NBA Draft Combine Athletic Test Results: John Wall - 39" vert

[Grinder]

Chad Ford posted them today.

Some impressive numbers:
Terrico White - 40" vert
John Wall - 39" vert; also the fastest in the 3/4th court sprint
Armon Johnson - 38.5" vert; benched 180 18 times
Luke Babbit - 37.5" vert - Factor that in with his 6'9" height in shoes and his lane agility test results which were .14 seconds less than John Wall and he looks like he'll have a good shot at the lottery; he also benched 180 15 times.
Stanley Robinson - 37.5" vert
Wes Johnson - 37" vert
Xavier Henry - 36.5" vert, 6'6" in shoes, 6'11" wingspan, 5% body fat, second fastest 3/4th court spring time after John Wall; and has an NBA ready body as well as being able to shoot the lights out - should be a lottery pick...he'll be a solid player.
Trevor Booker - 36" vert and put up 180 22 times
Ed Davis - 36" vert


Not so impressive:
Larry Sanders & Cole Aldrich - 28" vert
Demarcus Cousins - 27.5"
Solomon Alabi - 26" vert
Al-Farouq Aminu - 33.5" vert
Devin Ebanks - 32" vert
Sherron Collins - 33" vert and had one of the slowest lane agility times, slower than a lot of big men

I don't have insider anymore, think you could post/PM me the full results?

In what was the all-time record by quarterbacks, Tebow posted 38.5-inch leap.

I remembered one thread claiming John Wall is not as athletic as people claimed and predicted a max 37 inch vert for him lol.

Anyway 39 is very impressive. This test results are also a little weird though cause well-known dunkers like Andre Iguodala and JR Smith didnt post extremely high verts in the combine. Something like 34-35 inch if I remembered correctly

NBA combine results with no bias are A LOT more reliable than whatever number Wall's camp or whoever put out there

I don't quite see what you're getting at...which numbers are biased and which ones aren't?

[Grinder]

I wouldn't be surprised if his vert was 41 or 42" on a good day. He skidded quite a bit on his lane agility test too, probably could have had a faster time.

Luke Babbit's numbers really surprised me.

Who is to say that it wasn't a good day?

At any rate the reports of him being the most athletic PG ever were grossly exaggerated.

Can't wait to see the kid play though.

too much emphasis is put on kids who can jump high rather than guys who show good bball iq.

Either way, Wall measured taller, 4 pounds lighter, a longer wingspan, and 1" less vert, and a significantly quicker lane agility time than Rose.

Not that it matters, we'll wait to see how they do against each other.

Show me.

From what I saw Rose was faster in straight line speed, had a four inch advantage in no step vert, and was significantly stronger.

And Bball IQ is overrated....coachability is underrated.
