NBA combine drills were huge for the top draft prospects

It’s been a big day for the top prospects in the NBA draft, and there were some surprising results for the prospects the Utah Jazz will be looking at in the Draft. Here are some of the most important highlights.

AJ Dybantsa

A lot of eyes were on Dybantsa as he came into the draft combine to see what his measurements would be. Those measurements looked great, and so the focus would turn to how well he did in the drills and stations. The biggest wow factor came with his vertical.

That 42” vertical is fantastic! There’s a lot of debate right now between Dybantsa and Peterson, and this type of athleticism is the type of thing that could give the edge to Dybantsa at #1. Dybantsa’s shooting wasn’t as impressive as others, but with his mix of size and athleticism, it’s easy to see just how high his ceiling is.

Darryn Peterson

The debate between Peterson and Dybantsa is going to be fun, and the Wizards may not make a decision until Adam Silver walks to the podium. The argument for Darryn Peterson will be his elite skill level. Peterson had solid drill numbers and vertical, though not eye-popping. But what really shone was his elite scoring ability. Peterson’s spot-up shooting drill showcased just how effortless it is for him to score.

Peterson is likely going to be elite in his workouts, but you can tell a lot from a guy who almost looks bored knocking down threes. There’s a chance that Peterson could be the scoring champion in the league and do it pretty easily.

One thing that has always been clear about Cam Boozer is the high level of basketball he plays. He’s basically good at everything, and that showed today. He shot the ball at the same level as Darryn Peterson in his spot-up drill, for example.

He also had good measureables and moved well. He likely solidified himself as the third pick, and we’ll see if what he did may have swayed either the Jazz or the Wizards.

Caleb Wilson

Caleb Wilson had solid production during the combine, but it wasn’t at a level that makes me think he might make a surprise appearance in the top-3. His vertical was a very good 39.5 inches. Really…
