Caleb Swanigan is not the only Boilermaker that will be at the upcoming NBA combine. A.J. Hammons, the outgoing 7-foot center that was A.J. HAMMONS, DESTROYER OF WORLDS for a good portion of the 2015-16 season, is also headed to the NBA combine on May 17 in Chicago.
Unlike Swanigan, Hammons is gone no matter what. Most places project him as a late first round or early second round selection. He will get to battle several other centers at the combine such as Jakob Poeltl of Utah, who took his Kareen Abdul-Jabbar Award and Damian Jones, who Hammons tore limb-from-limb in the matchup with Vanderbilt just before the New Year.
