Aren't they done on the first day of camp? When do they get released?
 
I thought it was at the end of the pre-draft camp. Not sure though.
 
I think pre-draft measurements are this friday, I'll try to find a link.
 
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The 2008 NBA Pre-draft camp rosters give a good indication as to who the NBA feels are the top prospects in the upcoming NBA Draft. The 2008 pre-draft camp is in Orlando, Florida from May 27-30 and features drills and games, plus official measurements taken of player heights, weights, etc. InsideHoops.com is in Orlando and will provide full coverage of every aspect of the camp.</div>

The camp finishes tomorrow, most likely it will be released soon after.
 
it's supposed to be released today. In one of the various articles I read today is something interesting about Beasley. There were worries that even though he was listed from 6'9"-6'10" coming into camp he looks like we might measure out to be about 6'7". If this is the case what do you think are the chances that Miami uses this as another reason to swing in favor or Mayo at the #2 pick. If it shows that he is 6'7" does he get shifted to the SF position on many team boards? How happy would Minnesota be if Beasley fell to them?

Who cares about his height if he has a long standing reach and wingspan?

Imo if Beasley goes #1 the Heat might take Mayo over Rose but if Beasley isn't taken #1 I don't see him falling past #2.
 
Jordan's wingspan is huge. So is Reiks.

Josh Duncan is another sleeper who might do well.

How is height not important? How else will players block shots with their faces?

Height takes the length of someone's neck or head into account and not arm length. A player can be 6'10" with little T-Rex type arms and another player can be 6'7" with a massive wingspan.

Also, vertical and timing have more to do with block shots than length.

I'm guessing (hoping) that you didn't read the second part of the post.
 
Quick question.. who the hell is Longar Longar and why did his parents torcher him by naming him that?


Damn I'm very impressed by Kevin Love's numbers. Running to floor faster than Randolph, good strength on the bench press, aand a good vert for a chunky white guy. I guess he really did slim down and make himself better. I wanna see a picture or video of him recently (no homo)
 
Jesus, Alexander is a beast physically. He sprints faster than some points, is more agile than some points, benches more than anyone in the draft and is known as a skywalker.
Everyone raves that Alexander is a gym rat. If he could also develop his game and defense in particular, I'd LOVE to have him.

Seriously, I know NJ isn't looking at him a lot, but physically he's a beast.
 
Pat Ewing is the greatest leaper! And he even did two more reps than Durant did last year.
And good luck trying to post up Stan Burrell. That guy anit moving.
 
I think Alexander has a huge amount of potential. I've watched him play many many times last season and the dude has the potential to be a great player. He's smaller but has some post game, he's fast, athletic, blocks shots/rebounds and while his jump shot isn't going to wow you in a workout he can hit them in games at a good %. Give him a good shooting coach and watch out.

There's our problem..

Wow Lopez got a 9-5 size reach, that's crazy!!!Also DeAndre was supposed to be a big time athlete wasn't he?

Eh, there's a difference. We don't have shooters, but that doesn't mean our team is horrible "at" shooting. Look at it: Krstic had a very sweet stroke before the injury. Jason Kidd's shooting improved for a bit after he worked with Thate. RJ has been improving in the shooting department, it was especially noticeable this year. Carter is becoming a very solid shooter in his own right. Our bench has been able to hit a few jumpers for the past few years, despite most of them being defensive minded. You can't blame Thate for Boone's free throws.

Maybe they improved on their own, but I wouldn't say our team has in any way regressed shooting wise. Thorn has done a horrible job at finding natural shooters, besides House, there hasn't been a good shooter in NJ since Kittles, Van Horn and Harris packed their bags.

How come no CDR or Rush? Do they not measure everyone in Orlando?</div>
CDR and Rush aren't super athletes so this can only hurt their draft stock.

Smart move.

Not really a smart move. They'll still get measured at private workouts, so it's moot.
 
SOOOO now that we know the "measurements.... What now?? Did this change anyone's view on the players?
 
John Riek? legit 7 footer with a 7'8.75" wingspan?!?!? Ya gotta be shittin me!

I didn't think Mayo had a higher vert than Bayless. 3" diff? wasn't expecting that.

Love helped his stock alot, dropping weight along with good strength & speed numbers along with a great vert (35"?!?!)

DeAndre Jordan doesn't look as good as advertised. Super-athletic? Not 7' (even with shoes on)? standing vert of 26" and Max vert of 30"? Doesn't sound explosive to me
