1.Cody Zeller posted the best numbers.He recorded a 35.5" standing vertical. According to ESPN draft guru Chad Ford, it's tops among all players 6'9" or taller in the past decade. Zeller supplemented that eye-popping number with some other great ones, including a 3.15 three-quarter court sprint and a 37.5" max vertical.

2.Rudy Gobert's registered a 7'8.5" wingspan and a 9'7" standing reach.

3.Shane Larkin's 44" max vertical. Larkin also proved he could burn it up horizontally. He recorded the best three-quarter court speed, finishing in 3.08 seconds.

4.C.J. Leslie posted the best big-man time in the lane agility drill—he beat everyone, including the guards, finishing in 10.19 seconds.He was also the tallest player to eclipse the 40" vertical max.

5. Tim Hardaway Jr. delivered a prolific long-range display.He sank 19 of 25 triples from beyond the arc and looked every bit the part of a dangerous pro shooter.

Larkin has insane athleticism. He made some pretty quick players look like they were standing still in the ACC last season.

Not surprised by Leslie's numbers. He's physically gifted...it's all about effort and attitude with him. I'm sure he'll play a little harder when he's getting paid.

Ryan Kelly had 14.8% body fat (most of any player at the combine). Apparently 7 weeks away from being able to workout at full speed. He essentially killed any chance he had of being drafted.


One would assume a Duke education would have served him better. Why participate in the combine when you know it isnt going to help you?
