Except 1/50th of the cardio

And 3 times the knee injuries.

[BrewCity83]

Damn....was hoping for an OMax effort today. Hopefully it's nothing serious.

Kam said it's a very minor hamstring tweak.

DNP?

Hollinger's final notes from the NBA Combine weren't grand for Kam:

I'm a huge fan of Marquette's Kam Jones, but this wasn't his week. He had just seven points in 18 minutes in his one scrimmage before pulling out with a hamstring injury. Measuring at 6-3 1/4 in socks with a meh 6-6 wingspan, and pulling off a meager 24 1/2-inch no-step vertical, Jones had to shine on the court to offset his iffy measurables, and it didn't happen.

Sounds like a guard version of Kyle Anderson.

Behind Tonje.  Gard gets it done

Behind Tonje.  Gard gets it done

I'm shocked Kam was rated higher in Mocks all year. Tonje is bigger (1.5"), stronger, better wingspan and standing reach, better leaper, more athletic, and a better 3-point shooter.

I expect he will continue to rise. Kam has to show teams in visits that he is a knockdown 3 point shooter to maintain his status as early to mid 2nd.

The Gard Factor matters, too

Tonje is bigger (1.5")

pawz, but Tonje sucks

Undersized 24 yo bowling ball who only has a good offensive season once he was playing kids 5 years younger than him.

We'll see in a couple weeks. If he was 20, he'd be a 1st. I expect early 2nd.

When he was 20.....he wasnt good enough to be in the draft.

True, but neither was Kam.

The stats and measurables for Tonje are solid to good. I think the problem is that he doesn't really do anything on the court at an NBA level. I don't see anything that translates.

Agree. Meanwhile, Kam is seen as a combo guard who mostly excelled when playing PG for an NCAA tournament team. Unfortunately, his poor shooting in the BE season dropped him out of the first round.
