LINK This NBADraftExpress article makes alot of great points. They are basically saying these workouts for speed, agility, etc. mean nothing at all. TJ Ford slower than Chris Kaman? Ok.....Check it out, its a nice read.
Yeah I really agree w/ the article. Even though its cool to see how players do they mean nothing. I mean David Noel got ranked #1 for the test but he probably won't even get drafted. That was a really good article.
Ford slower than Kaman? You sure that's not a typo? Because Ford is one of the fastest guys in the league.
Thats what happend a few years ago in the workouts. Article clarifies it also. It really suprised me too
Obviously Kaman is not quicker than Ford, their must be something to it. These tests don't mean anything, Troy Bell was a dominant college player and was named top athlete 2 years ago and now he's out of the league.

He tagged along in Hornets training camp last summer, too. I think he will be back in the league. He is a very good scorer, he just knows how to put the ball in the basket. Maybe I'm overrating him because he went to BC, but I think he will be back in the league at some point. I believe he played overseas this year.
But still, he was a first rounder, he wasn't good enough for a team to sign and they let him sign overseas, he was a bust when he did play. Maybe like Charlie Bell he will come back and be better.
Charlie Bell suprised the hell out of me. He can really play. Also, didn't he drop a triple-double one night?
