Ray has body fat?

 

[Seymore Cox]

How is Cade "two left feet" Davis showing up on all these athletic measurable test. He must have not got the memo that he's unathletic.

 

[OUHoosier]

Andrew Fitzgerald: 7 feet, 2 inches

Wow. Rebounding machine.

 

[Seymore Cox]

I'm stronger than all these guys. I'm throwing up 225 19 times. Now if I could just lose about 10 more lbs.

 

[Cheno]

I'm impressed with Ryan Wright's verticals. That's hard to do for a guy his size.

Hey Dirty, just noticed your new quote is about me. How nice. I'm flattered.

T.J. Franklin is showing up on them too. Wanna bet how many meaningful minutes he sees on the court this year?

 

[SoonerfanTU]

I've been worrying about Fitz' size some. With that wing span, he'll be fine.

My thoughts:

Andrew Fitzgerald- I dont care if he is 6'5'', he will be fine with a 7'2'' wingspan.

Tony- Wow, 43 inch vertical. We never really see that because he cant handle the ball, thus we never see him making big plays at the rim.

Barry- Strongest guy on team, good shooter at 6'8'', over 7 foot wingspan. NICE!

Willie- First he never makes any lists voted on by the team (hardest worker, leader, etc) and now he is pretty unimpressive with the physical stuff. He must be one of those guys that is awesome when the lights turn on.

 

[Sam]

Andrew Fitzgerald- I dont care if he is 6'5'', he will be fine with a 7'2'' wingspan.

If Fitz is only 6'5 then Crocker is only 6'3 or 6'2.

WW went took a full minute off of his mile time within a couple of weeks. That tell me he probably didn't go all out at first.

Ummmm.... does anyone else think some of these numbers aren't quite accurate? The max vertical, in particular, looks dubious. Why do I say this? Tony Crocker's max vertical would be the second best EVER at the NBA combine. TMG's would be up with Johnny Flynn's as the best last year.

Honoré is up with Blake Griffin on the bench press, and has a longer wingspan...

Orlando Allen's wingspan would only have been behind Thabeet's in last year's draft.. and Fitzgerald's height and length are EXACTLY like DeJuan Blair's (!!!!!) I would have liked to see his leap and bench numbers...

The numbers are dubious. good point. Kinda like College 40 times. But they're accurate as far as who's the best at those test on the team. At their practice gym site they have handprints of the higest mark touched on the backboard from last year. Those numbers are pretty much identical to these.

If they are inaccurate, then it is a flaw in the testing and not a fudging of the numbers. Houck takes a lot of pride in having his measurables be accurate.

 

[campbest]

Crocker has a 44" vert?

I dunno about that.

 

[OsoonerU]

You cannot compare the vertical numbers with a running start off one foot, to the NBA testing numbers. They do the NBA vert tests off two feet with one step.

Tony Crocker's NBA tested vertical would be 37.4 according to these numbers, not 43.5

 

[elmocarp]

Crocker has a 44" vert?

I dunno about that.

They have a video up of the test, and Crock hits 12'2" on the backboard.

 

[McJacknife]

Tony Corker's NBA tested vertical would be 37.4 according to these numbers, not 43.5

(...but he's not a Corker)

 

[playmakr]

I've been worrying about Fitz' size some. With that wing span, he'll be fine.

Plus, he is a hoss down low.

 

[DenverSooner]

Plus, he is a hoss down low.

That is what matters most. Byron Houston was just fine in college as PF. Abercrombie was fine. There have been many undersized power forwards in college that have excelled and a few in the NBA.
