Damn 39 inch vert on display.
Stone feet with the slam.

[FKAri]

Damn and hair almost at mesh level. Vince Carter WHO?

Holy shit

Just watch D'Angelo's Russell's vertical jump test. 30.5" standing vert. 39" max vert. Much better than expected.

Either this fool is hiding his athleticism or Chad Ford is a god damn Lier.
If this guy actually had a 39 inch max vert we would see him do a windmill in practice.

or more likely he doesn't like showboating and isn't comfortable playing as aggressively as he can yet on an NBA court.

So what explains his average looking hops in high school and college?

Thomas is also 5'9 while Russell is 6'5 with a 6'10 wingspan

[Marchesk]

Didn't Westbrook only have a 37.5" vertical?

Lots of guards who have nasty hops are not dunkers. Russell is obviously one of those guys. Even Ray Allen who was a total freak still didn't take it to the rack and dunk as much as he should have been doing when he was young. It's not that he wouldn't do it at all but for the tools he had, you would have expected him to do it more often. Hersey Hawkins (yes, that Hersey Hawkins) was an excellent leaper. He probably dunked 10 times in his entire career (once was on Jordan). He literally almost never dunked. So I assume Russel's vert numbers to be real but dunking isn't part of his game.

Retarded rat

[HOoopCityJones]

Kid is starting to get comfortable. Can't wait til Kobe is gone so he and Clarkson can take over for good.

[chocolatethunder]

Let's get it straight though, this was an uncontested dunk. Noel backed up and didn't even put his hands up. I'm glad Russell is playing well and I wanted the Sixers to draft him, but he hardly got up on that dunk.

This is what getting dunked on looks like
