re: Tremont Waters turning some heads at NBA Combine

The skill is there. The physical issues are the concern. But surprisingly he tied for 3rd in max vertical leap (40.5 inche)

The height is the concern, but he dunked a few times here, and he also blocked a couple shots (rim blocks). That's impressive at 5'10.

I think the large hand size is a key for him. It doesn't adversely affect his shot, but it maximizes his ball handling. He could be a poor man's CP3 in the NBA, and that would earn him some cash.

If he goes to the right team, he can stick around. I think the Pels might actually be a good fit- you'd want him pushing the ball, breaking his man down, and throwing sweet passes to Zion (and AD if he's there still), and being pretty consistent on open 3's. You concede that he'd get overpowered near the basket on defense, and have a shot blocker behind him.
He'd bring the excitement to wherever he goes.
