Why do we have the same thing 3 times over? And, couldn't you at least format it so it was readable? Edit: Thanks. It looks much better.
It's very difficult to format tables on the message board. Believe me. I for one am happy for the numbers. I was waiting for these. Edit: Whoa. It's been reformatted. It looks much better now. Shows what I know, I guess. Edit again: That second column should be "No step". As in vertical from a standing start.
Crap. Combine this along with the analysis from 82games, and Brewer might actually be selected before 8th.
Redick's speed and quickness numbers are pretty good. And his vertical isn't that bad either. I still prefer Brewer by a lot, and possibly even Carney, but those are good numbers for Redick.
All that means is that a draft that goes 6 deep would go 7 deep instead. As long as Sheldon goes #5 to Atlanta then we're guaranteed one of the following: Gay Roy Thomas Aldridge Morrison Bargnani Brewer I'll take any of these guys at #8.
between brewer and carney it's looking more and more like brewer is head and shoulders the better pick.
I reformatted it. The trick to posting tables on the BBS -- there can't be any line breaks in your HTML code. BAD: HTML: <table> <tr> <td>YO!</td> </tr> </table> GOOD: HTML: <table><tr><td>YO!</td></tr></table>
I am just hoping he is there now. He was already recognized as a better player than Carney, but his athleticism is now rocketing (no pun intended) him up the charts.
Damn. Brewer the best athlete on there. I doubt we will get him now, but if we do, looks like a hell of a pick.
Damn...42" vertical is impressive What's not impressive is Tyrus Thomas. A guy like Redick gets 6 reps and all Thomas (and Aldridge) could manage was 8?
Based on the numbers and watching him play a few times, Carney reminds me a bit of Michael Dickerson. Decent outside shooter and able to get down the floor quick as hell. Does that sound off base as far as a comparison goes? I'd like more insight from people who have seen more of Carney.
Wow this is a good read! How do they measure agility? I must say I like Brewer more and more now. Reddick doesn't look too bad either.
The thing I dislike about these rankings are that they don't put height or weight into account. That's why guys like Luther Head and Troy Bell can finish as the "top athletes" and Rudy Gay can finish 26th. Also, it hurts guys like Patrick O'Bryant and Lamarcus Aldridge, who are actually very good athletes for their size but are being compared to much smaller athletes who are naturally quicker.
