    Monroe, Udoh and Pittman really helped themselves. Would love to see the athletic testing numbers though.

    Only guy who I recall who probably really hurt his stock was Aldrich. He measured 6'9 barefoot (somehow wore shoes that brought him up to 6'11.25) and 237 lbs. Wouldn't be terrible if he could play some PF but hes too unathletic and unskilled. Hes a little small, very underweight, and doesn't have atleticism or skill to make up for it at the 5 spot.

    his measurements weren't great but he's still the 2nd best rebounder in the draft(behind cousins) and among the top shot blockers(and might be the best).

    I don't agree with Aldrich hurting himself. The guy might of measured in at 6'9", but his standing reach was 9'3.5". That's really high, and you don't play w/o shoes or dunk & block shots with your head ;) He does also get a misconception he isn't that great of an athlete. Aldrich is actually a pretty good athlete and can get up a little for a big man. Add that to the fact his wingspan helps his standing reach, the guy is the best C prospect after Cousins due to his efficiency and all around team oriented game.
