NBA Draft Combine: Biggest Questions, Scrimmage Standouts From Thursday

Chatter surrounding the Thunder’s draft plan continued while several players made their marks in the day’s in-game action.

CHICAGO — The initial pair of combine scrimmages took place Thursday, with two more coming Friday as teams continue to hold interviews and conduct business behind the scenes. As usual, when the entire league gathers in one place for an extended period of time, information travels and draft speculation starts to get serious. A series of agency-run pro days continues to take place here in Chicago, and top executives will head to California next week to finish that circuit.

The first day of games at the combine tends to be more important than the second, if only because players who start out hot are often withdrawn from the event by their agents.
