CHICAGO -- The NBA draft combine is in the books. We already chronicled who helped themselves in the first day of 5-on-5s, interviews and here, and we've broken down how players fared in the measurements.

And on Monday our Big Board 10.0 breaks down the buzz from Chicago for everyone in our Top 30.

To wrap up Chicago, here's a comprehensive look at the 10 players who helped themselves the most this week who didn't make our Big Board cut based on the feedback from NBA scouts and GMs at the event.


1. Rakeem Christmas, PF, Sr., Syracuse

Christmas was the leading scorer at the combine, averaging 19.5 PPG, 6 RPG and 1.5 BPG in about 27 minutes per game. Christmas showed the ability to score both inside and outside and his measurements, particularly a 7-foot-5 wingspan, a 9-2.5 standing reach and weight (246 pounds), all put him in the category of NBA center. Christmas was projected as a late second-rounder before the combine. I think he's going to be one of the first picks off the board in the second round now after talking with scouts.
