Cool, thanks

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Anyone notice Andre Drummond's agility time? Lower than most guards!

If the heart and drive is there, he will be a beast. Honestly, if not he will be Greg Oden lite without the injuries

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Well, then i just noticed that Miles Plumlee's is even lower. That is some weird stuff!

 

[Wheels]

6-7 for Robinson? Fortunately the games is played in Shoes

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

And, plumlee has about 7 inches more of max vert than Drummond.

I look at it this way

Blake Griffin is about an inch taller, but Robinson's reach is an inch higher than Griffin's, and his wingspan is 4" longer. Both have identical max vert

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

I sure hope Drummond is there at #6. But I really doubt it.

as long as Robinson doesnt become the Douche that Griffin is I'm down

 

[ironcrotch]

Barnes and Lillard. 1 and 2 in the No Step Vert??? Were the other guys not trying?

If I wanted to play for a decent organization (ie, get drafted after #3) I might not quite do my 100% best.

Is that really believable though? Griffin has amazing hops. I think either he was off that day or he didn't try. I can't imagine he can't jump higher than that.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I think Robinson only helped himself with these numbers.

6'9" w/shoes 7'3" wingspan, just a shade under 11'10" max reach, which is on par with Drummond's 11'11" and Griffin's 11'8.5"...

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Kendall Marshall has a 37" vertical!?

I think these numbers are randomly generated.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Sullinger has a great feel for the game but I don't know how he's going to survive in the NBA with his severe lack of athletic ability.

His max reach of 11'4" is shockingly low for someone 6'9"

 

[RoyToy]

Sullinger has one leg 1" longer than the other

All I need to know

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

A good reason not to put too much stock in these tests?

No step vert: 26.0
Max vert: 33.5
Bench press: 0
Lane agility: 12.33
3/4 Court Sprint: 3.45
Class rank: 78

Kevin Durant.

 

[Boob-No-More]

Talk about depressing...

Oden still has the highest no step vertical reach of any player in the entire draft express database. 12'0" is 6" above the top of the square, going straight up, both feet planted, no step. Dude could have been a total monster, leading the league in blocked shots for over a decade. If only...

Durant is a freak of nature, he barely ever jumps very high or runs very fast, but he doesn't need to. His long arms and long strides make up for it.

right, you don't place too much stock in any one thing... you try to make the decision on the complete picture and these pre-draft stats are only part of that. A complete picture of Durant includes the above info + his ridiculous wingspan, that he's a dead eye jump shooter and prolific scorer, a gym rat and fine young man.

I'd be interested (if I wasn't so lazy) to see Zach Randolph's measurements....that's always been my comparison for him, albeit one of ZBo's biggest strengths is being left-handed.

Zach is a very quick leaper along with long arms and a very short neck. I don't think you can really compare the two other than being 6'8"-6'9".

 

[Run BJM]

These things aren't as perfect as people think. Kevin Love's max vert is .5" less than those two... yet you don't see him throwing down high flying dunks like them. It takes a whole different level of strength to finish through contact, explode on a dime, etc. This year I would make the distinction that Thomas Robinson looks like LeBron James when hes open and flying down the lane without and impediments. When hes at a standstill under the rim with a guy between him and the hoop, its not uncommon to see him get roofed. On the other hand a guy like Terrence Jones doesn't explode off the ground or get that high above the rim, but his ability to muscle in dunks with a guy draped all over him both on the drive or fro ma standstill is fucking NUTS.

nbadraft.net has him going at #2...

 

[Blazinaway]

well draftexpress still has Sullinger going to us at #6 (fat chance IMO!), frankly it's all a big fat guess where the next 5 go after Davis, so I really don't care what they say

You're just making crap up now. Define "quick leaper" and how you measure it.

 

[RR7]

No idea how you'd measure it, maybe secondary vertical or something, and reaction time, but he always has seemed to be good at going up more quickly than others. Prbably because he doesn't get as high off the ground.

Always hated Z-Bo, but I always hear announcers on league pass comment that he is a quick jumper

I actually think this has something to do with that perception. He gets multiple jumps in the same time as most players because he can't stay in the air as long. Also, his timing is very good, so he can get other players off their feet and then use his footwork to get his shot off with his limited vertical while they are in the air.

Z-bo has been very successful considering his limited athletic ability and measurements, but making up mythical skills like "quick leaper" is a silly reason to pick somebody like Z-bo over somebody like Sullinger.
