Shocking Draft Measurements

Without the ball, straight down the court sprint, why not? Let's add dribbling and changing directions to that, and it's a whole different story

Paul and Ellis seem a lot faster without the ball as well.

Unfortunately, wingspan does not equate to IQ...Humphries is about two standard deviations away from being an exceptional player.

Depends how you run. Some people look slow when running but they cover a lot of ground. I haven't really analyzed how these guys run, but in just a foot race, it's very possible for Lee and Williams to beat Paul and Monta. It wouldn't neccesarily look like that on the basketball court though.

Not if you are 6'10, with a tiny chest, yet still boasting a 7'5 wingspan.

I think if you train for it, it should not be hard no matter your body type. Bodyweight is not particularly difficult if you train seriously and for most of these guys it is well less than bw.

Also the form required in combines is not particularly strict and these guys do want to be professional athletes.

6'10 wingspan, 8'11.5 standing reach......

I meant the part about Smush Parker having almost the same standing reach.

Marvin Williams tested out pretty impressive on paper which is why I have and still am holding on to high hopes for the kid.

But man he doesn't look like he's nearly as fast as his 3/4 court sprint

Farmar was very quick during the tests as well, while didn't quite prove it on the court, despite being better in this regard recently.
