Following potential 2014 draftees

Lavine reminds me a bit of MCW last year but without the maturity-game management ability (yet).

I had Smart and Gordon in the top 8, Smarts measurements I think reveal a bit why he came back, maybe he was hoping he grew an inch. the possibility that Trey and Smart could be a viable backcourt vanished when he measured 6'2" in socks. with a 6'7¼" wingspan and 36" vertical Ennis had a stronger than expected combine, im much more comfortable moving him ahead of Smart.

Gordon's measurements put him squarely in the Harrison Barnes category, but his drop in those rankings is more about the rise of Mcbuckets, Ennis and LaVine. his jump #'s were underwhelming though, 32½" no-step jump is fairly pedestrian, a half an inch more than Dante Exum, whos jump has been highly criticized

by all accounts LaVine killed it at the combine; ontop of measuring almost 6'6" in shoes, with a 6'8¼" wingspan he shot well and was jumping, this high, in drills

Slightly disappointing vertical from Lavine. There were whispers of a 48" max, and like you said not a great standing vertical. He did tally, by far, the best agility score, was top 10 in sprint, and was close to 6'6" in shoes, Id say that made up for it.

Re: the three players who skipped the combine.

Wiggins - as the consensus #1, had nothing to gain by going

Parker - who knows if he's put on 15-20 pounds. Whether he has or hasn't, the combine simply isn't where he shines. He's have a slow sprint, a slow lane agility, probably a less than impressive vertical, body fat wouldn't look good. Dude is a lock for top 4, probably near lock for #2. The combine isn't his cup o' tea.

Embiid - he's the one I worry about. If he's healthy, goes to the combine, comes in at a legit 7' or 7'1", long wingspan, jumps and runs well and proves he's in great health, he might have a shot at stealing Wiggin's #1 slot. My gut has always been, and with him missing the combine, I feel even more strongly that dude isn't healthy. I love Embiid's size, athleticism, toughness, demeanor - everything. But I don't what anything to do with an injured big man.

Im pretty scared of embiid right now too.

I heard that his agents are trying to manipulate what team he goes to and are only allowing certain team doctors to check him out
 
Sorry to be a pest but can one of you smart draft followin dudes give me a height, vert, wingspan, and standing reach comparison for alec burks, exum, lavine, and smart all in one easy to read post?
