I saw that. I was guessing the 14.5 was a misprint but people who were there said he couldn't jump. So maybe the 28.5 is a misprint
becuase he has not played a single game in the league....not getting ahead of myself like u are...u just assumme he can make the jump right away with no problem..

No, but if I did I'd bench a Shaq and a half at least twice.
This makes no sense at all and proves your ignorance of UT basketball. I watched or went to every one of his games this year in Austin, and to say that Durant chokes in the 4th makes you look like an idiot
ok so tell me how he will be so effective in the NBA...is he going to be a 6'11 reggie miller or rip hamilton???
u just assummmmmmmmme he can't with all problems.
And how do you know that adding weight wouldnt totally throw his game off and make him ineffective?
Damn, that would be awesome. I like the way you think.
i dunno i want my no 2 pick to be a complete player...something that durant was in college he could work the low post and the outside...just want him to hold his own down there when he needs to and he will if he wants to make a career in the NBA
That's terrible, but I'm not surprised...have you seen the guy? He's got the body of an 11-year old.
My max is 230 and I only weigh 150.
Some people jump a lot higher when they run. But basketball players usually can at least have a decent no-step vertical. 14.5 inches is put to shame by most WNBA players.
And in basketball, no-step vertical is the one to look at. Rarely do you get the opportunity to run and jump during a game.
I remember Ice having some long skinny arms....I think he did alright.
Draft Projection: Top 2
Similarities: Kevin Garnett meets Dirk Nowitzki
Notes:
Durant has made his mark quickly in Austin.
(Jim Redman/WireImage.com )
Durant declared for the 2007 NBA Draft on April 10th. He will hire an agent, ending his college eligibility.
Positives: Durant has it all: size, length, athleticism and a sweet-looking jump shot. Can play multiple positions on the floor. Very active. Aggressive. Looks to score and can kill you inside and out. Zips up and down the floor. NBA range on his 3-pointer. Quick release and perfect mechanics on the jump shot. He prefers to play outside in, but he's proven he can rebound and block shots. Great hands. Good ball handler. Virtually unstoppable on the offensive end.
Negatives: Strength. Durant's body keeps him from being one of the most complete forwards in the game. He needs to add 15 to 20 pounds of muscle. Given his slight frame, that could be an issue. Doesn't play defense with any intensity.
Summary: Some scouts are calling him a mixture of Kevin Garnett and Dirk Nowitzki. Others say he's the most complete college player they've ever seen. His play as a freshman has been epic. Right now he's the consensus No. 2 pick in the draft behind Greg Oden with a small minority of GMs saying he could beat out Oden for the No. 1 pick.
hmmmm seems like this scout thinks kinda like i do

isnt that exactly what i was sayin??? i think so
He didn't say it would hurt his draft level.hmmmm seems like this scout thinks kinda like i do
No, you say you wouldn't take him at #2.
Everyone thinks he could add some weight and strength, but they realize he's 18 years old.
we dont give a varez
i said i would take durant at two...scroll up and check that out...but everybody is saying in this chat room is saying that he does not need to add any weight( u said the same thing) and i was telling everybody that he did...thats my point...if he ever wants to be the great player he can possibly be he needs to get stronger
Fantastic.i said i would take durant at two
End of thread.
Nobody said he couldnt add some weight, just that him not having a strong bench wouldnt keep him from being a great player
ouch check that out!!
i think its funny how people are trying to change their arguement once they realize that im right...o god it feels good to be right
You only see what you want to see it would seem
look got u were the one saying that i didnt watch him enough to kno how he played...and u were saying he didnt need to add weight...i used the bench press as an example how weak this kid is...admit that ur wrong..its ok
