NBA Combine Results

[gossie21]

I was just looking over at DraftExpress with some of the combine results.

They have results for the Top Vertical (no step)

3. Malik Monk 36.5"
5. De'Aaaron Fox 34"
7. Bam Adebayo 33.5"
16. Hamidou Diallo 29"
27. Isaac Humphries 24.5"

I am shocked that Diallo's veritcal was that bad (relatively speaking). His athleticism was supposed to be his calling card.

Diallo's rep is he can jump out of the gym. Wonder if that is an error or he has an injury?

Yikes...29" for Diallo is awful

 

[Ron Mehico]

I thought Monk wasn't competing in the combine?

 

[Smashcat]

One NBA executive believes that Kentucky's Hamidou Diallo is without question the best athlete at the combine. Something to monitor. #BBN

I have reputable sources who told me that kyups sneaked into the combine and changed the 3 on Diallo's vertical measurement to a 2 so he falls out of the draft.

Link for the measurements??

 

[DerekMcPwn]

Humphries' vert is about 18 inches higher than I expected.

I hope Hump eventually makes it. That will be funny as hell to see him in the NBA when he's around 30 and looking like a totally different person.

 

[GonzoCat90]

Some guys are just bad off of no steps or incredibly good off of a step.

I also think Diallo is a bit like Shabazz Muhammad was in that he's so long and sudden that he "looks" like he's jumping higher than he is. Still an incredible athlete, but the numbers don't show it as much as the eye test might.

Could also be a factor that he hasn't done this kind of thing before. A lot of these drills, like the 40 yard dash in the NFL, for example, are about technique and repetition as much as speed or athleticism. Diallo wasn't here for our combine, and likely hasn't trained for such an event, whereas our guys have. That's valuable experience.

Still, if he doesn't test well, that helps the odds that he comes back, because his athleticism is supposed to be the given, reliable part of his equation, with scouts banking on his skillset and motor catching up to his natural gifts to warrant the risk.

his frowning face is awesome

Everyone at combine goes through measurements and these solo reach and vert type things. Only some play ball at the combine.

 

[BassProCat]

Link? Plz

 

[Jkwo]

No step versus running vert are two different animals - might be that he's known for the other one.

 

[Cats192]

I can't find these numbers anywhere on the internet

That vertical is from 2015. Testing at the combine doesn't start until tomorrow

 

[Aike]

You sure those aren't old numbers? That was Diallo's vertical from 2 years ago.

lololol this is great.

It's also his no step vert. His max vert from that is 34.5". Nobody uses no step vert either

 

[Cats192]

I read somewhere Diallo only had an 18 inch vert in the 3rd grade. Should prolly go back to Kentucky.

 

[gossie21]

It was on the DraftExpress homepage earlier today when I looked it up (www.draftexpress.com). Now it's only showing the 2016 results.

It's possible that the list was for existing measurements.

 

[GonzoCat90]

I searched just now and apparently Canyon Berry has a 38'5'' no step vertical, so if Wesley Snipes ever gets out of prison, there's a remake to cash in on.

No-step vert seems like a valuable metric for a center.

Its funny because they haven't done the vertical at the combine yet. Everything on there was from camps and all star games. All athletic testing will take place tomorrow and friday.

 

[CalCat57]

Thread of the week. Voting has just closed.

 

[Supafuzz75]

I could barely touch the bottom of the net standing vertical.. Running go could get both hands on the rim.. Never could jump off one leg though..

I have seen mock drafts with him getting drafted in the late 2nd round . I bet that doesn't happn but it could. I think he will be in the NBA in 3 years. He is 18 now so he would be 21 not 30 . Most people forget just how young he is .

 

[Cawood86]

So what have we learned from this thread?

I wasn't saying I hope he gets in the NBA at the age of 30. I said I hope he gets in the NBA and down the road it will be fun to see him at the age of 30, if he's still in the NBA, looking totally different.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

I hear Diallo is declining to leap, or stand still to be measured, on the grounds he might hurt his draft status. He has also refused to lift his arms over his head, to avoid damaging his reputation for having a good standing reach, and is wearing size 19 clown shoes to keep from divulging the true size of his feet.

I would've thought Diallo would be a lot more. Is this right.?

 

[Blue_2_the_bone]

Old measurements and I'm sure they're higher now. They do use standing vertical jump to evaluate athletes. Standing vertical and Max vertical are the two best methods of measuring maximum power output and explosiveness. You can see why when you compare NBA and NFL combine tests. Crazy to think some linemen out jumped Blake Griffin at their respective combines. No wonder there are so many injuries now.

Its because he has a gigantic wingspan...it makes up for lack of vertical

And purposefully walking very fast. Everyone knows slow walkers get drafted first.

Diallo's wingspan makes his leaping/vertical appear much better. But still surprising
Sorry didn't see previous comment.

 

[gossie21]

Apparently it is an old measurement. It still seems really low for someone with a reputation as a freak athlete even if it is old.

 

[Mr_GG]

^ Proof that kyups changed his vertical results. But seriously, it doesn't matter how long your wingspan is, I don't think you're going to be doing stuff like this with just long arms:
