Tanner's Combine Showdown
Tyler Tanner, a guard who earned a spot at the NBA Combine, spent two consecutive days on the court in Chicago, testing himself against a pool of prospects.
On the opening day, Tanner managed 13 points but his night was marred by five fouls and two turnovers, while he was tasked with guarding Ja'Kobi Gillespie, who erupted for 28 points.
A Mixed Bag of Highs and Lows
The following day offered little relief; Tanner's shooting fell to 1‑for‑7, yielding just two points, though he contributed five assists and a midrange jumper that hinted at playmaking ability.
The juxtaposition of flashes of skill with glaring inefficiencies has prompted NBA executives to reconsider the guard's draft outlook, especially as Cam Carr's 30‑point explosion further eclipsed Tanner's efforts.
