Without trying to pump the article too much, if you do nothing else...click the link and watch the video. Athlete's Edge in Florida hooked us up with exclusive video of Jae's workouts. They're pretty incredible to say the least.

Awesome article and video. It's really hard to imagine him playing the 2 guard position, but good for him if he's able to pull it off.

thats a tremendous article and great video to go along with it. well done guys.

Jae will have a long road in front of him to transition to a 2, but he seems like he's off to a good start. Really interesting to watch the drills and motions he's working on after trying to become stronger in the post in his time here. Certainly taking him out of his comfort zone. It seems like he has good potential to increase his range as a defender, and hopefully he's able to keep building on his handle - which was the most notable improvement and yet NBA-weakness evident to me as I watched the video.

The article mentions that the NBA combine is June 6-10 in Chicago... anyone know if this is open to the public?

I don't believe so, but the majority of it (maybe all of it) is televised on ESPN.
