With the NBA draft now less than a month away, things are getting serious. NBA teams are now fully engaged in the workout process, combing over combine numbers, analyzing interviews and watching film one more time.

Here's the latest from around the league:

•The fallout from the NBA combine in Chicago is still being felt. After two days of drills and intensive interviews, NBA teams finally got a hold of the athletic testing numbers on Thursday.

In theory, the numbers have very little value. This sort of testing is really used to confirm what we already know. When the testing points in the opposite direction of conventional wisdom, teams tend to favor a player's body of work over a number from a 45-minute testing session.

Take two players as a case study:

Wisconsin's Jon Leuer tested very well in Chicago. He had a 36.5-inch maximum vertical. He had a very good 10.82 second lane agility drill. He bench pressed 185 pounds 14 times. Those are great numbers for a 6-foot-11 player.
