Head over to Draft Express to peep the results from this years nba draft combine at attack athletics in Chicago.
Some analysis:
Overall, this years draft class wasn't as impressive athletically as years past. Wesley Johnson has this year highest no step vertical jump with 32 inches, John Wall had and 30 inch vertical, and Solomon Alabi from Florida State had the lowest with 22.5 inches.
The Max vert (which is a running jump) tells a different story. Terrico White from Mississippi had the highest with 40 inches, Next was John Wall with 39 inches. That is a huge jump from his standing vert, displaying how explosive this guy is. Oklahoma's Willie Warren had a 31.5 but after this video I thought it would of been higher
Luke Harangody put up 185 lbs on the bench press 23 times. Evan Turner only put it up 9 times, and Avery Bradley had the least with 2.
This area of the combine always disappoints. Basketball players aren't known to be some of the strongest athletes, however the bench press has nothing to do with basketball strength. Kevin Durant couldn't even put 185 up once when he participated. He still looks like he can't put it up at all, but he is one hell of an athlete and basketball player. I think a new lift should be place into the combine, preferrably the power clean, to test strength and athletic ability, not just one.
Other surprises:
Demarcus Cousins had 16.4% body fat (didn't expect it to be that high)
Luke Babbit had the 5th best time in the agility drill with 10.98 seconds
Trevor Booker can run down the court the fast with a 3.10 sprint time
