Recap

While all eyes were on the two five-on-five scrimmages being played in front of coaches, scouts and NBA front-office personnel, Notre Dame's Pat Connaughton stole the show during the drills.
Andy Bailey of Bleacher Report has more:
The NBA Draft on Twitter added:
On the court, a few players showed off their potential in the first five-on-five matchup, per Chad Ford of ESPN. He also shared the box score:
While the first game was a chance for some second-round talents to show off their stuff, a slew of more recognizable names competed in the second five-on-five. Ford passed along the numbers for that contest as well:
A few players showed off their skills in that one, none of them more than UTEP's Vince Hunter, who scored 18 points and nabbed 12 rebounds (nine of them offensive). UC Santa Barbara's Alan Williams (12 points, 15 rebounds, two blocks) and Kentucky's Andrew Harrison (17 points, five assists) also shined for the losing side.
It wasn't just the stat-stuffers who impressed on the day, however. Virginia's Justin Anderson showed good athleticism in the drill and reportedly generated buzz for himself, per Jason McIntyre of the Big Lead:
And while ESPN Radio's Ryen Russillo tried not to put too much stock into the proceedings, he enjoyed watching one player in particular:
Of course, a number of the top prospects in the draft didn't participate in many of the drills or play in the five-on-five contests. It makes sense—a player like D'Angelo Russell likely couldn't help himself much in a scrimmage, considering he's likely to be a top-four pick, according to many prognosticators, including NBADraft.net, but he could hurt his standing.
Of course, folks have been gushing about Russell enough that his stock should remain high. And he certainly resembled another star point guard in the NBA, at least in his measurements, per ESPN Stats & Info:
Russell's game is much different from Wall's, of course, but a team drafting Russell would love if he had a Wall-esque impact.
In general, however, Thursday was about late first-round prospects or potential second-rounders improving their stock, showing off their athleticism and perhaps answering major questions scouts and coaches have about their game.
And for teams, this part of the draft process is all about trying to uncover a diamond in the rough and finding a real steal later in the draft. It remains to be seen if any prospects in action Thursday convinced teams they can be that guy.
