I knew Liddell had a crazy standing vert... 35" best in class so far. Dude is going in the lottery. Just like Chris Duarte last year. He is a freak version of Tucker or Grant Williams.
Former future lottery pick Patrick Baldwin had a 26.5" max vertical and a 23.5" standing vertical. That sounds.... horrible. His is the lowest max vertical so far at the combine from what NBA.com says. I had to check on some of the lowest in history and Mike Smith had a 21" max vertical at the combine, but a 33" standing vertical. I don't even know what's going on there. Did he have a blowout on the max?
240 for a legit 7fter barefoot, with his frame, really isn’t that big… Gobert is listed at 260 now, I’ve never heard of stamina issues with him, and clearly he has a very low body fat % still
Sometimes I wonder about body fat measurements at combines. Same thing for the NFL. It's ridiculously hard to be that low. Even for an elite level athlete you have to be focused on staying that low. I see sub 5 reported alot and there's no way. People look really shredded at below 10%. 5 and below is ludicrous
He’s there but he’s not testing. Don’t know where that guy is getting his info unless he’s talking about the Duke in house combine. Which is………….known to be a little exaggerated
For the record, Paolo doesn't have the guts to step on a scale at the combine for fear of messing up the numbers. Since some might have wondered, Shaedon Sharpe did give us a few anthro numbers: 4.8% body fat, 6'4.25 in shoes, 6' 11.5" wingspan, 198 lbs. Doesn't measure out as an NBA 3 to me. And no, he avoided athletic testing.
To be fair i think several of the top players didn’t measure or weigh in for the combine…likely at the advice of their trainers or agents.
It’s not weak and not new. It’s smart and obvious. you only measure if it will help you for sure 100%. none of the top 3 or 4 guys will benefit in any way from these measurements imo.
This dude has pissed me off and I barely know about him. Hid a whole year of comp, hid from athletic testing but does show the private trainer workouts. Some next level diva stuff
I think Sharpe was 6'5.25, no? He was an inch shorter than advertised but the 7-foot wingspan is legit. I wouldn't say his stock took a hit tbh.
my bad. I meant to type 6'4.25 without shoes (which is accurate). Whatever he likes to wear spots him another inch. He's not 6'6 210 (as nbadraft.net would say or not even 6'6 175 which is how Kevin O'Conner lists him on the Ringer.
Probably refer to his combine at Duke. If I remember correctly he was 6'10" in shoes and 7'0.5" wingspan
