Who Stood Out on Day 2 of the NBA Draft Combine
Coleman Hawkins, Illinois
Hawkins is a unique player, a rail-thin frontcourt player who’s better as a distributor than scorer. How that skill set translates to a setting like this is always an open question, but Hawkins had a productive day Thursday that showcased how he could add value to an NBA organization. He dished out seven assists without a turnover, had nine rebounds and flashed his shot-blocking instincts with three rejections on the day. His fit may end up being heavily team-dependent, but if he lands in the right situation he could end up being a valuable commodity.
