Cody Zeller's standing vert of 35.5" was highest ever recorded for player 6-9 or taller in last decade. #NBADraftCombine

Gonzaga lottery bound C Kelly Olynyk stands 6' 10.75" without shoes and 7' 0" with shoes. His wingspan is 6' 9.75" and he's at 6.7 body fat.

6.7% body fat? That seems insanely low for a Center-type. Wow.

Blazers GM Neil Olshey flew to France to scout French center Rudy Gobert at the end of April. "I showed what I had to show," Gobert said.

Jason Quick ‏@jwquick 47s
Gobert had the longest wing span at the NBA Combine 7'8.5", but was less-than-impressive in his leaping - 25 standing vertical, 29 max vert

Oladipo comes in with a MONSTER 42" max vertical. Highest since Josh Selby and Iman Shumpert in 2011.

Chad Ford ‏@chadfordinsider 1m
Victor Oladipo with a 33" standing vert and a 42" max vert. Wow.
 
Chad Ford ‏@chadfordinsider 51s
Allen Crabbe. 30.5" standing vert. 36" max vert. Surprising numbers for him.
 
Chad Ford ‏@chadfordinsider 49s
Reggie Bullock 31" standing vert. 36.5" max vert. #NBADraftCombine

Jason Quick ‏@jwquick 1m
Maryland center Alex Len said he has no interviews scheduled with Portland at the combine.

Jason Quick ‏@jwquick 29s
Gobert said he is good friends with Nic Batum and recently spent time with the Blazers forward in Paris

Chad Ford ‏@chadfordinsider 12s
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. 29" standing vert. 34.5" max vert.
 
Chad Ford ‏@chadfordinsider 58s
Kelly Olynyk. 24.5" standing vert. 29.5" max vert. 3.59 sec sprint. 11.42 lane agility.

NBA Guru ‏@NBAGuru 11s
Ben McLemore skying for the max vertical, ties Oladipo for best with 42".

Chad Ford ‏@chadfordinsider 34s
Ben McLemore. 32.5" standing vert. 42" max vert. Very similar to Oladipo. #NBADraftCombine
 
Too bad Oladipo is going to be off the board by the time we pick, I have a gut feeling that guy is going to be a pretty damned good player.
 
Chad Ford ‏@chadfordinsider 18s
Tim Hardaway Jr. 31.5" standing vert. 37.5" max vert. He's having a very good day.
 
Kevin Pelton ‏@kpelton 16m
42-inch vertical for Victor Oladipo. Others w/42 or better, via @DraftExpress: N. Robinson, Claxton, Shumpert, Ewing Jr., Selby, Farmar.
 
NBA Guru ‏@NBAGuru 5s
Vander Blue, who wasn't even on the initial list of invites, testing out very well. Smells like another 2nd Round steal out of Marquette.
 
Jason Quick ‏@jwquick 1m
Duke C Mason Plumlee said he believes he will workout with the Blazers. "I'm a guy who is ready to come in and play right away," he said.

Jason Quick ‏@jwquick 32s
Plumlee touted his length and athleticism. "I'd like to be with a team that likes to get out and run," Plumlee said.

Chris Haynes ‏@ChrisBHaynes 2m
Duke C Mason Plumlee, 23, says him staying four years shouldn't be a factor, adding #Blazers G @Dame_Lillard proved everybody wrong.

Victor Oladipo didn't believe IU teammate Cody Zeller ran the 3/4 sprint faster until he heard his time. Then he said, "Let's do it again."
 
Sam Amico ‏@SamAmicoFSO 1m
Based on NBA Combine, draft stock of Indiana guys Cody Zeller and Victor Oladipo flying high. Same with Michigan's Tim Hardaway Jr.

Jason Quick ‏@jwquick 1m
By the way, the French center Gobert says his goal is to be a top 7 pick. Not sure that's going to happen.

NBA Guru ‏@NBAGuru 51s
Ben McLemore with a time of 3.27 in the sprint, good for 6th place so far.
 
NBA Guru ‏@NBAGuru 1m
Tony Mitchell just threw down an alley-oop with his head easily above the rim. Can't wait for his verticals.

NBA Guru ‏@NBAGuru 27s
Tony Mitchell just told us he's going to top the Combine-best of 42" max vert; said he's going for 44".

Jason Quick ‏@jwquick 1m
On the same trip that Olshey made to France in late April to scout Gobert, he stopped in Croatia to scout 6-10 SF Dario Saric.
 
Chad Ford ‏@chadfordinsider 50s
Oladipo 3.25 sec & McLemore 3.27 similar sprint scores. Oladipo 10.69 much better than McLemore 11.87 on agility drill #NBACombine

Rudy Gobert with a 25 inch standing vertical and a 29" max vert. Not great numbers.

This is one of those: I wonder why they care? stats. Kind of like: how tall are you to the top of your head with and without shoes? You don't play basketball with your head. It's fun trivia, but not that important. Instead of comparing how far off the ground you can get your feet, I'm more interested in how high and wide you can get your hands? How quickly can you move side to side? :dunno:

Tony Mitchell just jumped so high they had to put something under the bar to raise it. pic.twitter.com/Pvfg1BUAii

Cine: Tony Mitchell's 38" max vertical in GIF form. #NBACombine #loop http://cinemagr.am/show/151718964 #loop

Chad Ford ‏@chadfordinsider 1m
Tony Mitchell. 33.5" standing vert. 38" max vert. Great numbers for a power forward. That + solid measurements help his 1st rd cause

I'm always interested in the hand size. Mbakwe has the biggest hands in this draft class at 11.5 in wide. Schroeder has huge hands for a PG (10.5"). Muscala has surprisingly small hands for a center at 9 inches.
 
ESPN Stats & Info ‏@ESPNStatsInfo 40s
Cody Zeller tied Joakim Noah for the highest max vertical jump by a 7-footer (in shoes) in the last 10 NBA Draft Combines.
 
Chad Ford ‏@chadfordinsider 14s
Victor Oladipo told us he bench pressed 185lbs 15 times. Great number for a guard.

Someone was asking a few weeks ago who the next Pac 12 SG sleeper would be.......Crabbe could be the answer.
 
Chad Ford ‏@chadfordinsider 2m
Murray State's Isaiah Canaan looking impressive in PG drills right now in 2-on-2 action. #NBACombine

On the flip side, the less a big center leaves the ground, the less chance he will have in getting hurt. (No that is not a proven fact, just makes sense to me)
 
NBA Guru ‏@NBAGuru 1m
After watching Siva, Pressey, and McCallum fly for some nasty dunks a minute ago, think they could challenge the 42" max vert best

Jeff Goodman ‏@GoodmanCBS 56s
Phil Pressey and point guards set to do vertical. Pressey said he has gotten 43 in past. Oladipo had 42 earlier today.
 
Chad Ford ‏@chadfordinsider 15m
Small Forwards taking the floor and no Shabazz Muhammad today.
