Built Ford Tough Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I figured I'd make a new thread for this since the athletic testing (along with measurements) are really the two things that fans find the most interesting about the combine now. Here the top 10 and bottom 5 for each test. Standing Vertical Jump Ten Best Harrison Barnes 38.0Damian Lillard 34.5Festus Ezeli 34Miles Plumlee 34Marcus Denmon 33.5Darius Johnson-Odom 33.5Arnett Moultrie 33.5Jeff Taylor 33.5Bradley Beal 33.0Perry Jones 33.0Darius Miller 33.0Jordan Taylor 33.0 Five Worst John Henson 25.5J'Covan Brown 26Henry Sims 26.5Scott Machado 27Mike Scott 27 Harrison Barnes' 38" standing vert is the 4th best ever recorded in DX database.

The Regime Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) Jared Sullinger has been really overhyped in college imo. Wasnt the dude a sure lottery pick at one point? I just cant see his game transitioning to the NBA level. He's too overweight and has no athleticism. Edited June 12, 2012 by Simba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Oh yeah, I forgot to mention a couple things in my first post. - Anthony Davis, Tomas Satoransky, Royce White and Dion Waiters did not participate in any of the athletic tests. - Jared Cunningham only did the bench press. - Kim English, Kyle O'Quinn and Kendall Marshall didn't participate in the bench press for various reasons (Marshall because of his elbow and wrist injury suffered in the NCAA tournament). - John Henson skipped some of the speed and agility testing due to an ankle injury.

Owner Real Deal Posted June 12, 2012 Owner Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Jared Sullinger has been really overhyped in college imo. Wasnt the dude a sure lottery pick at one point? I just cant see his game transitioning to the NBA level. He's too overweight and has no athleticism.He's still a lottery pick. I'm not sure why he would fall out of the top 14. His freshman year, though, he was in the top five for quite a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) Barnes had himself a damn good showing. Edited June 12, 2012 by ChosenOne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AboveLegit Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Jared Sullinger has been really overhyped in college imo. Wasnt the dude a sure lottery pick at one point? I just cant see his game transitioning to the NBA level. He's too overweight and has no athleticism.I disagree wholeheartedly. Public perception seems to be that Sullinger won't produce because he's not athletic and will struggle against lengthier opponents. He's 6'9 with a 7'1 wingspan, so we can all put that argument to rest. If you ask me, he's the most polished player in the draft. His post skills are so advanced for a kid his age, the way he establishes position in the paint is NBA ready, and his face up game has improved since his freshmen year. He may not have great lateral quickness, but he uses his high bball IQ and instincts when playing help D, and knows how to push players away from the rim. The fact that he's probably going to a fringe playoff team is very assuring because he will be able to produce from day 1 without being the focal point. BTW, he's far from overweight, he weighed in at 268lbs at the combine just now. He dropped roughly 22lbs since his freshmen season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 PJ3 still gets my award for absolutely freakish physical abilities. 6'11.5", 234 pounds with a 4.6% body fat, 7'1.75" wingspan, 8'11" standing reach with a 38.5" vert and 3.19 3/4 court sprint. Just ridiculous. Drummond is a close second, but PJ3 really is something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunkinDerozan Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Very impressed by Barnes. He seems to be near the top in nearly every category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
