NBA Draft Combine Winners and Losers


++Winners++

Cedric Coward

Tahaad Pettiford

Maxime Reynaud

Mackenzie Mgbako

Hansen Yang

Yanic Konan Niederhauser

Drake Powell

Egor Demin

Coward, Pettiford and Reynaud have successfully launched themselves into 1st-round conversations (lottery for Coward). Mgbako could stay in school, but he is looking like a top 40 pick as well. Hansen Yang and Y.K. Niederhauser weren't on many people's radars but now appear to be top 50 prospects. Powell showed off his athleticism and still has top 35-40 upside. Demin is also slowly moving up boards after a strong shooting performance.

++Losers++

Ace Bailey

RJ Luis

Max Shulga

Jase Richardson

Dink Pate

Darrion Williams

Vlad Goldin

Johni Broome

Bailey came in at 6'7 3/4" without shoes, but is still top 5 projected. RJ Luis didn't look great in scrimmages, along with Max Shulga and Dink Pate. Darrion Williams struggled to stand out. Vlad Goldin didn't make much impact either. Jase Richardson is smaller than expected, which won't help his rep as a liability on defense. Johni Broome's vertical attempts are now memes, and he showed that he's not big enough or has a deep enough bag, at least to me.
