The San Antonio Spurs’ front office is taking advantage of the team’s early playoff exit. While preparing for last week’s draft combine in Chicago, the team was getting a sneak peek at a handful of prospects.
Among that handful that came through, two prospects stood out, mostly because of the impression they made in Chicago after the Spurs worked them out. First is Notre Dame’s Pat Connaughton. The senior shooting guard made waves last week when he set a combine record for the max vertical with a 44 inch leap. There’s some question about how high he actually got up, but rest assured the guy is one hell of an athlete.
