Owner Glen Taylor, along with new limited partners Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez, told Gupta when he took over for the fired Gersson Rosas before training camp that they would evaluate him over the course of the season before making a decision on what they would do at the top of the basketball operations department. In the meantime, Gupta has been empowered to run the front office how he sees fit, league sources told The Athletic, and he has started to reshape the staff as the Wolves prepare to convene with the rest of the league in Chicago next week for the NBA Draft Combine.

As he met with the media ahead of the upcoming NFL Scouting Combine, former Clemson standout receiver Justyn Ross was asked about the possibility of playing with his former college teammate, Trevor Lawrence, in Jacksonville.

“I would say that’d be pretty cool,” Ross replied. “Just cause of what we did over the time we were together.”

The Jaguars receiver room is in desperate need of a talent influx. Ross presents himself as a plausible option for Jacksonville come Day 2 of this April’s NFL draft.

It certainly helps that he already has chemistry with the quarterback there, who Clemson fans may know a thing or two about.

Size may matter in the NBA, but that’s more relative to players’ heights than their weights.

Nevertheless, NBA draft prospects still get their weights measured at the annual combine, just so teams get an idea of who may need to pack on some pounds (of muscle) and who needs to lose some (fat).

A prospect being on the lighter side may not totally ruin their chances of becoming a high-level NBA player (guys like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and George Hill, who you’ll find below, are a testament to that), but it sure might make it harder, particularly when it comes to finishing in the paint.

Below, the slimmest players ever at the NBA draft combine.

The players with smallest hands ever at the draft combine (relative to height)

Check out the smallest hands ever measured at the NBA Draft Combine. The Morris twins Markieff and Marcus both surprisingly make this list.

Having large hands is a huge help for NBA players, as gripping the ball and controlling it becomes easier for those with bigger hands than those with smaller ones.

As such, hand size is measured at the annual NBA Draft Combine, and guess what? Not everyone measures in as impressively as Kawhi Leonard did when he was a prospect.

Below, check out the smallest hands ever measured at the NBA Draft Combine. The Morris twins Markieff and Marcus, who have both had impressive careers thus far, both surprisingly make an appearance on this list.

Much was made about Kawhi Leonard’s hand size when he first measured in at the NBA draft combine when it became known that the future Finals MVP had paws that reached 9.75 inches in length and 11.25 inches in width.

Obviously, since then, the Los Angeles Clippers superstar has put those hands to good use in the NBA.

However, did you know Leonard doesn’t have the biggest hands in NBA draft combine history? Or even the second biggest?
