Why on earth do both these guys have a 7 for athleticism?
Mack doesn’t hold a candle to Irving when it comes to athleticism (obvi Irving isn’t Rose or Wall but he is still pretty athletic).
LNC TILL I DIE.

Really, that’s surprising. But good to know.
Mack doesn’t look athletic at all in games.
Maybe he can jump high standing still, but he has little fludity in his actions.
Irving should have an 8 in athleticism and Mack should have a 6, but I suppose the vertical pushes him to a 7.

Yeah, 39” max vert, Mack is very athletic despite a kind of average looking physique

Mack isn’t very quick at all. He jumped high at the combine, but his speed, body control, explosiveness, and quickness are all very mediocre in games.

He got himself in real good shape for the combine so that could be the reason for the great vertical

Both very underrated athleticism…People comparing Kyrie’s athleticism to DRose, Wall, Westbrook isn’t fair, these guys are probably the most athletic PG’s in the history of basketball. If Kyrie was in the draft 5 years ago before DRose, Wall, Westbrook we would have said this kid is pretty athletic but these these guys are on another level of athleticism. And as we know athleticism isn’t everything in basketball.
Call me crazy but I’ll take Kyrie over John Wall any day.

Just because you can jump high doesnt necessarily mean your athletic.
Athleticism is a combination of alot of other skills/abilities and being able to use them.

^true, but strength – 17 reps on the bench, 3.18 3/4 court – speed. Shelvin doesn’t have great lateral quickness IMO, I think his athletic ability is a lot like Josh McRoberts, fast, good leaper, but not great lateral quickness

Didn’t D Rose "only" jump 39" at the combine? I was shocked when the results came out and Mackhad put up same number. Guy had a solid college career and in combine showed hops that compare nicely to Wall, Westbrook and Rose, yet he ain’t getting no first round love. I’d like to see him picked up by the Knicks as a backup for Billups. Seems like a baller to me.

And what about Derrick Williams having only 7 for strength , this guy is a beast : 6’8 248 , bench press : 19 times , giving him just 7 at strength is a joke !
