[Admin]

Insider has obtained the results from the Chicago pre-draft physical testing of 83 prospects, including most of the players projected as lottery picks. The test revealed that St. Bonaventure point guard J.R. Bremer, who can reportedly bench press 350 pounds despite being just 6-foot-2, was ranked by the NBA as the top athlete testedBremer set a Chicago pre-draft record when he bench pressed 185 pounds 24 times
during the physical.
He also recorded a 35.5 inch vertical jump and had high scores in 3/4 court sprint
and lane agility drills.


Other top performers included Maybyner Nene Hilario (ranked No. 2), Maryland's Chris Wilcox (No. 5), Duke's Jay Williams (No. 7) and Amare Stoudemire (No. 12
Second-round prospects Tamar Slay (No. 3), Matt Barnes (No. 8) and Shaw's Ronald Murray (No. 10) also tested well.

Hilario finished fourth in the lane agility drills with a 10.73 seconds time;
eighth in the bench press drill (16 reps of 185 pounds);
13th in the 3/4 court sprints with a 3.19 seconds time; and 25th in the vertical
jump with a 34 inch vertical.


Wilcox finished fourth in the bench press drill (20 reps of 185 pounds); 10th in the 3/4 court sprints with a 3.16 seconds time; and 22nd in the vertical jump with a 34.5 inch vertical. He tested only average in the lane agility drils with a 11.43 time.

Williams finished first in the lane agility drills with a 10.34 seconds time; third in the 3/4 court spring with a 3.09 seconds time; and 13th in the vertical jump with a 36 inch vertical. He completed 10 reps of 185 pounds in the bench press drill.


Several lottery prospects, including Stanford's Curtis
Borchardt (No. 74 overall), UConn's Caron
Butler (No. 68) and Indiana's Jared
Jeffries (No. 63) were ranked at the bottom of the prospects tested.


Borchardt finished last on the 3/4 court sprint with a 3.63 seconds time; and third to last with a 27 inch vertical jump. Butler could manage only two reps of 185 pounds in the bench press drill and finished poorly in the 3/4 court sprints and lane agility drills. Jeffries had a very poor showing in the 3/4 court sprints and was just average on every other event.

...if it's possible, could you hook that up?

I think I may have to leave Prince for another player. My new love affair has to be with Ryan Humphrey. Good numbers at these workouts.

Look at that bench on Butler and Woods. Pathetic. Looks like Dunleavy did hit that weight room...

from what ESPN puts up there. I too would love to see what he did since he is one of the guys the Hawks are looking at. Hopefully soon we can get some more stuff.

I'd like to take a look at what some of the other guys did too, especially Tayshaun, but what's really catching is that much hyped players such as Dunleavy, Borchard, and Butler got low marks while relatively less hyped plyers like Humphrey and Wilcox did surprisingly well. Still, though, I'd be hesitant to fall in love with a player based on these figures alone, it's a test of raw athletic ability and does'nt factor in actual skills. Interesting, none the less.

I've been callling for Humphrey's selection at #37 for awhile now. With his performances in various workouts I doubt he'll still be there at #37, but if he is the Hawks would be foolish not to take him.

[Hawks4ever]

Can this Bremer guy ball? Hawks should take a long look at him.

Humphrey, Prince, and Yarborough have been my favorite sleepers up to this point. I'm hoping mullet-mania will keep its grip on the league, but unfortunately it appears that some teams are waking up to these collegiate guys. If we get a shot at one of these young athletic forwards in the draft, I'd be tempeted to take em, maybe even at the expense of a Tito Maddox or Juan Dixon.

How in the hell can 24 reps of 185 lbs be THE RECORD for the combine? I KNOW I can do 20 reps of 185 right now and I'm not in very good shape. I'm 6'3" and weigh about 205 so I'm not small but I'm far from being big. How can HUGE guys like Carlos Boozer only do 13 reps of 185 lbs? That's CRAZY! Even crazier, how can a guy the size of Caron Butler only do 2 reps of 185? Do these guys not work out at all? I'm sure JT can do a lot more than that! Hell DJ can do more than that! Maybe they are measuring the reps differently than they do the football players but 18-20 reps of 225 lbs for a DB is not all that uncommon (I can probably only do 10-12 of those) and many DBs can do more than that.

On another note, Chris Wilcox's measureables are impressive for a guy his size. He was 5th overall and Hilario was 2nd overall but Wilcox bested Hilario in 3 out of the 4 events. Hilario was MUCH better in the lane agility drill but that drill is as much about technique as it is about athleticism (if its the drill I think it is). Jay Williams and Dujuan Wagner were impressive as well. How can Wagner be stronger than Carlos Boozer, Caron Butler and Ryan Humphrey?

Yea i was pretty disapointed with some of those bench presses too. My max as a freshmen in high school was 185 and I could do that a lot more than twice by the end of the year. It is sad but I think they just doged it.

You can't dog it in the NFL because bad strength will drop you right out of the first round.
