McDermott and Stauskas have the same problem, and it's not leaping ability. It's horizontal quickness. They're traffic cones.

Probably not in the discussion for "players who are more athletic than people realize," but I have to give it up for Mo Williams, who had my favorite "most athletic play from someone who isn't athletic" ever, as a Cavs fan...

This. Vert is not the only measure of athleticism. And when you're 6'7" and up I'm not super impressed by these above the rim plays I'm seeing, not sure they are even showing a ton of athleticism.

I think a lot of people underestimate just how athletic Ray Allen was to be honest.
Or even someone like Tony Parker. Allen used to have a decent bounce, and Parkers got fantastic body control and speed.
