Barnes, Plumlee (!), Denmon, Moultrie, Leonard (in strength) among the combine studs--

Barton and Henson (in almost everything), Nicholson, Sullinger, Austin Rivers (1 bench press!) among the duds.

[ManUp]

Harrison Barnes also tested as one of the best Athletes in the draft, better than MKG. Can't see MKG going before him after this. Barnes is going to make a lot of people look foolish if he slides.

[bruinsandceltics]

Austin Rivers sure that Lotto Promise will last anymore?

Jeez that is pathetic. 1 rep?

[snively]

What's up with Will Barton placing with all the chunky big men in the speed tests?  Bad breakfast burrito?

[Mr October]

Interesting that Henson can't jump. Thats a problem for a skinny shot blocker. I wonder if he'll slide out fo the top 10.

Harrison Barnes also tested as one of the best Athletes in the draft, better than MKG. Can't see MKG going before him after this. Barnes is going to make a lot of people look foolish if he slides.

The difference between the 2 players reminds me of the difference between Vince Carter and Paul Pierce. One has superior athletic skills and plays above the rim. The other has serious guts and is a warrior who plays below the rim.

very true, there are some guys with amazing physical skills who don't translate them to there on the court game.

In case anyone was wondering, Festus Ezeli had the highest no step vertical reach, at 11' 10".  We need someone like that.

[mctyson]

Jae Crowder is under 6'5"....what position is he gonna play?

[Eddie20]

That's shocking! I expected him to be one of the better leapers. What happens to his leaping ability if he gains that much needed weight? Major red flag for me.

[Yoki_IsTheName]

Man, Harrison Barnes is more athletic than I thought.

If Charlotte passes on him at number 2, they better get MKG.

[rondohondo]

Johnson-Odom,Marcus Denmon and Jeff Taylor seem to be in a lot of the top 5's on that list.

I know Johnson-Odom was a very solid player at Marquette (will be a second round pick)and Taylor is a defensive minded wing, but don't know anything about Denmon. Does anyone have any info on him ?

[arambone]

Henson had an ankle injury, and stopped doing the athletic drills after he did the vertical jump.

[ManUp]

In case anyone was wondering, Festus Ezeli had the highest no step vertical reach, at 11' 10".  We need someone like that.

No Miles Plumlee did at 12'2. He also had the second best max vertical and is the fourth tallest player in this draft. He was projected to somewhere from second round to undrafted, but I think the combines will boost his draft stock greatly.
