Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the standing vertical at the NBA combine is the same as the vertical jump at the NFL combine right?

Max vert is when they get a running start, and they don't do that at the NFL combine.

If that's the case, these NBA prospects got some weak ass verticals. I'm seeing a lot of sub 30 verts. Anything under 33 is :flabbynsick:

True.

And these dudes barely need to get off the ground to dunk, so doubt many of them are putting a big priority on getting their verts up. It's just mindblowing to see such mediocrity.

In-game athleticism and these vert test that these players learn to game are not the same thing.

Been on the Lonzo stan wagon since last year but the lakers need to take a hard look at Josh. Lonzo has some undeniable scary faults. Not saying Josh doesn't with his shooting too but Lonzo has more glaring holes in his game than Russell or Ingram did at pick 2 imo. But if he hits he's gonna be a monster

Jayson Tatum number 1? I like it. I don't think u need a point guard. Thomas, Smart,and Bradley are fine. You draft to beat Cleveland.

Lakers winning the #2 pick three years in a row.

I mean, really......What's the odds of that happening?:patrice:


Why don't they just stop fukking around and give them the #1 overall pick:martin:



Philly in the top 3 four years in a row? The NBA is too obvious with this shyt.


Meanwhile, the Suns just happen to move down in every draft....come on, now!:beli:
