2020 NBA Draft: 10 players hurt most by no combine this year

Jahmi’us Ramsey, SG, Texas Tech

Ramsey has yet to make an official decision about whether he will remain in the draft or return to school, and the lack of combine (for now) might be working in Texas Tech’s favor.

The Big 12 Freshman of the Year is projected to be a late first- or early second-round pick, and where ever he lands on that fringe might be the determining factor regarding whether he stays or leaves. If he had the chance to work out for teams, though, my guess is his stock would go more towards the lottery than the second round.

While he did show signs of youth and relative inexperience at times for the Red Raiders, Ramsey has an extremely enticing all-around skill set. He can score from all three levels, handle the ball, and is a quality perimeter defender. Plus, he already has an NBA-ready body.

With how weak this draft class is, that all-around skillset likely would’ve (and still could) caused a team in the late lottery or middle of the first round to fall in love with him.

Jay Scrubb, SG, John Logan College

Scrubb, the top JUCO prospect in the country, had originally committed to Louisville. However, he had been weighing his NBA Draft prospects throughout the offseason and decided to keep his name in the draft pool last month.

The 6-6, 220-pounder is a talented athlete who, while not a great shooter, can make a shot from beyond the arc and is an extremely good finisher around the rim with the quickness to get past his defender virtually whenever he wants.

He does have some lazy tendencies he needs to break, particularly on the defensive end, and scouts want to see him produce against elite competition, which he obviously didn’t face in the JUCO ranks. The combine would’ve given him the platform for that, and a good performance could’ve ensured that he gets drafted – and potentially pushed him into late in the first round.
