minutes, eight points (3-5 FG, 0-2 3PT, 2-3 FT), four steals, two assists
Game 2: 21 minutes, 11 points (3-10 FG, 2-4 3PT, 3-3 FT), three rebounds

This probably wasn't the right setting for Baker to showcase his abilities, but he still remained productive in both games despite some mediocre shooting in the second contest.

The good news is that Baker measured in with a 6'9.75 wingspan, so he should be able to defend multiple guard spots at the NBA level, especially after playing for a tough, defensive-minded college coach like Gregg Marshall at Wichita State.

Baker could potentially get taken in the second round and some teams appear to be high on him to potentially make a roster if he's able to find the right fit. Perimeter shooting in workouts could be a big key to where Baker finds himself playing next season.

Melo Trimble, Maryland
Game 1: 21 minutes, five points (2-8 FG, 1-2 3PT,0-0 FT), two assists
Game 2: 18 minutes, 10 points (4-10 FG, 1-4 3PT, 1-2 FT), four assists, three rebounds

It was not a very good combine for Trimble, as he measured poorly with a 6-foot-2 wingspan and also didn't perform very well in combine games. Shooting poorly from the perimeter and not defending very well is not a good recipe to get drafted, but Trimble is in the tough position of potentially returning to a Maryland team in which he would be the only returning starter.

Trimble would be best served returning to school, as he can show that he's an improved floor leader with a steady jumper. It's hard to say if Trimble has the athleticism to be a good defender, but he has to get in better shape if he hopes to have a chance in that category.

Dedric Lawson, Memphis
Game 1: 19 minutes, five points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3PT, 3-3 FT), six rebounds
Game 2: 18 minutes, five points (2-5 FG, 0-0 3PT, 1-1 FT), two assists

Struggling mightily at the combine was the Memphis forward, as he was one of the youngest players in attendance and also one of the players that looked completely in over his head.

Already heading back to school for his sophomore season, Lawson appears to have made the right decision. After a productive freshman season, Lawson can build on last season and try to improve his combine-worst athletic testing. If Lawson can knock down perimeter shots and show that he's a steady rebounder, he's still young enough to have a chance, but this combine showed that he might still be a few years away.

Justin Jackson, North Carolina
Game 1: 19 minutes, seven points (2-8 FG, 1-4 3PT, 2-2 FT), one rebound
Game 2: 21 minutes, eight points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3PT, 1-1 FT), three rebounds

Also returning to school next season will be Jackson, as he appears to have made the right call. Coming into the combine, teams wanted to see if Jackson could knock down perimeter shots, create his own looks and also how he was in the strength department.

After struggling to knock down three-pointers and only weighing in at 193 pounds, Jackson has another year at North Carolina to focus on his perimeter jumper and getting in the weight room. Jackson doesn't do a great job of creating separation on his scoring moves, but he's also tall enough that he can potentially shoot over some smaller defenders if he improves his jumper. Jackson could have been a second-round pick this year, but could potentially work himself into the late first round with a strong junior season.

Josh Hart, Villanova
Game 1: 18 minutes, two points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3PT, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, two steals
Game 2: 18 minutes, four points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3PT, 2-4 FT), four steals

Coming off of a national championship, the junior guard was sitting in strong position to make a good decision. If he had a good combine, Hart could leave school as a national champion, but he could always return to Villanova and a top-5 team if he came back to school.

After struggling to shoot and find ways to score at the combine, Hart might be best served with another year in school. Although he still rebounds and defends very well for a guard, Hart still needs to figure out what he's going to be on the offensive end at the NBA level. Hart would potentially be a second-round pick if he stayed in the draft, but he really needs to hone in on his offensive skill level if he wants consistent NBA minutes.

Isaiah Cousins, Oklahoma
Game 1: 18 minutes, seven points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3PT, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists
Game 2: 21 minutes, eight points (3-9 FG, 2-2 3PT, 0-0 FT), eight assists, seven rebounds

Certainly passing the "look" test was the Oklahoma senior guard, as Cousins is tall, smooth and has a natural way about him on the floor. With great size (6'4.5") and wingspan (6'6.25"), Cousins should be able to defend both guard spots and he can play a little bit on or off the ball.

The major question becomes how Cousins looks as a point guard and if he can consistently knock down perimeter shots. At Oklahoma this season, Cousins could get frustrated into taking bad shots and forcing things even though he had a lethal scorer like Buddy Hield playing with him. Cousins forced the issue a bit at the combine as well, but he also showed some promise with eight assists on the second day while also going 2-for-2 from three-point range.

Because of his size and skill, Cousins is potentially a second-round pick who has some intriguing upside at point guard with his size.

Jarrod Uthoff, Iowa
Game 1: 18 minutes, eight points (3-12 FG, 0-5 3PT, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two rebounds
Game 2: 21 minutes, seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3PT, 0-0 FT), four rebounds, three assists

Struggling against elite length and athleticism was the Iowa senior forward, as Uthoff went 6-for-18 from the field and 1-for-7 from three during his two combine games. If Uthoff can't knock down three-pointers as a floor-spacing forward, than his value is shaky at best, because he can't create much of his own offense and he's not a good athlete.

It's doubtful that Uthoff would be drafted, as he may be better suited to try his game in the D League or Europe. Although he blocked a lot of shots at Iowa during his senior season, it'll be interesting to see if that translates to the pro level.

Team 4

Ben Bentil, Providence
Game 1: 20 minutes, 15 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3PT, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists
Game 2: 19 minutes, 17 points (7-16 FG, 1-5 3PT, 2-2 FT), six rebounds

It appears that Bentil is staying in the Draft and that might be a solid decision coming off of a good combine performance.

A double-double in the first game with multiple three-pointers showed that Bentil can do a little bit of everything and that he was capable of being productive without an elite college floor leader like Kris Dunn getting him the ball.

Sometimes Bentil can get tunnel vision as he starts to hunt his own offense way too much, but he has the floor-spacing ability at forward that a lot of teams are looking for. With a 7'1.5" wingspan, Bentil also had a solid camp in terms of measurements and he should be able to rebound effectively for his position at the next level.

DeAndre Bembry, Saint Joseph's
DeAndre Bembry as the "Logo"DeAndre Bembry as the "Logo"Game 1: 21 minutes, 18 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 3PT, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists
Game 2: 25 minutes, five points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3PT, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists

The do-it-all wing from Saint Joe's was very good at times during the combine and he also had solid measurements and combine games.

With a 6'9.25" wingspan, Bembry might be able to guard a few spots on the floor from the wing as he was better as a defender at the combine than he showed during the college season.

Offensively, Bembry shined as a versatile wing who can score a little bit and also create for others. Bembry has good vision, can operate some high ball screens and also knows how to move well without the ball. If Bembry knocks down perimeter jumpers consistently during team workouts, he could be the type of player who sneaks into the late first round because he just has so many unique things to offer.

Pascal Siakam, New Mexico State
Game 1: 24 minutes, 12 points (5-9 FG, 0-0 3PT, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, one assist
Game 2: 20 minutes, eight points (4-9 FG, 0-0 3PT, 0-0 FT), 10 rebounds, one block

One of the more intriguing prospects at the combine was the New Mexico State junior forward, who measured in with a 7'3" wingspan and showed that he can impact the game a bit with his length and athleticism.

Although he's still raw offensively, Siakam has a very high motor and his athleticism means he can be a presence on defense with his length and solid mobility. Since he runs the floor well, Siakam was also able to run past opposing big men for some easy finishes on the other end, though he shied away from taking any midrange or outside shots.

If Siakam can show any kind of offensive ability outside of five feet, he's going to rocket up draft boards, and possibly end up in the first round.

Malik Newman, Mississippi State
Game 1: 20 minutes, six points (2-8 FG, 2-4 3PT, 0-0 FT), four rebounds, one steal
Game 2: 23 minutes, seven points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3PT, 0-0 FT), two rebounds, one assist

The NBA Draft Combine saw a lot of potential draft picks take the floor in Chicago last week as four teams of draft hopefuls had scrimmages in front of NBA personnel and scouts.

Here's a look at how Team 3 and Team 4 looked at the combine, complete with game stats and a look on where things might be headed for the future in terms of draft position for each player.

The Mississippi State freshman was shaky during the college season and he was inconsistent at the combine as well.

An undersized two-guard, Newman has always been streaky as a shooter and that was on display at the combine. Newman has the ability to get on a roll as he can rise-and-fire on off-the-dribble three-pointers, but he's way too inconsistent as a shooter at this point for many teams to feel comfortable taking him.

With the ball in his hands, Newman doesn't make others better and he has to be more reliable in a number of areas if he wants to get picked in the second round.

Marcus Paige, North Carolina
Game 1: 22 minutes, eight points (3-8 FG, 2-5 3PT, 0-0 FT), five assists, three steals
Game 2: 23 minutes, 16 points (6-11 FG, 3-4 3PT, 1-1 FT), five assists

Solid showing at the combine for Paige, as he needed to show NBA teams that he was reliable as a perimeter shooter and distributor.

Shaky at times during his college career as a shooter, Paige was good in spot-up situations where he was able to hit catch-and-shoot opportunities when given space. Paige was also good at limiting turnovers and getting others involved on the offensive end and the North Carolina up-and-down style has him well-prepared for pushing the ball when given the chance.

The major red flag is Paige's weight. The point guard just went through four years of college and still only weighs 164 pounds despite standing 6'1.75". That might seriously hinder Paige's ability to play in the pros because he's going to get pushed around by almost every other point guard in the league. Being a four-year guy with that kind of weight issue, it's hard to see Paige getting picked in this draft, but he'll have chances to prove himself if he can add strength and be consistent shooting the ball.

Malcolm Brogdon, Virginia
Game 1: 24 minutes, 17 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3PT, 3-4 FT), six assists, four rebounds, three steals
Game 2: 27 minutes, nine points (3-10 FG, 0-5 3PT, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists

The Virginia senior guard was solid at the combine, as he measured well with a 6'10.5" wingspan and also knocked down shots from the perimeter. Known as one of the better perimeter defenders in college basketball this past season, Brogdon showcased that ability to be a stopper at the combine as he made life difficult on opposing wings with his intense perimeter defense.

On the offensive end, Brogdon did a bit of everything and when his jumper is falling, it opens things up for Brogdon to put it on the floor and create a bit. With nine assists over two games, that was a nice added bonus for Brogdon, as he likely finds himself firmly in the second round with a shot to be a late first-round pick if the right team values his ability to play right away.

Isaiah Whitehead, Seton Hall
Game 1: 21 minutes, 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3PT, 0-0 FT), five assists, three rebounds
Game 2: 20 minutes, three points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3PT, 1-2 FT), four assists, three rebounds

One of the most fascinating early-entry decisions will come from the Seton Hall sophomore guard, as Whitehead had a monster sophomore season. The combine was interesting for Whitehead, as he showed he was just a so-so athlete but he was better defensively than he has been in college.

Offensively, Whitehead is solid with step-backs and other ways to create his own shot, but he's also very inconsistent with his shot-making and his ability to make others around him better. It's likely that Whitehead would get picked in the second round of this draft based on his potential. There was a rumor coming out of Chicago that he had a late first round promise, but that would be a big surprise if true considering the way he performed.

Perry Ellis, Kansas
Game 1: 23 minutes, 11 points (3-10 FG, 1-3 3PT, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two steals
Game 2: 18 minutes, 15 points (5-10 FG, 1-1 3PT, 4-5 FT), six rebounds

Although it might have felt like Perry Ellis was in college for more than four years, he left Kansas as a productive forward who impacted the college game in a number of ways.

At the pro level, athleticism and size are big question marks for Ellis, since he doesn't play above the rim and his perimeter shooting is a question mark. Ellis went 2-for-4 from the NBA line, but it's a small sample size from that mark.

It also remains to be seen if Ellis can be any kind of impact rebounder because he doesn't have the size or athleticism to compete with the big boys on the glass. Despite being undersized, Ellis fits the mold of the small energy fours that have found success deep in team's rotations over the past few seasons. Look for him to be drafted in the second-round.

Jake Layman, Maryland
Game 1: 20 minutes, nine points (3-6 FG, 1-4 3PT, 2-2 FT), six rebounds
Game 2: 21 minutes, 15 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3PT, 5-5 FT)

Helping his cause at the combine was the Maryland senior forward, as Layman knocked down enough jumpers to make for an intriguing potential second-round pick.

At Maryland the last two seasons, Layman has played both the 4 and the 3, which should help him adjust to the NBA level if a team wants him to come off the bench as a versatile forward who can play multiple spots.

Layman's perimeter shooting and assertiveness has been shaky at times in the past, but if he shoots the ball like he did in Chicago, he could find a spot in the second-round.
