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.

Yeah, he had a really good Game 2. Insiders, did his 2nd game performance turn any heads for the NBA attendees or get substantial buzz for him going from what you've heard? Glad he was able to show more of what he was capable of after that somewhat rough Game 1. Good on him for sure.

Zero turnovers? Hope CH brings that portion of his game back with him to Champaign.

He’s a mid to late 2nd round guy at best … His agency has been told that it won’t be a guaranteed contract from the super interested teams… 🤷🏻‍♂️

I think with RayJ and TJ on board … He’d be crazy to stay in … He saw what happened to Kofi …

But if he does decide to stay in … We’ve got a couple guys we’d go after … I’ve mentioned the top target on here before … And with the perceived “leader” in that recruitment about to take someone at his position … He’s definitely up for grabs …
