Following potential 2015 draftees

Most of the lottery level talent didnt do their athletic testing today but hopefully will tomorrow. Here are the targets that did it today:

Dekker
Lane agility: 10.71
Sprint: 3.28
Standing V: 25.5
Max V: 34.5

Fairly poor results for Dekker, with a standing vertical coming in worse than Kanter's.
His agility score was impressive though, guard like, and bodes well for staying in front of NBA SFs.

Oubre
Lane agility: 11.1
Sprint: 3.32
Standing V: 34.5
Max V: 37

Oubre with excellent vertical numbers but just average on burst speed and agility. Combined with his wingspan though, he has about the highest ceiling of anyone that we could get at 12.

Justin Anderson
Lane agility: 11.1
Sprint: 3.22
Standing V: 38
Max V: 43

Anderson has incredibly freakish hops and combined with a 7' wingspan and being a 45% three point shooter think he is now officially on the the Jazz radar even at 12.
 
There needs to be more WCS talk on here. Have a feeling when we do a redraft thread here about this draft he will be a top 3 pick in this draft years from now, and he's one of the guys that could be available where we pick.

WCS is who I want. A three man rotation of Favors Gobert and WCS is juicy!!

Also think he'd make a considerable impact to the team coming off the bench in year one with his athletic ability defense and putbacks. Also think he can guard on the perimeter.

Anderson is not on the radar for 12. Him putting up good athletic stats and measurements doesn't propel him 10 picks.

The problem is you can't play Gobert and WCS together unless you want your offense looking like a meat grinder. Neither would be guarded 15 ft out, much like the Cavs are doing to Noah and destroying them.
So assuming Gobert gets 34 mpg, WCS will always be capped at 14 mpg as a Jazz man.

Interesting, Dekker looked very bouncy when he was doing the test. Goes to show eye test sometimes lies when you don't have a reference. BTW I wouldn't say it's horrible. It's better than Klay Thompson or even Kawhi.

I don't think Anderson is an option at 12. His game is pretty limited and there are still questions about his ability to consistently shoot the ball.
 
the one I like is the standing vert. players gathers all this energy then jump, they don't get to do that in games. they should stand a whistle blows then they jump and are timed. that would be a better indicator of a players ability.

I think WCS can play both front court spots and can spell both Favors and Gobert. As I said above, he can guard on the perimeter as far as I can see.

Players also rarely just stand and jump for anything. They get position and use their bodies while jumping. None of this stuff measures that. It's fun, but watching games and conducting workouts is a 1000x more informative.
 
They mean even less now that players specifically train their technique for these specific drills to enhance their numbers.

The athletic testing shouldn't matter but I'm sure some people factor it in. Players do stand and jump in basketball a lot though like on every contested rebound. With that said it doesn't simulate in game stuff really at all. Joey graham tore up the athletic testing years ago and moved up draft boards then it turns out he sucked at basketball.

I like the idea of Anderson and Oubre but I'm not as high on Dekker.
