With the 2016 NBA Draft Combine set to get underway in Chicago this week, the NBA and its talented scouts will all gather in one spot and evaluate and dissect each individual.
Not only will teams be talking with and evaluating draft prospects, the Combine is also where the two remaining coaching jobs likely get filled and where the seeds of draft-day trades begin to be laid.
