Prospect Ivey,or regressed year 2 Ivey?
I don't see anyone gettable that would be worth throwing $33 million starting at instead of say $23 million starting at. Could probably get someone to take Collins' contract if you're using a first as a sweetener. I wouldn't do it myself, but I especially wouldn't do it to get rid of a guy on a good contract like Keldon.
Prospect Ivey,or regressed year 2 Ivey?
This has to be bull lol
It's because he fudged his standing reach. He purposefully didn't stretch his arms all the way out so he could get a higher vert.
I wouldn’t take a twitter poster seriously, and this guy has already mixed up some players measurements today, but if the NBA posts it on their combine page, it’s legit.
Well I may stand corrected. I just pulled up a video of him blocking a three-pointer off of one foot and he got some pretty serious air
I had no ing idea he had hops like that.
Make the white boy dunk champion great again
Buzelis and Edey might be moving up based on their combine drills alone.
I'd never have guessed that Edey was faster than Clingan and several others.
Buzelis with decent speed and great vertical.
Reed Sheppard has some hops!
Reed Shepherd has just jumped a few spots in the draft by jumping a few inches higher than expected.
the ? Steve Francis in a white body?
"that was not difficult"
Vert is easily gained by doing what I posted above.
apparently Wemby ain't the only one who can putback dunk his own 3-point miss
How many inches does he gain from that though? And do these measurement guys really have no protocol when it comes to that? Man, these guys suck at their jobs.
Agree - not looking to dump Keldon, but am looking for getting some value if it means better roster balance. The cap space isn’t just about year - Keldon deal is declining but is still much bigger than Ivey would be. And Keldons deal goes a year past Collins deal. So by doing this, you get the savings for years to use when its worth it right before Wemby extension would kick in.
Regressed Ivey. If you this Ivey we’ve seen were in this draft, where would you have him compared to the Dillingham, Reed, Castle, Topic guards
A couple more observations from the board. I’m almost more amazed by Sarr’s 37 than Shepherd’s 42. Big men don’t normally have huge verts, because they’re tall and don’t normally have to jump much to get their job done. Collier also didn’t do himself any favors by jumping a 34. When you don’t shoot or pass particularly well, and hang your hat on being an athlete,you should probably actually be an athlete. OTOH, this does show that non vertical athletes can penetrate and finish.
Knecht is testing pretty well. I think he's a little more athletic then people give him credit for and has the ability to be more than just McDermott 2.0.
Regressed Ivey has already kind of shown his ceiling, so, maybe 7-8?
He still has the slow lateral speed. Too much stock is put on these measurements when they never matter after the draft.
It’s not just the surprise vert. That’s just a cherry on top. He’s also pretty skilled at basketball, and a sniper from downtown. He may have worked his way into the top 3 in this murky undefined draft.
