Players that are more athletic than people realize
Which players are more athletic than people give them credit for?
-Jeremy Lin (I believed timed faster than D-Rose/Westbrook in straight line speed with the ball)
-Sam Dekker (higher measurables in terms of wingspan/standing reach than Paul George)
-Chase Budinger (higher vert than DeRozan)

Steph Curry, for a while he gave people confidence that they can jack 3's on their way to an NBA contract because he was just "an average joe"

Re: Players that are more athletic than people realize
Pretty much anyone that is considered somewhat unathletic is pretty athletic in general, as outliners like Boris Diaw, Dirk or Curry would not be able to produce like this, if they were super limited in what they are doing. Just a different kind of athleticism .. Jumping very high is way less important than being super coordinated in vertical movement.

Re: Players that are more athletic than people realize
any white dude playing in the NBA esp at the skill positions PG/SG/SF, you guys have to realize that to be in the NBA you have to be in the 1 percentile or less of all Athletes that ever play basketball, you have to be athletic that's a prerequisite and mandatory to play this game on this level. All dudes in the NBA are great athletes compare to the average YMCA baller, yes even the white ones, lol.
