Three things I’ve gathered about Devin Ebanks and his pre-draft process:

1) His wingspan does not exceed 7-feet, as we were told when he was at WVU, but is more like 6-9. Not that that’s anything negative, but the truth comes out when the tape measurer comes out.

2) While some of his personal, um, things are still concerning, whether or not they’ve been explained, he does impress with his professionalism. It’s basketball time when he’s on the basketball court.

3) The kid’s shooting the ball pretty well.

No. 1 won’t affect his payday. Nos. 2 and 3 will and it looks as if he’s acquitting himself nicely. Remember when upon his decision to hire an agent and go pro he said he’d focused extensively on shooting?

“I’m trying to get back in the groove, but right now everything’s working out well and I’m playing pretty well on offense,” he said. “Everyone thought I couldn’t shoot the ball well, but it’s something I’ve had to work on and I’ve been working on it for a month. Right now I’m excited about the way I’m shooting.”

I was never sure what that meant, but I always assumed since he’d benched jumpers for the majority of his sophomore year he was excited to again be shooting them and really excited to again be making them. Above all else, Ebanks prides himself on being an all-around player — defense, rebounding, passing, and scoring in different ways — and I always felt he’d humbly, if not grudgingly agreed to stop shooting to help WVU.

And that was probably the case. He showed off the old/new form at the Chicago combine late last month and made only 60 of 116 shots. His 51.7 percent was the second-worst among the 25 participants. Worst was Texas big Damion James, who shot 47.4 percent.

Look closer, though, and you’ll see Ebanks didn’t do all that badly. He was awful from 3-point range — 8-for-25 from college, 9-for-25 from NBA — but Ebanks isn’t and won’t be a 3-point shooter. Of his 56 misses, 33 were from 3-point range, which means he was a much tidier 43-for-66 from the more relevant ranges. He’s going to be a mid-range, on-the-move scorer when he’s not getting buckets off his hustle.

As for the combine’s athleticism tests, the results were probably as expected: not tremendously strong or athletic, but he has some valuable measurables despite small hands.
