Following Potential 2025 Draftees

I'm kind of bored with pick 5 and I'm moving on to pick 21. I really want a defensive play maker at that pick and so I'm looking at Fleming, Yaxel, Philon, Beringer, Penda, and Philon.

Delon Wright was like an 85% ft shooter in college, and I would consider him a below average shooter in the NBA. He might be the exception to the rule, but he came to mind almost immediately (although I am a big Ute fan).

Checked it out. His senior year he shot 84% and 80% as a junior, so not quite the same as 87% as a Freshman.

The other one that came to mind was Jimmer, but I had to look that one up. He was close to an 89% free throw shooter, but only shot an average 3pt% in the NBA.

I think the key here is probably wings that shot 80% ft% or higher in college and weren't good shooters in the NBA, and I can't think of any.

Jimmer was because of his shot selection/difficulty.

And I didnt say 80%. I said 87%. I think there is a pretty big difference between the two. Pretty hard to find many prospects who shoot 87% on nearly 5 attempts per game as a Freshman.

to give an idea, labaron philon was 6'4" in shoes with a wingspan of 6'6" and had the same standing reach. so he's a lot shorter, has shorter arms and had the same standing reach.
or
alijah martin who was only 6'3" in shoes, had a 6'7" wingspan and had the same standing reach.

Kobe Sanders had nearly the same height and wingspan and had a standing reach of 8'7"

So how did this dude get such a low number? It doesn't math. Cy said he flubbed it. What does that mean? How could you even flub it? Dont you just stand there and stick your arms up and get measured?

Ok, I don't really want to spend too much time looking things up to go against your larger point that I don't disagree with.

I've been saying McNeeley could be a top 5 shooter in this draft.

Just stand up and raise your hand. Then try to stretch your shoulder and reach higher. It's going to be a good 2-3 inch difference.

So this dude didn't stretch? Isn't he trying to make money in the nba by getting drafted? Wouldn't he know or even be coached on how to do a standing reach measurement? Hell it seems like the dude measuring him might even be like "bruh, you have to really stretch/reach more. You are doing this all wrong"
Weird.

It's so when you do the max vert test your number looks higher.
