With the NBA Draft Combine completed, Chris Stone and I are back with another big Board update. the Combine went a long way towards helping some players make big gains on the draft board, and resulted in the most changes we’ve made since February. Players like D.J. Wilson and Jonathan Jeanne wowed with their physical profiles, and may have bought first-round picks, while O.G. Anunoby showed he may be close to fully healthy after his mystery injury. Meanwhile, players like Rawle Alkins may have played themselves onto draft boards.

The final landmark for prospects will be the withdrawal deadline, which comes May 24th. That will likely be the final major shake-up to the draft order, as fringe players decide whether or not to fully commit to their NBA chase. Until then, let’s take a look at who helped themselves in the Combine, and who could be projected lower than they’d like.
