I would be interested to see how Baynes jumps. Agility drills are big as well.

[aal04]

I want to know if TD can jump over 25 to be honest. No hate. just more respect to his fundamentals

[mudyez]

I wonder, if track and field high jumpers care about wing span, qickness and hand size.

[barakz21]

I never saw TD as athletic, but I'm always surprised when I saw clips of him from his early days. They made him seem.... Athletic.

btw: I didn't start rooting for the spurs until the 01-02 season, became a spurfan the next season but wasn't able to see most of their games until I moved here in the US back in '11(the only games I saw were the marquee matchups that they'd show on tv and the playoff games)

Spurs get smart players over just athletic players. Its great if there both, but there is a reason they lead the league in apg. A smart team will almost always beat a team that is just super athletic.

[gospursgojas]

So spurs are avg. Thanks.

[PÒÓCH]

Tiago's vertical is wrong, it's not 31.5 but rather 13.5. That was a type-o. White men can't jump.

So spurs are avg. Thanks.

No, only some of their fans.

Bonner has as good of a vertical as Kawhi, despite being 10 years older, tbh. :lol

Unfortunately Draft Express didn't have his (likely because he went un drafted) I would guess its about 33 inches max vert.

[Sean Cagney]

Obviously none of our MEN can jump white or black on this team :lol

They must have messed up Tiago's or Kawhi's vert measurement. No way is Leanards max only 1/2 inch higher then Splitters.

Kawhi's athleticism is overrated, tbh. He really isn't that athletic. He's just long.

[Aztecfan03]

Bonner has as good of a vertical as Kawhi, despite being 10 years older, tbh. :lol

those numbers are all pre-draft.

Shannon Brown supposedly had a 44.5 max vert at one time.

[Chinook]

People forget how awesome of a prospect Young Splitter was.
