NBA scouts at CyHawk?

Somewhat, yes. Scouting isn't either/or with in person and film. It should always be both. They need to take a holistic approach to mitigate missing something about a player.
NBA scouts go in person to see a player's true size, athleticism, and strength, plus the intangible factors like demeanor, body language, communication with teammates, and reaction to pressure or adversity. It can reveal character and coachability vital for the NBA that video can't fully capture, reducing the organization's risk.
Film is essential for deep analysis, but live scouting confirms physicals and assesses a player's presence and mental makeup in their natural environment.
It’s just an excuse for them to get Clone Cones.

TV has a lot of odd angles and close ups where you really don't always get to see the whole floor, so if they're want to pay close attention to just a few guys in particular, I would think it would be way easier to be there in person.
Agreed and the TV broadcast doesn't just go away - you can always go back and see the broadcast view of it later to see another angle of something you saw in person. You can't go back and see the live version again.
Toure's defense is probably the high ceiling of anybody in that game at the next level. Meaning at his best he's better defensively than Stirtz/Milan/Jefferson top potential as offensive players. He's incredibly elite already this few games into his NCAA journey.
Jefferson is putting himself in the convo taking and making huge 3s. He's a undersized for NBA 4 but the way he is passing and shooting he is giving himself a real chance.
I don’t know that he’s really that undersized the position has changed in the NBA.
Is this more of a Kyle (?) Korver deal he lasted quite a while in the NBA shooting 3s.
This statement reads like AI. Not saying it is but reads like it to me.
The intangibles are just as important for most of the players, most of us can see the best players that are just truly skilled basketball players, but its the little things you cannot see on film is why they what to see them live and maybe meet the player. Is the player working hard off the ball, is he coachable, is he taking plays off or busting his ass every second the on the floor. A lot of those things you cannot see those on film.
Stirtz will get his shot at the next level, at best to me, he will become a decent back up. Jefferson will be drafted, late first or early 2nd round. Milo needs another year, in my opinion, he is less up and down than last year, but needs to learn to take it to the hoop stronger and his defense is still a work in progress. If he comes back he will be our primary scorer and we can showcase his abilities. Lipsey is going to struggle making it at the next level, very good players, but it's more hard work and effort than athletic ability, which is huge at the next level. Lipsey will need to be in the right place to have success. Hard to say right now on the younger kids, they all could use another year to show them more. Haliburton stayed two years, no sense that Toure cannot do the same, to showcase his talent.
Saw quite a few but the one that stood out the most was Nick Collison. Dude looks exactly the same as he did 20 years ago.
I think McCollum was perfectly fine with him being a decoy and it worked fairly well.
Toure may be the best on ball defender I have seen at Iowa State and we have had some good ones over the years. Looking forward to seeing him matched up against the best guard we face each game.
Jefferson has a bit of Niang and a bit of Fizer with his game. He's a little more athletic than both of them but he isnt as dominant as Fizer in the paint or as good hitting the 3 as Niang. But he fits what the NBA is looking for in a stretch 4 IMO.
Lipsey may have to work his way into the league as a 2 way player but when he is healthy he has NBA talent. Milan has NBA talent too but needs to be more aggressive and consistent. He is either red hot or hesitant to engage on a given night. Stirtz was guarding him most of the night and Milan had a size advantage but we didn't see him take advantage of that much and try to post him up or take him to the rack.

Toure, "developmental," more so than the aforementioned, NBA-speak, imho.
How he progresses throughout the season? High-high hopes.
Ugly 3 form. Hardly our first (hello, Tyrese).
Hoping for more Batemon looks.

I took a picture at the Orlando tournament a couple years back and accidentally got a scout’s phone in the bottom of it. Here’s a zoomed in shot if you could interpret the notes. No idea which org they were from because I didn’t even notice them until I was going through photos later
