Loved some of the ideas and thought processes in this
"Takeaways From The NBA Combine" article written by Josh Stirn:
"...Another thing to note is the difference between standing vertical and
the maximum vertical. For a big man, more times than not, they will be
jumping from a standstill position off of two feet in games. That's why
it was impressive to see Cody Zeller measure with the top standing
vertical in the entire draft.
At the same time, the most important thing for big men is getting off
the floor quickly - the combine doesn't measure that. While Zeller can
just high (which is needed to make up for his short standing reach), he
doesn't get off the ground super quick..."
and
"...A guy like CJ Leslie killed the lane agility and ran the court as fast
as anyone, but he doesn't know what to do with that speed in the games.
Its great to run the court fast, but it is even better to run the court
every possession. Leslie is a guy who takes a lot of plays off and
doesn't always go at full speed - which is why you shrug off his sprint
times..."
