Thanks for posting.
Othello Hunter looks amazing and stronger. By looking over his predraft measurements it says he was able to bench press 185 seven times, so I wonder how much he can do it now.

185 7 times is not that impressive, especially for an NBA forward. In fact, it's a little frighteningly low.

yeah, obviously bench press is important for nba players. Kevin Durant only benched 185lbs ZERO TIMES. and is already one of the best players in the league.

Long arms normally mean less reps on the bench press. Othello has long arms for his height.

Kevin Durant is a shooting MACHINE, and he realized the need for strength at the end of last season and started bulking up... which is coincidentally when he started being great.
Othello Hunter is not a shooting machine, and thus will need to be stronger. 185lbs 7 times is very average, and for an NBA forward, it's on the bad side. For comparison, Teague did 185 13 times, Blake Griffin did it 22 times, and Harden did 17.
