One of my favorite guys for us at 35 is Isaiah Thomas
and while he’s short (5’10 in shoes) he had some great athletic measurements, with a 38.5" vert, as well as finishing among the tops in Lane Agility and 3/4 court sprint.
Plus he’s 12th in the nation in Assists last year as well as carrying the scoring load for his team so that’s nice.

The athletic measurments are from last year
But they shouldn’t be too much different. They new measurements will be released later today.
Phil Jackson, after treatment for a kidney stone "When the anesthesiologist leaned over me, he said "We named your kidney stone Kobe because it's not passing."
Aren't these the measurements from this year?

Most of them
But there are a couple players that were measured previously, like Thomas. The body measurements like height and wingspan were done yesterday, and the athletic measurements like vertical and speed drills are going to be done today.

Ah

I'm all about Jeremy Tyler in the second
He has the talent to have been the #1 pick in this class. If he fails miserably then we basically lost nothing anyway.
The NBA: "Where 27 free throws happens"
I watched a little of Tyler's drills
he looked like he has a nice touch.
Jeremy Tyler might end up going middle 1st round or late 1st round.

Jimmer's wingspan is longer than Irving's

Plus Jimmer weighs more - 196 to 191
So Jimmer seem to be in better shape and stronger.

I was simply referencing Douby’s amazing ability to drive and shoot at his individual work out.
Someone always has to take it blue though.
jimmer is 3 years older
if he wasn’t in better shape then that would be the anomoly. Ya he works out more, but this point his body is just more mature.

I'm still
really interested in seeing the jumping and running measurables for Jimmer. His agents and college coaches have recently claimed that they would put some of his “slow” and “unathletic” criticisms to rest.
Translations:
Slow=White
Unatlethic=White.
The criticisms won’t go away. Chase Budinger is still referred to as being “deceptively athletic”.
The inverse applies to young black players, “craftiness” and “High Basketball IQ” become “incredible displays of athletic talent” and “great instincts”.
In the end, Magic was just as smart as Bird, and Bird was just as athletic as Magic.

Marcus is more offensive oriented, but Markieff is taller and more defensively inclined.

Did anyone see truth and rumors on espn.com today?
It had a little blurb about a possible Kings-Rockets deal…swapping the 7 for the 14 and a veteran player. I think if this happens that the Kings could probably target Chris Singleton. I like his defensive ability and his length..he could be a good fit at small forward.
That's from Sam Amick
And what he really said was that Houston is looking to trade up, and the Kings could be a possibility because they’re looking to acquire veteran help.
NOT that the Kings-Rockets had talked about a swap.

OK
I dont mind the idea of the Kings moving back to target a guy like Singleton. I liked what I saw from him at FSU and I like what Im seeing at the Chicago draft camp. In a weak draft such as this, the kings could do worse than drafting a guy like Singleton who could contribute right away with his defensive abilities, and possibly develop into a started as he develops.
If they could move back and get Jimmer
That would be grand.

salary cap relief is for acquisitions (recieving players) not trading
The Kings are cap space heavy and they may be able to trade a Cisco or Beno but a certain part of me is surprisingly uncomfortable with parting with either of these two (Beno for consistency on the offensive end, Cisco for the locker roon and chemistry)

Dude...
are you trying to be argumentative? Teams trade players for jack squat just so they don’t have to pay their salaries. I’m not saying Granger or Iggy would be traded for nothing, but I believe we have enough without our #7 pick in a “weak draft” to get somebody. If anything, our 2012 pick would be better even if it’s at #12 or 13.

Kawhi Leonard's Hands Width = 11.25
That’s bigger than Kanter or Vucevic. Bigger than Keith Benson too. Only Greg Smith has bigger hands but he’s two inches taller.
Also, Faried has enormous hands too – 10.25 – despite being about the same size as Leonard. No wonder these two are such unreal rebounders.
Further comparison - Hand Width
Kawhi Leonard – 11.25 (Only 6’7" in shoes…)
Ken Faried – 10.25 (Only 6’7.5" in shoes…)
Hassan Whiteside – 10.25
DeMarcus Cousins – 10
Ed Davis – 10
Al-Farouq Aminu – 9.5
Greg Monroe – 9.5
Derrick Favors – 9.25

Ok, historically does this mean ANYTHING
I know small hands are bad (see Brown, Kwame) as they make catching the ball and ball control harder.
But is there any positive association with very large hands and being a good player. Whiteside I believe had the biggest hands last year.
Not trying to be difficult, just genuinely wondering if this is ultimately anything more than an interesting factoid.
Rondo has big hands?

What?
Might give you a better standing reach, but it’s already incorporated into standing reach. So does it really help to have more hand than arm within that statistic?
Smills already point out the one potential negative. Big hands make foul shooting harder.
What extra positive does it bring?
Being able to grab a ball?

But at what point is that overkill
Most NBA players have big enough hands to grab a ball one handed.
If hand size is too small = red flag
But with bigger hands it’s not like they can grab a ball half-handed.
From past draft data, do players with abnormally large hand (for a NBA player) have more success?
I don't know
Usually too much of anything is a bad thing.

I really want
Kanter, hes a smart guy learned English in 7 months (according to him) hes got great hands and is a very skilled big who is in great shape and hasn’t even played in a year.
I’d take him number 1.
Him with JT and big Cus would be a great 3 man big rotation. I’m afraid Sammy will want too much this being his last long contract.
Evans, Thornton, vet FA, DMC and Kanter could be a real nice starting 5 in a couple years.
Historical Physical Comparisons: Fredette
Jimmer Fredette – 6’2.5" (w/ shoes); 196 lbs.; 6’4.5" wingspan; 8’0.5" reach; 7.7% body fat
Jordan Farmar – 6’2" (w/ shoes); 171 lbs.; 6’3" wingspan; 7’10.5" reach; 4.4% body fat
Luke Ridnour – 6’2" (w/ shoes); 163 lbs.; 6’3" wingspan; 7’11.5" reach; 5.3% body fat

Delonte West – 6’2.75" (w/ shoes); 183 lbs.; 6’6" wingspan; 8’3.5" reach
Deron Williams – 6’2.75" (w/ shoes); 202 lbs.; 6’6.25" wingspan; 8’2" reach
I bet he'd be comparable to about 90% of all pg ever in the league.
He’s definately not small.

I like what i saw out of Teague in the playoffs,
could just have been a hot streak though, and Collison has a bright future.
Right. I think that came out wrong
What I mean is, Paul is the only star on that list. The others are good though.

Nothing wrong with good.
Aaron Brooks and Conley Jr are good. Steve Nash is pretty good. I think Kemba has a chance to be better than good.
Nash is great

Yeah i know
just saying people look into height way to much. Plenty of 6-footers who do just fine playing in the league. I’m not expecting Kemba to be Steve-Nash-great but he can be our pass-first starting PG. He was a true PG is whole life until last year when he no choice but taking a lot of shots for a young UConn team. It seemed to work out…
Collison really started sucking last year
about halfway through the season.

are you referring to his rookie year when he averaged 16.9 ppg (45.2 FG%, 43.8 3p%, 87.7 FT%), 3.3 rpg, 7.9 apg, 1.3 spg in just under 36 minutes when some player named Chris Paul was injured? Or his 1st complete year of starting as a PG leading a team to it’s first playoffs since 2002?
my bad, those are his numbers through the first 15 games he started
real stats: 37 games, 18.8 ppg, 48%FG, 42%3PTFG, 85%FT, 9.1 apg, 1.4 spg, 4tpg
No I meant last year. His 2nd year.
When he averaged 13-2-5 in 79 games. That sucks.

I disagree.
I think it’s bad.

My dd and I were talking about that.
I think he terminated all reasoning.

Proximity is everything IMO.

All I know is this:
As far as this site goes, Fredette is the new Rubio. Two years ago is really the last time I recall such fervor. The only difference is that if we don’t pick him, I don’t think we’ll get a 7500 word essay from pookey consisting solely of the F -word. A few short paragraphs of “dad blame it,” maybe, but it should be mild as American cheese.

Looks like a better Pooh

I think grabbing Cole in the 2nd would be a steal.
Seems like a guy who could get some rotation minutes pretty quickly, even if only 10-15 this year.

I keep seeing that
but what veteran “help” would the Kings want/get from Houston? Scola at the 3 would be epic… or Budinger would be an upgrade too…

The more I see about Alec Burks
The more I think of Tyreke Evans. He’s like a carbon copy of Reke, he even does that kick out lg thing that Tyreke does. That said I think the argument against Burks is the same as Jimmer he’d be a fourth guard.
Enes Kanter only has 5.9% body fat??? HOLY SHIT.
The one question mark about the dude was his conditioning and shape. IMO, this clearly puts that to rest. He’s my preferred pick w/o a question. Ideally we’d acquire Utah’s #3 pick and take whichever is left of him, Irving, and Williams.
After seeing the Grizzlies’ domination through two post players working so well, I’m completely enamored with the idea of DMC and Kanter.
