Morris Johnson was the big winner of the NBA Combine Day 1, and he could go top 10, even to the Mavs. Welcome here, still locked on to the Dallas Mavericks, your team every day. My name is Nick Engs, and it's the One More Thing, and we're talking about the NBA Combine Day 1. We went there yesterday, if you listened to this, on a Tuesday. And we saw a bunch of guys. We saw a bunch of guys test different drills, vertical leap, the shooting drills, a bunch of different things like that. We haven't seen any of the guards that we think are going that top 10. They'll go today if you're listening to this. But we saw a lot of people. We saw also saw measurements of a lot of different people as well. Isaac Harris, the one more thing king. The winner of day one for the NBA Combine was. I think it's more as Johnson Jr. I mean, you look at a guy who just came off a

0:47.8

national championship win at Michigan and, you know, his measurements come out first at 6'9 without shoes. So he's around 6-10, 6.10 and a half, long wingspan. And then he gets out in these drills today. And I already had him as like a lottery pick. And you've been high on him. No Seleings guys have been high on him. Tyler Metcalfe, him no ceilings has been really high in him for a long time throughout this process. Yeah. So we're setting front row of the NBA combine today, day one.

1:15.7

He comes out in this first group is a group of bigs and he does his max vert at 39 inches.

1:22.9

And that's one of the highest verticals of the day. And that's as a as a big man. He goes over and does some of the lane agility drills. He does the pro lane agility drill. And I mean, he had the top spot on that leaderboard. Even through like this next group that came out, which had featuring some of the guards, he had a higher, you know, side to side.

1:44.6

Like, um, it's more of like a, yeah, I'm not even going to try to describe the, it's agility.

1:48.8

So it's back and forth.

1:50.0

It's east west.

1:50.7

It's, you know, seeing how quick your feet are and things like that.

1:54.1

And like, I mean, you could be that big and be clumsy and not, not be that quick of foot.

1:58.3

And he was not.

1:59.3

Yeah. and not be that quick of foot and he was not. I mean, I watched Henri Vesar do it the same thing and

2:02.2

he looked a lot different than Morris Johnson doing it. I mean, but then, center from Duke, but

2:06.7

North Carolina. Sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Freaking Duke. Some North Carolina school. They're the same.

2:13.9

But then, you know, but then, you know you know johnson then then they do shooting drills and

2:19.6

right in front of us he does this you know three point star shooting drill and he's going it kind of

He's cheering on. Yeah. Zubi as he's going through the deal. He's hollering over at Christian Anderson's, like, get up, Chris for his vertical leap. like he's he's like the full package of like what you want in a big man versatile uhatile. Defensively, you go back to some of his shooting numbers in college, a good free throw percentage. I know I'm just like glazing him right now. You can imagine the type of, you can imagine him playing in some of these playoff games that we're watching right now. Oh yeah, yeah. Like the type of big wing that can defend different positions.
