@BillyReinhardt JJ Reddick had a 34" Max. Didn't mean shit

Russell Westbrook had a 36.5’’ max vertical. Over the past two years the following key NBA draft prospects had a 36’’ vertical or less: Cooper Flagg, Ace Bailey, Collin Murray-Boyles, and even Dylan Harper was only 36.5’’ vert. This is a pretty good number for Keaton Wagler — a player people have some athletic concerns about after no dunks this year at Illinois.

@ProfRobAnderson Nobody cares

I have my bar license in California. Arkansas does not have reciprocity with California, so I can’t be admitted to Arkansas without taking a bar exam. However, Texas allows California attorneys to become licensed in Texas without taking a bar exam there. And then Arkansas has reciprocity with Texas. So a California-licensed attorney can become licensed in Arkansas without ever taking the Arkansas (or any other) bar exam again by first obtaining a Texas license via admission without examination and then using Arkansas’s admission-on-motion process.

@FiredUpCoug You're delusional

If I’m Ryan Smith, I’m not paying a premium to move from 2 to 1 for AJ Dybantsa. As much as the Jazz may want him, there's not enough difference between AJ and Peterson to justify trading away talent. Not when there’s a chance he falls to Utah anyway. If Washington wants Darryn Peterson, they’ll call. And if they call, it means they think they can trade down, let Utah take AJ, and still get their guy. If they do call, I'm not making a trade, but I'm feeling more secure about the chance of getting AJ after all. I doubt that Washington would trade lower than number two (maybe 3). There's too much of a talent drop-off.

@DraftExpress Michigan baby!

Santa Clara's Allen Graves measured 6'7.75 barefoot and 226 pounds at the NBA Draft Combine, with a 7'0 wingspan and 8'10.25 standing reach.

@robande72739579 @ChiefsDS @tyler_rucker And he added too much weight.

@ChiefsDS @theonemanzone @tyler_rucker I think he’s more blaming, what is actually wrong with his legs lol

Darryn Peterson No Step Vert: 31.5” in Max vertical: 37.5” in

@AveCope @BrianSuttererMD Very good

@BrianSuttererMD Good or bad?

There is also some *very* early but interesting evidence on the role of GLP drugs in management of joint osteoarthritis.

@NCAABuzzerBters 6'7 barefoot is 6'9" in shoes Charles Barkley was 6'4" barefoot

Tyler Bilodeau (UCLA) just measured nearly 2 inches shorter than his listed 6’9” height at the NBA Combine: 6’7 1/4” Can he still play Power Forward at 6’7” 228 lbs?

@disc0triscuit @RaminNasibov The last Samurai was Tom Cruise fool.

@RaminNasibov The last samurai existed into the 1870s, Lincoln was assassinated in 1865, and early fax technology (the "printing telegraph") was patented in 1843. This creates a 22-year window (1843–1865) where President Lincoln could have received a fax from a samurai.

What historical fact sounds fake but is true?

@Stazingar @RaminNasibov Nobody cares

@RaminNasibov The T-Rex lived closer in time to us than to the Stegosaurus.

@esidery Nobody is letting them in the top ten. Give me a break

The Hornets are viewed as a potential trade-up candidate in the lottery. Charlotte has picks at Nos. 14 and 18 already with a now strong young core. Charlotte is one major move at center away from being a contender, and Aday Mara could become a much-needed big in their system.

@NBADraftMikeyV Don't care what his max is. Only care how quickly he can get up from a standstill.

The 35” max vert would give Cameron Boozer a 11’11” max vert reach. The average max vert reach among PF’s was 11’7.8” and the average max vert reach for C’s was 11’11.1” during the 2025 NBA Draft Combine.

@drmarlonperalta You can fire up your metabolism after as fast or just take a lot of cayenne pepper pills during the fast to keep the furnace burning.

24-hour, 3-day, and 7+ day fasts cut fat but keep you fat. Your metabolism downregulates - you're stuck doing them forever to sustain results. To make progress, you have to cut calories even more. Instead of choking your metabolism for life, train it to handle more food.

@theseoguy_ Cancer is 100 different unique diseases with hundreds of possible treatments. Just saying someone had cancer is so damn ignorant.

@albertoeghim @NoCeilingsNBA Still puts him two and a half feet above the rim.

Aday Mara 28” max vert @NoCeilingsNBA

@esidery Nah. He's the next Kelly Olynyk

Hannes Steinbach’s closest physical traits comparison is Danny Wolf: Steinbach: 6’10.25” barefoot, 248 pounds, 7’2.25” wingspan, 9’ standing reach Wolf: 6’10.5” barefoot, 252 pounds, 7’2.25” wingspan, 9’1” standing reach

@SamQuinnCBS Not a bad idea.

I have a controversial pivot for the Nets in the wake of these two back to back disappointing lotteries. My whole plan for now is maximizing future draft capital by any means necessary. To that end I’d do two things: 1. Trade Michael Porter Jr. 2. Take on Joel Embiid’s contract. The Nets have nothing but time now. Waiting out Embiid’s contract is no problem for them, their whole team is cheap and they’re not contending next year anyway short of some Hail Mary we don’t currently see. If he happens to give you some fun stretches? Cool. Bonus. Really, he’s the matching salary in my star trade(s) in two years once he’s expiring, and a path to extracting picks out of Philly now. I’m just trying to accumulate such a cartoonish amount of future draft capital that I can get outbid for whoever the guy is in 2028 or 2029 by absolutely nobody. I’m developing the young guys, seeing what I have, and trying to be semi-competitive. But the real play here is preparing to grab the next guy or guys who want to be in New York, and the best path to doing that is just shameless pick accumulation, even if it means taking on a contract that would destroy the books for most teams. I just find that a more productive use of my space than anything else immediately visible on the board.

@TheCryptoDaddi I started 30 days ago and I've lost about 7 pounds. Nothing dramatic but a great start of I can do seven pounds each of the next two months.

Retatrutide hitting so good today I forgot to eat. Absolutely insane. I woulda ate 2k calories at this point in the day normally. Time to down a protein shake and New York strip. Results are coming along nicely. Really not trying to mess up this body recomp by under eating! Reta summer around the corner 🦾

@VillyDonovan @bdsimpson21 @League_Him When did he commit?

@bdsimpson21 @League_Him He’s a wildcat

19-year-old Italian center Luigi Suigo measured in at 7’2 ¾” barefoot with a 7’5 ½” wingspan and a 9’6” standing reach at the NBA Draft Combine.

@BySlices @KoffiPot @TroyHalibur Ben Simmons was a horrible defender in college. Fultz was a horrendous defender at Washington.

@KoffiPot @TroyHalibur there are players who started as below avg defenders and became a average or better. some names that come to mind Jokic, Nowitzki, Booker, Durant, klay thompson. point is do we think dybantsa will as well. i think so based on what has been said about his work ethic

Someone who is a basketball expert explain to me like I’m 7, why AJ Dybantsa who is the most athletic wing prospect ever with a 7-foot wing span, had 12 total blocks all season. That athleticism only applies on offense?
