2014 Draft Combine

[Revolution 9]

Trey Burke didn't have to wait his turn, and neither will Jabari.

barefoot

randle 6ft 7 3/4
gordon 6ft 7 1/2
smart 6ft 2
exum 6ft 4 1/2


basically i was right on all of them except gordon. i predicted gordon to be 6ft 7 even ish. gordon came in tall. bravo. i'll take any of these guys except smart. trey & smart would be smallest backcourt in the league. i don't like small back court

payne athletic, 6ft 9 barefoot, and skilled player.

this guy should move up on draft board.

vonleh is 6ft 8, but man love that wingspan and ginormous handsize.


anyway boozer and randle are same height except boozer has bigger wingspan and reach. oh well, boozer is still soft

 

[Fabtrey]

Smart at 6'3" with a 6'9"+ wingspan is impressive. The 227 isn't surprising - he's a monster, but he carries it well.

Also Kyle Anderson at close to 6'9" with the ability to play some point is solid.

smart has a wide shoulder. standing reach is only 8ft 3.

Please provide a link(s) to your post(s) in which you predicted the heights of these individuals.

Also I will never understand why anybody posts barefoot height numbers. The NBA lists their height with shoes and they play in shoes - or at least I've never seen a guy play in a Nba game barefoot.

the Dwight Howard Derrick Favors comparisons remind me of this. They have virtually the same measurables, as far as height, length, vertical jump are concerned. But is as clear as day that Favors is no where near Dwight when it comes to in game explosiveness. He's not getting his head up near the rim, hes not even close to as quick a jumper. Combine results are less than ideal when it comes to measuring athletic ability.

dwight was couple of years younger. dwight became a better athlete in his early 20's. packed on more muscle too

The barefoot heights give us a constant though. Not all shoes are the same height and there's always the rumors that players where bigger shoes to get taller.

ESPN Stats & Info ‏@ESPNStatsInfo 1m
Marcus Smart measured 6'2" and 227.2 lbs at #NBACombine. He's the heaviest player at 6' 2" or shorter in NBA Combine history.

too heavy. needs to play at 218lb ish. he would be much more explosive.

Bloody freakin' hell; if he's going to draft a top-5 player and sit him on the bench, then I'll be leading the torch and pitchfork mob. Why did he just get rid of Corbin if the plan is to lather, rinse and repeat?
And why are they interviewing McDermott? There's likely no way to jump up from #23 to get him. Is there a plan in place to trade back? Or to take him at #7 if they fall that far?
With this and the coaching search., Lindsey has made my "watch" list. Seems like he's headed in the wrong direction.

See the sig.

It is too soon to know about Lindsey. Even after the draft we won't know that much. I am much more interested to see what kind of vets we add. I think that is what will show us Lindsey's true colors.

i ain't gonna look for it. it's in the draft thread. i basically said all year long randle is most likely 6ft 7 1/2 to 6ft 7 3/4. i said if he comes in at full 6ft 9 then pick him and don't even think twice about it. i'm almost always within 1/2 inch. good eyes i guess.

barefoot is important because you don't wear same shoes. some shoes like bron x give you more lift. it's the constant. and that's the only height that should matter.


anyway, randle is 4. he ain't 3. not at all. dude is 250lb. he is a POWER FORWARD. POWER. that's what he has.

gordon is a perfect swiss army knife. he will be versatile enough guard 3 and 4.


flip a coin. i like both.
