Interesting insight. (Not necessarily Malachi related)

Chad Ford: [URL='http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/insider/story/_/id/15513903/chad-ford-five-top-things-watch-2016-nba-draft-combine']The NBA draft combine continues to struggle to get the top players to participate.[/URL]

Why would players refuse to participate in the combine? It's on the agents. More and more, agents care less about draft position and more about finding the right fits for their clients. By withholding information (especially medical examinations), it gives them leverage to steer their clients away from teams that are undesirable.

And what is the least desirable team in the NBA right now? It's the Sacramento Kings. Based on my conversations on Wednesday, it looks like the Kings will struggle to get any players in the top 10 in for workouts.

"It's the most dysfunctional team in the NBA," one agent said. "I've had several clients there. They were miserable. Miserable. They don't know what they're doing. And nothing they've done this spring has changed my opinion. It would be malpractice to send one of my clients there."
