I think Jordan was 20 when he went to the combine.
He is not overly athletic. I don't think the 26" vertical is correct for the no step but it might be.

The fact is that his standing reach was equal to or greater than Shaq's and he is 3+" shorter. His reach and wingspan are ridiculous (more about his reach).

Watching him on the court, he looks pretty athletic. He's agile and leaps quickly and easily. It's probably not an accident that he keeps showing up on the good side of highlight reels.

^Caught him at a charity game during the lockout. He's basically Dwight Howard Lite. His athleticism has only increased since he was in College Station.

Clippers just signed Kenyon Martin.

Could be crowded in the front court.

I don't think it will be crowded. Behind Griffin and Jordan, they've been playing scrubs.

Looks like they may be adding J.R. Smith as well.

If they add Smith, you'd think they'd have to make a trade with one of their PGs. I just saw they told Mo Williams he wasn't going to be traded, but if you slide Smith in at the 2 spot then PT is going to be scarce at the guard spots.

With Paul starting and Chauncey running some 2 guard and Smith being a much more natural fit at SG than Williams due to his size, you'd have to think at that point Williams would want to be traded to a less crowded situation.

Now with Billups out, this could very well happen.
