2013 NBA Draft

[BGRTHNUMEGO]

Measurement data starting to come in.

@chadfordinsider

Trey Burke. 5'11.75" in socks. 6'1.25" shoes. 6'5.5" wingspan. Good measurement for him.

@chadfordinsider

CJ McCollum 6'2.25" in socks. 6'3.25" shoes. 6'6.25" wing.

Solid measurements for both guys. That puts Burke at about the same size as CP3.

[MarkGrace]

Schroder measures 6'2" with a 6'7.75" span. Damn. But kid only weighed 165 lbs.

Kabongo gets 6'2.75", 6'6.25" span, 8'2" reach.

Gobert measures 7'2", 7'8.5" span, and 9'7" reach. Holy Moses! This year's Saer Sene.

Some that stood out to me:

MCW at 6'6". I thought he'd be closer to 6'7".

Brandon Davies measured a solid 6'10".

Ryan Kelly with his perimeter and ball handling skills measures at 6'11". Impressive.

Ben McLemore only 6'5".

Otto Porter taller than I expected at 6'9".

Yeah, Otto shocked me with his height. Same with Shabazz. Except he measured smaller than I thought he was.

Cody Zeller probably just moved up a few spots after it appeared scouts were cooling on him. He jumped a 35.5" standing vert. That's crazy good for a guy as tall as him.

If I had to pick 3 guys out of this draft that I think will have the best careers, Otto Porter is probably the easiest pick for me. I think he's got a high basement, his style will let him fit into a lot of different places. I essentially see him as a more skilled Kidd-Gilchrist.

That's massive for a guy his size. Standing too. Wow. Looks like Plumlee had a max vert of 36". Not too bad either. Has Davies jumped yet? Are you watching on ESPNU?

Ryan Kelly had 15% body fat, the highest of anyone.

Davies was at 8.6%. Considering he came in at a very respectable 241 pounds he has done some work on his body.

Not watching. Just monitoring a few twitter feeds as the numbers come in. Zeller's standing vert was 5" higher than Plumlee's. Zeller might end up being the biggest winner at the combine. Good quickness, legit size, the fastest sprint out of the bigs, and that standing vert number. But he did have alligator arms.

Pierre Jackson and Shane Larkin both had shorter spans than their height. Not good for under 6' guards. Victor Oladipo gets the Dwyane Wade award: 6'4" with a 6'9" span. Or maybe Jamal Franklin: 6'5" with 6'11" span. No wonder he's such a good rebounder and defender.

8.6% is a solid number for Davies. 15% for Kelly? ouch.

Kelly Olynyk. 24.5" standing vert. 29.5" max vert. 3.59 sec sprint. 11.42 lane agility. Not much athleticism there.

Both McLemore and Oladipo hit 42" on max verts. Major athleticism there.

Wow. For two top 5 prospects, those numbers are crazy. 42 inches is rare air in the history of the NBA combine and very, very, few top 5 guys have hit that number.

I think I'd love to see Utah take a chance on Tony Mitchell with their 2nd pick. He had some great measurements and was showing off as easily the best athlete in his power forward group during on court drills. He had a major failure of a season this year, but with his natural abilities and what he's proven on the court previously I think he's definitely worth a late first round pick.

I just saw a picture tweeted of him on the vert test. They had to pick the thing up and put it on jumping blocks because he maxed it out.
