Maryland center Bruno Fernando attended the 2019 NBA Combine over the weekend with the hopes of improving his stock ahead of next month’s draft.
Fernando, who averaged 13.6 points, 10.6 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game in his sophomore season, elected to not play in any of the scrimmages but competed in all other drills and measurements, and interviewed with several teams.
“A million kids wish they were in my position,” Fernando told media at the event. “For me to be here is nothing but blessings.”
How he stacked up against the competition
Going into the combine, Fernando’s two biggest competitors at his position in the draft were Texas’ Jaxson Hayes and Oregon’s Bol Bol, who have been projected to go before him in most mock drafts.
