What body fat % is considered elite fitness?

This is a debatable topic, some will make that the case that it varies racially, mainly that players of African descent are expected to be a few % points less.

11% would have been 2nd worst at last years draft combine, Ryan Kelly was at 14.75%, Anthony Bennett was rumored to be around 15% but didn't get measured. The Year before that 11% is on par with Jared Sullinger, Royce White, Draymond Green and Miles Plumlee.

Body fat is measured many different ways. There is a huge variance between ways of testing. I am not sure how they test at the combine or how they tested Jabari recently but those numbers are not comparable. Even if they used the same test the interrater reliability of measuring body fat is poor. I could test you with calipers and someone else could and get numbers 5 percent different. Also I am guessing that they do not use hydrostatic at the combine. Underwater hydrostatic usually considered the most accurate where calipers are middle and bioelectronic impedence is the least accurate since it takes your hydration level into account.
 
Actually just read they use calipers and test three locations at the combine. This is not the most accurate measurement. This test can be misleading since people carry fat in different areas. It is also is not accurate if you have different testers. Each tester is going to be different from others. Nik stauskas measured 12.1 percent body fat at the combine but has consistently getting 7-8 percent using a bod pod which is far more accurate.

If the jazz have the #1 pick in a week, even the Parker fans wouldn't be happy passing up on Wiggins. But if wiggins is off the board and we're drafting with Parker still on the board, who would honestly pass up on him?

this.

im concerned about jabaris fatassness (its well documented in the colossal draft thread) but I would LOVE to pick him if wiggins be gone already.

jabari will be awesome as a stretch 4
 
I would like it to be known that Huge/Size was the only one here who have always disputed jabari's fatness.



He even backed up his claim with his PhD thesis.

Cause I don't care. He doesn't look slow or fat to me.

Low body percent fat doesn't mean you can ball.

How come you are so interested in his abs?


Why don't you look at his skill?

it only means jabari parker is better athlete than we give him credit for.

he has body of slightly undersized 4, but plays like 3.

that's special. just look at his bun buns. he has a very strong base. i like that.

what i see is a dynamic player who will be an offensive force. his defense will improve. but we all know defense is optional in today's nba. he will do just fine.
