Kansas' Josh Selby and Georgia Tech's Iman Shumpert recorded the biggest maximum vertical with a whopping 42 inches. Georgia's Travis Leslie (40½ inches) and Washington's Isiah Thomas (40) also reached or topped 40 inches. A number of other players leaped 38 or more inches in the maximum vertical jump: Kemba Walker (39½), Jimmy Butler and Shelvin Mack (39), Marshon Brooks and Norris Cole (38½) and JaJuan Johnson (38). Nikola Vucevic (25 inches) had the worst max vert in the combine.

Arizona's Derrick Williams and Richmond's Justin Harper tested as the strongest athletes in the camp. Both players bench pressed a 185-pound bar 19 times. Shumpert and Shelvin Mack were next with 18 reps. Four players -- Jereme Richmond, Tyler Honeycutt, E'Twaun Moore and Demetri McCamey -- couldn't lift the bar even one time.

In the lane agility testing, Cleveland State's Cole has the best time finishing the drill in a blazing 10.07 seconds. Andrew Goudelock, Jimmer Fredette, Scotty Hopson and Isaiah Thomas all finished in less than 10.5 seconds. Maryland's Jordan Williams finished dead last at 12.74 seconds.

In the new modified lane agility testing, Cole again had the best score finishing the drill in 5.05 seconds. Goudelock, Fredette, Brandon Knight and Cory Joseph all finished in less than 5.3 seconds. Jordan Williams again finished dead last at 6.51 second time.

In the three-quarter court sprints, Richmond led the way with a blinding 3.02-second run. Honeycutt and Knight tied for second at 3.07 seconds. VCU's Jamie Skeen was last at 3.46 seconds.

Analysis
The top ranked player in the draft, Duke's Kyrie Irving, did not participate in drills. But virtually every other top candidate in the draft did.

Arizona's Williams tested well but not off the charts. He tested with a max 34½-inch vertical, topped the draft with 19 reps on the bench press. His 3.45 second sprint wasn't very impressive. His 11.03 second agility drill was solid.

Turkey's Enes Kanter was solid in these tests, with 14 reps on the bench press but only a 32½- inch vertical. His numbers were considerably better than DeMarcus Cousins' and Greg Monroe's last year.

BYU's Fredette came out of the testing vindicated. He predicted he would show well here, and he did. His lateral quickness numbers were second only to Cole's. His 3.2 second sprint was solid. He was one of the strongest guards in the draft with 13 reps on the bench. His vertical numbers aren't great (33 inches) but overall it looks like he has the quickness and strength to play the position.

Florida State's Chris Singleton looked great with a 37½-inch vertical and a very fast 3.1-second three-quarter court sprint. Ditto for Tennesse's Tobias Harris, who looks like a much better athlete than he's given credit for with a 37½-inch vert, a 10.96-second lane agility time and 3.17-second three-quarter court sprint.

Providence's Brooks is one of the best athletes in the draft as well. His 38½-inch vertical, his 10.74 agility time and his 3.09-second three-quarter court sprint were all impressive.

JaJuan Johnson is also helped himself. His great vertical (38 inches), solid strength testing (15 reps on bench press) and his shooting numbers are all very impressive. Factor in his excellent measurements and a very solid four-year career at Purdue and I'm not sure why teams aren't higher on him.

In a bit of a surprise, Kawhi Leonard measured only a 32-inch vertical and could bench the 185-pound bar only three times.

Vucevic and Maryland's Williams both struggled in the athletic drills. VCU's Skeen, Georgia's Trey Thompkins and KU's Markieff Morris also struggled.

jajuan johnson became a lot more intriguing.

also like this guy goudelock from college of charlestown. is apparently a dead-eye shooter and there were questions about his athleticism but it looks like he can hang.

knicks have gotta get an extra pick -- while this draft isn't top heavy, i think there are definitely plenty of rotation players available from mid first and on.

http://www.nbadraft.net/players/greg-smith

Supposedly his hands are 1 foot wide!

Some more info:
http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Greg-Smith-5817/

I like his wingspan - 7'3, his low body fat, and his interview wasn't bad.

Here's an interesting snippet on him:

We made a note in our recent west coast workout report about just how big Greg Smith's hands are. Upon further review at the combine, his hands are one-foot wide, easily the top mark we've seen since the combine began measuring hands. This quantifies the way Smith (6-8 without shoes, 7-2 ½ wingspan, 252 pounds) can routinely snatch the ball out of mid-air and palm it away from his body.

Projected to go 2nd round according to NBA Draft.net

Sorry if he's been talked about before... I can't seem to find a search function on this site.

Good player. high basketball iq. A sleeper and underrated by all the mocks.

I want to say that I read a Draft Express article mentioning how this guy's stock is on the rise because of the athleticism, check out the link Juice just put out.

http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Iman-Shumpert-5156/

Would be a great pick if the Knicks had multiple high 2nd rounders.

And look at that, his agent is Happy Walters.

Derrick Williams is a Beast....he got 2 plates up 19reps....YIKES

Faried and Singleton impressed with their strength too along with Fridette and Mack(I want him)

Stocky guys do well (nate robinson)
