Holy smokes...Sanders has hops (video)

yeah, we knew this already, but wow, check this out...

Nobody has ever questioned his athleticism. But other questions still remain. Can he put things together in a team environment and make everybody around him better? Can he shoot? And can he improve his handle and passing under pressure?

He has shown he's a willing participant on D at times.

He's shown he's capable of playing at a high level.

He's just got some major holes in his game that keep him from being more draftable.

We're better with him than without him, so I'm happy he's back.

Did he practice free throws?

Thanks for posting...the subsequent comments in this thread have nothing to do with team measuring vertical jumping by the players.

I love it when you post something good to see and guys turn negative by pointing out every flaw. It's not like Sanders is spending all his practice time working on his jumping...lol

That is a truly elite vertical. If he ever got a chance to do that at the draft combine, he would essentially rank number 1 or close to it.

Exactly, I'd love to see the "whole team" verticals! They don't really measure athleticism but it's cool to know who can get up in the air...

Interesting info about vertical jumps...

Back in the day, Darrell "Dr. Dunkenstein" Griffith was the player I remember everyone talked about when it came to vertical leaping ability. The link states he had a vertical of 48''. The average NBA vertical leap is 28".

NBA combine might be "no step" if we are splitting hairs

That would be "Standing Vertical" as opposed to "Max Vertical." 2 different measurements. Last year at the combine, the highest Max Vertical was 44.5", and 2nd was 42." So Sanders at 44" would be right at the top.

Just hope that Corey develops going left to hoop this year... it would make him devastating attacking basket as team can't overplay right

I think David Thompson, formerly of NC State was right up there as well.

I'd rather see the thread title: Holy smokes, Sanders can really shoot accompanied by a video of him making 100 straight 3 pointers.

I'd settle for working out with his team
