Combine Athletic Test Results

for all the people thinking williams cant be a 3 because of his lateral agility, size, etc.

consider this comparison to our own gordon hayward, who we have all admitted is quick enough to guard the 3, and even the 2.


no step vert
dw-29
gh -30.5

max vert
dw - 34.5
gh - 34.5

lane agility
dw - 11.03
gh - 11.73

full court sprint
dw - 3.23
gh - 3.22



he managed a faster lane agility score, and comparable sprint, and jumping abilities than the 35 pound smaller hayward, and with much more length, i think he could definitely be an adequate defender at the 3.

i think a major question of his ability to play the 3 is of his ability to create for himself and others in iso situations, and being able to create off the dribble.


Derrick Williams is in the 96th percentile in terms of points per possessions in isolation situations, scoring about 1.130 per possession.

Williams is in the 92nd percentile in terms of PPP in post-up situations, scoring 1.065 points per possession on 50% shooting


i am inclined to say he could be a successful 3 in this league, with the ability to post up many of the 3's which would be matching up against him, and having the range to keep them honest.

Dude, Enes Kanter had a higher lane agility than Hayward did and a near equal 3/4 sprint time. These things mean jack as to what position you can/can't play.
 
Kanter PG
Hayward SG
Millsap SF
Favors PF
Jimmer C

Championship!

Pretty sure Jimmer's standing vertical was 15,133,979,520 inches. Which, coincidentally, is exactly how many inches we are away from the moon.
 
If the Jazz end up with Jimmer & Kanter they should start tearing down the statues out front now to make room for the two new ones.
 
Jimmer Fredette did bench press 185 lbs 14 times, that is exactly how much Enes Kanter bench pressed, and 11 more times than Kawhi Leonard.

That's pretty pathetic on Kanter's part and really not that impressive for Jimmer either. Soft euro FTMFL.

They should get started on the statues and the retirement banners the day after the draft...In case there is any confusion, THIS IS CALLED SATIRE!!!
 
jimmer sucks because he's wite and mormen and goes to dat school down south. he sucks.

but lets also forget dos other stats, lik shoting. he sucks.

One of the best and certainly most complete defensive 5s in the NBA? Can you please just get over the dying rivalry?

These guys are young basketball players, not weight lifters. Also shorter players are at a mechanical advantage when it comes to bench pressing.
 
One thing that I'm super surprised at is Brandon Knight's bench. 10 times being as skinny as he is, dude must be ripped.
