I can see it now:

"Boy, that guy measured in huge down there, I think he’s gonna have problems getting up and down the court"

"Wow, that guy came in way below average, looks like he’s not man enough to crash the boards"

I think all these measurements and physical stuff mean nothing anymore.

Remember Durant could barely bench press 1 time?-how did that turn out?

or Cousins having a huge body fat %-I think he did ok this past season, no?

 

As someone esle here mentioned.you can either play ball, or you can’t.simple as that

Well Durrant’s lack of strength is still a weakness (no pun intended) at the NBA level. So that test did show something that is an issue as Durrant does get held and muscled a bit, especially at the end of games when Ref’s are loath to call away from the ball fouls.

Body Fat content always cuts both ways for me. If a guy has high body fat percentage, it is bad, but it also makes me think that they have room to drop weight and get faster, without loosing strenght. So it isn’t always a negative.

Who knows what value handwidth and length really have though, certainly none of these measurements should replace looking at actual basketball production. Hopefully everyone learned the Darko lesson and no one it going to draft a guy just because he is big and ran the shuttle drill quickly.
