The columns can be sorted.
FYI, the height column doesn't sort correctly.
It puts the tallest guys below the 6'2" guys.

That is really weird.
The NBA must have changed what is on that page.
It was all of this years guys before.
WCS, Kaminsky, etc.

TJ,

Is this the combine for the current college crop?  I noticed the name Spencer Dinwiddie, and I wondered whether he might be related to Bill Dinwiddie, who played one season for the Celtics.  So I looked up Spencer, and he's shown as just having finished the 2014-15 season with the Detroit Pistons.  Maybe there's another Spencer Dinwiddie coming out of college this year, but it seems a coincidence that they're "both" 6'6".

Oh, and can anyone tell me the main distinction held by Bill Dinwiddie?  Other than now being known as Rashid Shabazz.

Sam, those are all last year's draft names. Unless there's a sorting trick I haven't figured out.

The NBA Combine doesn't usually happen until after the playoffs are over and all NBA coaching staffs can attend.

No, I think the Combine always happens in May. Finals don't end until mid june, and draft is late june.

http://www.draftexpress.com/article/2015-NBA-Draft-Combine-Measurements-Analysis-4964

Top Prospects
-Robert Upshaw: The ex-Washington center helped himself in a big way measuring 6'10.75 without shoes on with a 7'5.5 wingspan, 9'5 standing reach, and a 258.2 pound frame. Finishing as the 3rd tallest and heaviest prospect in attendance, Upshaw also posted the longest wingspan, highest standing reach, and biggest hands in terms of both length and width of any player measured here. His measurements compare favorably to Nene who measured 6'9.25 without shoes with a 7'4.5 wingspan and 253-pound frame coming out of Brazil in 2002. Upshaw's standing reach is right on par with players like Shaquille O'Neal and Brook Lopez as one of the top-25 in our database all-time. Needless to say, the Fresno State transfer who was dismissed from the program after only 19 games has outstanding size for the center position. Interestingly, Upshaw is actually lighter than he was when he was measured at the Amare Stoudemire Camp in 2011 when he stood 7' in shoes with a 7'4 wingspan and 264-pound frame.

-Willie Cauley-Stein: The prolific Kentucky shot blocker measured 6'11.25 without shoes with a 7'3 wingspan and a 242 pound frame. His 6.3% body fat is very low for a big man and his standing reach ranks 5th among the players measured here. Cauley-Stein isn't as historically large as Upshaw, but aren't far off those of Chris Bosh who measured 6'10.25 with a 7'3.5 wingspan and a 225-pound frame coming out of Georgia Tech.

-D'Angelo Russell: The elite shooting guard prospect measured right on par with expectations. Standing 6'3.25 without shoes on, or a legit 6'5 in shoes, Russell has solid size for a guard to go along with a 193 pound frame that he's added almost 20 pounds of muscle to over the last two years and a 6'9.75 wingspan. He has terrific length for his height, which sets him apart from many 2-guard prospects we've seen recently. His closest physical comparison in terms of height and length is actually Victor Oladipo, who measured 6'3.25 without shoes with a 6'9.25 wingspan, albeit with a heavier 213-pound frame. Russell's hand size and width also rank well above average among the players in attendance here regardless of position.

-Justise Winslow: Standing 6'4.5 without shoes with a 6'10.25 wingspan and a 221.8-pound frame, Winslow doesn't really stand out on paper among his peers in terms of sheer size aside from his tiny 5.3% body fat percentage. The Duke product is almost exactly the same size as Lance Stephenson, who measured 6'4.5 without shoes to go along with a 6'10.5 wingspan while tipping the scales at 227 pounds. Though Winslow's raw size may not stand out, he figures to be one of the more impressive athletes in attendance.

-Frank Kaminsky: The Wisconsin star measured 6'11.75 without shoes to go along with a middling 6'11 wingspan and a 231-pound frame. Those numbers place him ahead of Kelly Olynyk, who measured 6'10.75 without shoes and a 6'9.75 wingspan. Kaminsky lacks outstanding length and was the only player in attendance to post a wingspan to height ratio below 1.0, but his height ranks prominently among similarly skilled big men in recent memory.

-Kelly Oubre and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson: The pair of highly touted wings measured very similarly here. Oubre is 6'5.75 without shoes with a 7'2.25 wingspan and a 202.8 pound frame while Hollis-Jefferson measured 6'5.5 without shoes with a 7'2 wingspan and a 210.8 pound frame. On top of being the heavier of the two, Hollis-Jefferson had the highest standing reach edging Oubre 104 to 102.5 in that test. Both players compare favorably to former Maverick and Wake Forest standout Josh Howard who measured 6'5.25 without shoes with a 7'2 wingspan and 202-pound frame coming out of school in 2003. They're both a bit smaller than Kawhi Leonard who measured 6'6 without shoes with a 7'3 wingspan and a 227-pound frame, but Leonard's wingspan mark puts the length both players possess in proper perspective.

-Myles Turner: Texas freshman Myles Turner is in largely the same boat as Cauley-Stein in that he measured very well, but not quite as well as Upshaw. Standing 6'11.25 with a 7'4 wingspan and a 238.6-pound frame, he has terrific size for a NBA big man. His 122-inch standing reach ranks second among all players in attendance.

-Tyus Jones: The skilled point guard measured 6'0.25 without shoes to go along with a 6'5 wingspan and a 184.6 pound frame. Measured at 6'0.75 with shoes last year by USA Basketball, it is safe to say Jones has grown a bit since that time, but he was also 191 pounds with a 6'5.25 wingspan at that point. While every little win in terms of size helps for a player like Jones, his weight loss is also interesting. Interestingly, Jones compares favorably to both Mike Conley and Chris Paul when they were coming out of Ohio State and Wake Forest respectively. Conley measured 5'11.75 without shoes with a 6'5.75 wingspan and a 175-pound frame while Paul was 5'11.75 with a 6'4.25 wingspan and a 178-pound frame. Though Jones doesn't have elite quickness like those two players, from a sheer size standpoint, he fits in with some of the league's top floor generals.

-George Lucas: The young Brazilian guard largely matched his Hoop Summit measurements. Standing 6'4.5 without shoes with a 7' wingspan, Lucas has outstanding size for a player who spends time at the point guard position. De Paula is pretty much the same size as Marshon Brooks was coming out of Providence. Brooks measured 6'4.25 without shoes with a 7'1 wingspan and a 195-pound frame. De Paula has an impressive frame in his own right tipping the scales at 197 pounds with a very low 6.7% body fat ratio, finished 7th in hand width and 2nd in hand length among all players here, and is still only 18. Needless to say, he's one of the most unique physical specimens at the point guard position in this draft, or any draft for that matter.

The Brazilian point guard George Lucas de Paula had the second longest hands at the combine, as a PG. And his 7' wingspan is the longest ever for a PG, at least in the modern database. Not bad for an 18 year old.

He's a borderline first round pick.

RJ Hunter, the sharpshooter, measured out very well with a 6'10.5" wingspan and 8'8" standing reach, same as James Young.

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson measures out beautifully with his 7'2" wingspan, but his 210 lbs is lower than expected, as he weighed 219 last summer, and looked thick this season.

While I think he's more athletic than Kawhi Leonard, Leonard weighed 227 at his Combine, which is a 17 lb difference and a big deal when going up against guys like LeBron or Melo or even Crowder.

Maybe RHJ slimmed down to crush the athletic testing which starts tomorrow.

I have a personal fault...when I see a players REAL height then I always think of them as such.

I do hate the NBA's 'wressling style" sizes they use today.

Winslow being UNDER 6-5 could drop him some. he's a SF to me and that's awful short.

thanks swish.

One guy that really pops out to me is Bobby Portis. 6'9.5" w/o shoes is very often rounded up to 6'11" in shoes. So 6'10.5 or 6'11", the guy is tall! And long!

And and and and ... He gained 10 lbs from last summer! A lean 246 lbs, which he is, means he's ready for NBA action from day 1. Quite possibly an instant upgrade over Sully, Bass, Jerebko, and KO.

He's already got all the skills offensively, and now we know he has all the physical tools!

And he'll be just fine at center longterm. 7'2" wingspan is just fine/great, and his 9'0.5" standing reach is just one inch below league average, but outstanding for a guy with his scoring ability.

Winslow has a very solid standing reach though, at 8'8.5". Combined with his great athleticism, instincts, and strength, he'll be just fine at SF, but probably not dominant defensively.

Banner 18: Interviews will highlight combine for Celtics

Boston Celtics decision-makers are in Chicago this week for the NBA's annual draft combine. Two days of on-court activities highlight the six-day event and ESPN will broadcast eight hours of coverage on Thursday and Friday (3-7 p.m. ET on ESPN2). Here's what you need to know about the combine from a Celtics perspective:

• Banner 18: Given that many of the top draft prospects will skip the combine and others will bypass the 5-on-5 on-court work, Boston will do most of its heavy lifting at its hotel. Boston can interview up to 18 players for 30 minutes apiece. As Celtics coach Brad Stevens said at last year's combine: "The best part is the interviews. That’s my own personal opinion. You know a lot about these guys as players and we’ve seen them play ... the basketball stuff is good, but there’s not as much that’s unknown out here right now. But getting in those rooms and interviewing, I think it’s good, even though you only get 30 minutes."

• Setting up visits: With about 60 draft hopefuls under one roof, the Celtics will use the combine to help set up their team workout visits. Boston puts draft hopefuls through their own set of tests and measurements and finds those far more helpful than what will emerge from the combine. The hard part there is simply getting every player that the team wants to study to visit Waltham over the next month (all while matching them up with other draft hopefuls that might provide good competition). Director of player personnel Austin Ainge, who typically arranges the team's draft workouts, can use Chicago to fill up the team's schedule in the month before the draft.

• Tipping his hand?: Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge did an on-camera interview with ESPN during last year's combine and raved about Marcus Smart. A little over a month later, Boston snagged Smart with the No. 6 pick. OK, so it just so happened that the ESPN broadcast was discussing Smart at the time, but maybe Ainge will again offer a hint this week about a prospect that Boston could be eyeing.

• Don't focus on draft position: The Celtics currently own pick Nos. 16, 28, 33, and 45 in this year's draft. While the natural inclination would be to suggest that they'd focus in on players who will be available in those spots, remember that Boston will use the combine to chat with players who will be off the board by that point. This is sometimes the only chance to sit down with a draft hopeful and Boston will utilize this time to get a better grasp on a player -- whether that's for moving around the board on draft night, or simply having a better feel in case they pursue a player down the road.

• A piece of the puzzle: Unlike the NFL draft combine where a 40-yard dash can seemingly make or break a prospect, the NBA combine won't likely cause any seismic shifts on draft boards. We'll fawn over prospects with big hands or large wingspans and maybe a mid-to-late first-round prospect will get a boost from the 5-on-5 action. What's more likely is that the combine will be just another piece of the information puzzle for teams in advance of June's draft. The heavy lifting has already been done, but every bit of information helps to increase the chances of making a smart decision when your team is on the clock.

Sort of like speed dating with step stools.  And "stools" is not some sort of pun aimed at the annual crap shoot.
