Friday, May 17 Warriors future: includes video reaction and my exclusive conversation with Warriors adviser Jerry West bleacherreport.com/articles/16427… @BR_NBA
Cody Zeller's standing vert of 35.5" was highest ever recorded for player 6-9 or taller in last decade. #NBADraftCombine
Mostly, the pick would cost money. The source emphasized that GSWs haven't made any decisions. Could look for more veteran help.

NBA source: If they choose, GSWs believe they can acquire either 1st- or 2nd round pick in this draft. They have no picks at the moment.
To quote Ralph Wiggum, whenever I get coffee at the Dunkin Donuts in Penn Station, it tastes like burning.
Yahoo reporting the Atlanta Hawks could choose CSKA Moscow's Ettore Messina as their new coach.

Jeff Withey: 26.5" standing vert. 29" max vert. 3.47 sec sprint. 12.49 agility drill. #NBADraftCombine
Cody Zeller does 17 reps of 185 bench. Anyone who lifts seriously will tell you bench is almost worthless move but that's a good #.
I know Kelly has a foot injury, so he can't run right now. But 14.8% body fat? He must love that "Hot Donuts Now" sign.
Just saw Indiana's Cody Zeller put up 185 lbs 17 times (depending on whether they count the final one) on the press. That ain't weak.
Duke's Ryan Kelly had by far the highest body-fat content at the NBA draft combine at 14.8%. Only 2 others were above 10%.
Check out the Positive Coaching Alliance, one of the youth sports entities that has endorsed "Raising Your Game" positivecoach.org
Duke PG Seth Curry officially stands 6' 1" without shoes, 6' 3" with shoes. He's at 9 percent body fat, highest among PGs attending combine.
So happy to break out the Wash/Dead Prez theme song again today. The great Ron Washington joins us at 3:00 on the Ben & Skin Show - 105.3 FM
Ricky Ledo was great yesterday but he's struggled quite a bit today. Not shooting or defending well & seems to lack confidence. Project guy?
What makes that unlikely for George Hill is that we don't know when his 24-hour symptom-free period will start.
My new favorite TV show: "The Baby Bachelor." Too bad they couldn't afford Chris Harrison though. es.pn/111TIg7
Tim Hardaway Jr a big standout here in Day 2 in the drills. So competitive and just a pro #NBADraftCombine
And with the NBA combine in full swing, I wrote about how Bobcats can't afford to whiff this year in the draft po.st/TukMq3 So Rudy Gobert can't jump. When you can stand flat-footed and reach 9' 7" off the floor, with 7-8 1/2 wingspan, does it matter?
Possible to miss only 1 game from a concussion under current NBA policy. Darrell Arthur suffered one on Friday, played Monday.

Thing to keep in mind is there are plenty of guys in the NBA who couldn't shoot a lick between age 18-20 and developed into solid shooters.
In story: A look at who Ranadive might bring from Warriors, & Chris Mullin addressing buzz that he'll be involved - usat.ly/15TmBnJ How B.J. Young shot 40% for 3 as a freshman is one of the world's great mysteries. He's shot the ball 100 different ways here. None working.
For all those saying players could wear lifts: have everyone wear the same brand/type of shoes when being measured.
Gotta feel for Archie Goodwin. He really can't buy a basket here in Chicago. Seems to be a mental thing at this point. He's better than this

Without shoes UCLA lottery prospect G/F Shabazz Muhammad stands 6' 4.75". With shoes he's 6' 6.25". He's at 9 percent body fat.
There is no surefire star waiting at No. 1 if the #Suns get lucky in the lottery. It's McLemore or Noel. bit.ly/15TfvQ4
Cody Zeller isn't participating in drills but his strong measurements (wingspan, body fat, vertical) make the combine a win for him
Cody Zeller with a VERY impressive 35.5" standing vertical. Wow. Mason Plumlee 30.5" standing vert
Woodson Needed To Have a Big Game and Did at the Right Time @Knicks_PR thanks to this adjustment theknicksblog.com/knicks/flex-ap… … #Knicks #pacers
Will ask one more time re: measurements from Pre-Draft camp--why do they bother measuring without shoes? Does anyone play without shoes?
Allen Crabbe and Tim Hardaway Jr seem to be showing the highest skill-level in the shooting guard group. Caldwell-Pope struggling again.

Seattle group could not have been any stronger. Deep pocketed, passionate owner(s). Arena deal. Disappointed, but their time will come.
NBA Draft Combine notes from last night: Lakers, Hawks may aim for lottery pick; McCullom, Porter, Muhammad, more. tinyurl.com/axngod9
SG crop is playing something resembling actual basketball now - 4 on 3 half-court. Unfortunately too little to draw any real conclusions...
Excited to spend next 2 weeks in 2 cities I've never been to: San Antonio + Memphis. Right now Dry Rub BBQ is a -130 favorite over TexMex.
Steven Adams vertical looked really impressive from where I saw it. He can get up for a 7 footer.

Proposed book: collected first-person accounts of City Hall reporters during Ford's tenure. I'll buy 10 copies.
That said, some teams don't like Oladipo's game, think he's just an athlete. Hearing Cavs one of them, although not directly from them.

I believe it was @thekeenanwire who said Rob Ford isn't really into being mayor, just running for mayor. That's kind of it.
Indiana G Victor Oladipo came off very well at NBA Draft Combine. Looked great in drills, strong interviews with teams, a hit w/the media.

As many are noting, Spurs-Grizz reg season included key absences on both sides & a scheduling quirk. That's the NBA. Still very competitive.
Tweet your Vote @FoxSportsWest for tonight's #Angels poll! Who has the best swing in baseball? #MikeTrout #MattKemp #JoeMauer
Steven Adams continues to tantalize GM's with his potential. Having a very good two days here. His high skill level is real.
Spurs have the depth to give the Grizz problems. Grizz have Gasol & Randolph. Whichever asset outweighs the other should be the difference
Teams are all over the map on Mike Muscala. Some thing he's a major sleeper. Others don't think he's a NBA player at all. I like him a lot.
If you start a column on Derrick Rose with "You owed us more" (my.chicagotribune.com/#section/-1/ar…) I'm going to go ahead and close the tab.
Tony Parker made more 3-point shots than 2-point shots last night. No way that's happened before.
Jeff Withey clearly more of a 5 on 5 guy. Body doesn't look great compared to other big men, and he hasn't been so impressive in the drills.
Spahija for Croatian NT? Repesa: 'He is available and he is ready to take the national team. He is a great coach'
Gorgui Dieng would be an interesting prospect for Atlanta Hawks if still available in middle of the first round. Size and athleticism. Kelly Olynyk clearly the most skilled big man here. Looks like a guard with his handle and jumper. Measured just 6-10 wingspan vs 7-0 height
Splitter, Diaw and Leonard, who all played exceptionally well against the Warriors in spots, will have to be even better against the Grizz
There will be nothing flashy about the Memphis Grizzlies vs San Antonio Spurs series, just rough and tough basketball. The way I like it. Steven Adams continues to show a better than expected skill-level in the drills. Doesn't seem to be thinking as much. Just competing hard.
Repesa on Croatian NT at Eurobasket: 'But if Repesa will not be the coach, then Croatia will have a better coach than Repesa"
Repesa to FIBAEurope on EuroBasket: "Malaga has an option on my contract Two days after the last official game, they will take a decision"
I'm hoping to have something of substance on concussions later today. Travel and other tasks may delay a bit.

Just spoke to @DallasMavs coach Rick Carlisle, who says there's guys he likes in the draft that others might not like.
Think the Grizz have a better shot at stopping the Miami championship parade than the Spurs, what say you? Not that chances good either way
Forbes reports a range of 5 days out (Michael Kidd-Gilchrist) to 27 (Chris Kaman), but not a comprehensive list.
NBA types, help me out: what's the least time missed by a concussed player under the league's new concussion protocol?
Only true 7-footer (w/out shoes): Rudy Gobert. Steven Adams, Colton Iverson, Kelly Olynyk, Mason Plumlee, Jeff Withey, Zeller 7-feet w/shoes
So much was made about Harrison Barnes and whether he could contribute during big games ... Good to see him thriving on the big stage Rihanna's nasty Instagram could turn into turning point of series. It finally got JR going whereas Woody had failed.
In reg season, Spurs/Grizz split 4 gms, home team won each. Two gms went to OT, another decided by 2 pts. Only 1 meeting post-Gay trade.
Interesting that @ESPN_Colin skips over Griz when talking about healthiest teams. Last game missed by a starter was in March. #research
Harrison Barnes became first rookie to average 16 points and six rebounds during playoffs since David Robinson in 1990 (min 10 games) Looking at the official measurements: Cody Zeller with a wingspan of 6-10 3/4, wider than previously listed. Zeller also with 4.75% body fat

Michael vs. Kobe? I feel privileged to have spent part of my career covering both. No need for sweeping statements. They're different.
Phil was a masterful coach. As Krause said, he was masterful at picking Tex's brain. It was the combo of the 2. Tex+Phil. Or Phil+Tex.

Phil's new book confirms a lot of things for me, the greatest of which was the role Tex Winter's wisdom and passion played in his success.
ASU's Carrick Felix has the lowest body fat percentage of 61 draft combine invitees. He's at 3.3%. Duke's Ryan Kelly has the worst at 14.8%.
If Tex hadn't been on that bench to balance out the response to Kobe, I'm not sure the Lakers would have won all those titles.
Top shooters from NBA Draft Combine on Thur: Mike Muscala (76%), Tony Snell (74%), Reggie Bullock & Grant Jerrett (72%), Allen Crabbe (70%)
The fundamental difference between Tex and Phil in dealing with Kobe is that Tex respected Kobe. Phil took years to warm to that notion.
