While he isn't a big-name guy in the way that Rico Hines and Bobby Jackson are, Gates adds a good bit of experience to Philadelphia's bench. A veteran of 15 years at the NBA level, Gates has been on the staffs in New Orleans, Minnesota, and Sacramento, in addition to serving as a head coach in the G-League and other, less prominent pro leagues. Gates is well-traveled, with stops in Florence, Beirut, and throughout middle America, as he attempted to make a name for himself after graduating from Boise State in the late 1990s.

On Wednesday, Boise State wing and projected first-round pick Chandler Hutchison surprisingly pulled out of the draft combine behind the first reported draft promise to surface, according to Jonathan Givony of Draft Express/ESPN:
Shams Charania: Sources: Along with Mitchell Robinson, Boise State’s Chandler Hutchison has withdrawn from the NBA draft combine this week in Chicago.
In recent years, many general managers and team decision makers are spending more time with their own teams rather than aggressively scouting college prospects. I would assume every general manager in the NBA has a good grip of the players from Arizona, Duke and Michigan State this year. These schools have multiple draftable players including projected lottery picks Deandre Ayton, Marvin Bagley III, Wendell Carter Jr., Jaren Jackson Jr., and Miles Bridges. But how well does everyone know potential first-round picks like Chandler Hutchison from Boise State, Khyri Thomas from Creighton, and Landry Shamet from Wichita State? Sure, staff members who have roles that are primarily focused on scouting will know these players very well, but for most NBA teams, the combine is an opportunity for a staff to collaboratively establish their interest level in prospects. Another thing that should be noted is that the combine is likely the first time NBA head coaches are evaluating these players.
