Re: the official Dwayne Wade >>> you thread

[Blue Barrett]

I thought he wasn't going to miss a f**kn shot lol. Especially in the 1st half.

Last game, Pierce was screaming "I'm cold-blooded" after making that three. After this game he should stop at "I'm cold". Couldn't make a damn shot to save his life.

Game 7 will be utterly intense!

[dmize]

Anyway, I aint falling for dmize's negativity, he knows Boston can easily win game 7 lol

I will say the last 2 minutes of the game was class; with the crowd standing chanting "Lets go Celtics" until the buzzer sounded, to send the team off on the road. Never seen anything like it.

Drummond's basically 7 foot in shoes.

Loads of SG's have good size, all seem to be 6'4 or over.

[LeSwagg James]

Its not about dropping 40 or whatever, its about when, where, how and the situation...thats obviously what im talking about.

Your talking about a 09 conference finals, in which his team lost 4-2...who cares how much he scored then? He didnt save them from anything.

The games he scored 40plus...they lost...so the relevance is what eactly?

Thats the point, he hasnt done things like this very often...again, this game, Detroit..no other time I can really think of.

He's put up similar numbers in Conference finals just like this one, what's your point? Because they lost its irrelevant? It's not his fault they lost.. He was pretty much the only one doing anything last night for the Heat just like he was with the Cavs.. It's the same shxt

Drummond's basically 7 foot in shoes.

With a 38"(said he's hit 40 before) vertical at the combine, at 6'11 278. Biggest physical freak since Lebron

edit: "Drummond is "278 pounds with 7.5 percent body fat. He said his vertical leap today was 38 inches. He was disappointed - said he's hit 40 before. He measured 6-9 3/4 w/out shoes, 6-11 3/4 w/ shoes, with a 7-6 1/4 wingspan," wrote Amick.

Drummond told Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports that he would love a one-on-one workout for the Hornets against Anthony Davis.

"I don't think we can get it done," said Drummond. "I'd love for it to happen.""

For comparison:
Dwight Howard/Blake Griffin 35.5" vert,
Amare 35"

What's with this Robinson bloke trying to talk smack to the Unibro? Lol talk about an extremely butthurt fella.

I've seen some Mocks where he isn't even in the lottery .

Cleveland should be able to get him.

[McAgger]

Cleveland should to for Drummond. The upside is very promising for them, especially since they f*cked themselves last year with the 4th pick of Tristan Thompson

[Le Samourai]

Tristan Thompson is a good player.

Had a very very good 1st season, I think it was a pretty good pick to be honest, Valanciunas and Motiejuanas were the only other bigs left with more upside and neither was coming over last year.

[McAgger]

Tristan was good but he wasn't good enough to be picked 4th. Even then people were surprised he went 4th. I still think they should have gone for Valanciunas.

How does Blake not have at least a 40'' vertical? lol.. What's LeBron's vertical?

[McAgger]

LeBron recorded 37.5 in his Draft Conbine in 2003 I believe, I don't know now

[McAgger]

Vertical leap is measured off two feet I believe and LeBron isn't a two foot jumper, he leaps off one foot, so the 44 inches you see on many websites is off one foot

[LeSwagg James]

LeBron recorded 37.5 in his Draft Conbine in 2003 I believe, I don't know now

I've read various numbers.. Even up to 44''.. I would like a reliable source lol

I c... Even so I would expect Blake's 2 feet take off to be greater than 35''

[Le Samourai]

It's 35.5 and 35.5 is ridiculous.......for someone 260 pounds.....

[dmize]

It's 35.5 and 35.5 is ridiculous.......for someone 260 pounds.....

Yes it is, any thing over 32 when you're that big is very good.

Standing still vertical and vertical reach are also important for post players. Will be interesting to see those numbers when they do them at the combine.

For LeBron I'd say 44 is probably accurate, maybe a bit high. He's got like a 8'11 standing reach, would make his vertical reach around 12'7. Higher than Dwights. Javale McGee had one of the highest vertical reaches if I remember correctly, it was like 12'4.

[Le Samourai]

Portland will take him if no one else does....either at 6 or 10.

I hope Golden State can get him though......could turn into Orlando on bath salts loooooooooooooooool.

[dmize]

I don't think Charlotte will take him, and I'm glad. I don't think they want another raw big next to Biyombo. Washington I don't think takes him either, not sure though. I think Sacramento would take him at #5 if Cleveland doesn't.

[dmize]

Found this:

http://www.draftexpress.com/nba-pre-draft-measurements/?year=All&sort2=DESC&draft=15&pos=&source=All&sort=12

Some names are missing, notably LeBron, but interesting nonetheless. A lot of good players on there, obviously physical stats aren't everything, but it's no coincidence guys like Vince Carter, Rudy Gay, Chris Paul, Derrick Rose are near the top and guys like Adam Morrison, Desagna Diop, Melvin Ely, Patrick O'Bryant are near the bottom.

Edit: Shaq with a 36" vert @ 7'1 303 pounds.

[The Franchise]

Shaq is the greatest physical specimen the game has ever seen, incluing Wilt and Lebron.

At his size, as a rookie, the type of speed, leaping and so on..amazing.

Iverson was also a freak obviously. Not sure if he is in that link.

[Blue Barrett]

Iverson.......

Someone needs to sign that bloke up. Anyone...

[The Franchise]

I think everyone is afriad of him..his willingness to come off the bench, not be a distraction and so on.

Because abilty wise, I have no doubts he could still play in this league.

[Le Samourai]

Would be a decent pick up for Chicago.

I think he would want a decent contract , not a vet min, which rules out many many teams.

Right now, every contender in sight is gunning for Nash.

[McAgger]

Josh, Golden States primary need is SF, so I don't think they'll go for Drummond, unless they trade some players and multiple picks for SF and hope that Drummond is left to them for 7th.
