James Webb III made headlines when he announced he was leaving Boise State University and declared he would be eyeing the 2016 NBA draft as a redshirt junior.

Webb has been busy since the announcement, and his since made appearances in Minnesota, Boston and most recently, Philadelphia.

Philadelphia Inquirer and 76ers beat writer Keith Pompey recently caught Webb’s most recent workout and shared his thoughts on how Webb stacks up.

"He's really athletic His shooting is an NBA skill set.  He runs like a gazelle. He was bringing the ball up and the next thing you know he hits a couple of threes." Pompey said.  "Then the Sixers head coach goes back to the president of the basketball operation, Bryan Colangelo, and their whispering in deep thought.  I would not be surprised if they brought Webb in for a second workout.”

Pompey said that Webb is lacking frame and that will be added with weight development with an NBA Team.  The Draft is set to take place on June 25th in New York.
