In strength and agility, Jimmer ranked No. 1 among all players. His three-quarter-court sprint was timed at 3.21, which was 25th, and his maximum vertical jump was 33 inches, which was 34th among 53 players measured. He outjumped Markieff Morris, Enes Kanter, Jordan Hamilton, Kawhi Leonard, Jordan Williams, Kyle Singler, Klay Thompson and vaunted Nikola Vucevic, among others.

Bench press: 13th (tie) with 14 lifts, beating out the likes of the Morris twins, Brandon Knight and a host of other big names such as Kemba Walker and Jordan Hamilton.

I was interested to note that Fredette's vertical reach is 8'0.5", which is about half an inch more than mine, and I'm at least two inches taller than Jimmer, who stands at 6'2.5" with his shoes on.

Those of us who enjoyed watching Jimmer play in numerous games realize that the NBA did not measure his skill level -- his ability to pass, shoot, dribble and create his own shot -- nor his heart. So when NBA writer David Aldridge predicts that he will go 30th in the draft, I have to laugh. Even if DA is right, I know a bunch of other players who weren't picked in the top 30, including Ginobili, Millsap, Wesley Matthews, Okur, Mo Williams, Monta Ellis, Steve Blake, Boozer, Rodman, Mark Price and Hornacek.

While watching Miami eliminate Chicago tonight, I realized that both teams would have loved to have Jimmer available to hit from the outside and open up the middle. Miami probably would not have advanced in five games if Rose had Fredette ready to make some shots. If 12 teams pass on Jimmer in the draft, I'll be surprised.

The draft is full of surprises, though. Keep an eye on where Kenneth Faried goes in the draft. Some of you will remember how he was the rebounding champ in the entire NCAA, both for the 2010-11 season and for a career, and almost singlehandedly got Moorehead State into the second round of the NCAA tournament twice in the past three years. Faried's vertical jump is only two to 2 1/2 inches greater than Jimmer's, but the guy is a rebounding fanatic. I don't think all of the NBA's general managers will make the mistake they made in passing up Millsap in the first round.
