Tyler Kolek and Oso Ighodaro NBA Combine

That statement kind of makes no sense, Noah fence. Thanks for the insider info though.

“Playing at the combine only really helps, rarely hurts”

“Koleks draft status wasn’t hurt by him not playing”

I get the sentiment, but if the first part is true then the second part can’t really be true.

If players are rarely hurt and only really helped by playing, then TyKo not playing at best didn’t make his status worse, but more than likely or at worst affected the improvement of his status, or in other words hurt his status.

Unless he’s going to the wolves in the top 15 to play the pick n roll with wemby, and his agent has a feeling or has been given the feeling that’s the case, then huh?

Damn things are really going well for Minny.

They got Ant. A chance at a title. Plus Wemby on his way and a top 15 pick??

basically, not playing at the combine won't hurt someone or cause him to drop. Playing can launch a lesser prospect should a coach fall in love with him while watching. Kolek isn't going to drop in the minds of GMs and scouts for not playing, but someone who may not have been on a team's radar might jump up and get drafter higher than he would have (it happened when my buddy was scouting and his HC fell in love with a guy). The concern of the poster was that not playing would be seen as a negative for Kolek, which it won't.

An excellent display of conditioning and versatility for Oso . Hopefully the scouts view this positively.

Still has horrible form. He’s 6’9 and his release point might be lower than mine somehow.

Yeah I mean I was mostly saying it in jest.

It is better he made them than missed them, but I doubt it impacts his draft stock at all.

Oso's release point is so low he should come back to Marquette for one more year

Saw a Shawn Marion comp for Oso and thought that was an interesting comp.  Marion was a swiss army knife kind of player with a low release point on his perimeter shot too.  Oso's probably a little more athletic than Shawn Marion.

So we had TJ McConnell and Shawn Marion on our team last year and couldn't make it out of the S16

Worse, it was Stockton and Malone.

Nash and Amarie

But they didn’t accomplish anything in the playoffs either

Oh man, I don't know about Oso being more athletic than Shawn Marion.

They're both freaks.  Check out Oso's combine athletic numbers.  They're actually insane.

I'd love to have seen Shawns... did they measure them the same way back then?

Right, that is why I said "I don't know." Cause Marion was very much athletic.

I was real happy to see Oso and Juan Toscano ran into each other at the Klutch pro day thing

But it's an improvement from 2023, when we couldn't make it TO the S16.
