OT: NBA Draft Camp on ESPNU

[PapaG]

Interesting to watch. David Lighty seems to have NBA range on 3s, as he just killed it in a shooting drill. LaceDarius Dunn, not so much. Poor guy missed about 6 straight from the top of the key unguarded.

Jordan Hamilton coming up next. NBAdraft.net has Portland picking him at #21.

Those are tough to watch.

Even when healthy he NEVER moved that well in a Blazer uniform.

His agility and speed #s from that predraft camp are staggering.

Oden is faster than Durant in the 3/4-court sprint, quicker in the lane-agility drill, and has better numbers in the running and standing vertical leaps. And, Oden has a mind-boggling 7.8 body-fat percentage ... most big men are north of the 12 percent range. For instance, other top-rated big men such as Washington's Spencer Hawes (13.0), Duke's Josh McRoberts (13.7) and Pitt's Aaron Gray (10.8) don't compare.

The lane agility drill, where a player runs through cones alternating between running backward, sideways and forward, is 11.67 seconds. And his 3/4 court sprint was 3.27 seconds.

The thing that jumps out is Oden's speed and agility.

We all know Oregon's Aaron Brooks is fast. Brooks finished the 3/4 court sprint in 3.2 seconds. Oden was 3.27 seconds. Durant, meanwhile, finished in 3.45.

Oden's 11.67 in the agility drill speaks volumes to the footwork so many scouts rave about. Durant did the same drill in 12.33.

Marcus Moore is one big SF. Will he be able to defend the position?

He has JBD (Jerryd Bayless disorder) - he's 6'8" with a 6'7" wingspan.

His no-step vertical is (err, was) higher than a lot of players max vert.
