Statistically Speaking

Some interesting stats from the Orlando draft camp on a bunch of measurables, including height with and without shoes, weight, wingspan, standing vertical and max vertical, etc. A couple of notes

  • Without shoes, Thaddeus Young is not even 6'6" (6' 5.75")
  • Without shoes, Javaris Crittenton is 6'3"
  • Thad was faster than Crit in the 3/4 court sprint.
  • There are about 80 potential NBA players on that list and not one of them had a standing vertical of 40" or more. Anyone even more in awe of Calvin Johnson at this point. "Freak" fits.


In other notes, Chad Ford indicated on his Blog that the Hawks are focusing on Brandon Wright with their #3 pick and possibly Javaris Crittenton with their #11 pick........................ Next week, the Bobcats have scheduled Corey Brewer, Julian Wright, Jeff Green and Thaddeus Young to work out against each other next week.......................... Javaris will work out for the Wizards Friday.
