I was a little surprised to see Ammo measure out at 6\'6 & 1/2 \" without shoes.
He measured 1.25\" taller WITH shoes.

Tyrus Thomas measured at 6\'8\" and a quarter WITH shoes and only 217 pounds. If the team that drafts him tries to play him at power forward, hes going to get absolutely mauled.

Tyrus Thomas can forget about playing power forward in the NBA measuring out at only 6\'8\" on his toothpick frame.
I wouldn\'t be surprised to see him drop out of the top 5.

Do you know where I can find the results of the Pre-Draft Individual Testing? For example, I read where Shelden Williams lifted 185 pounds 25 reps and Rudy Gay had a vertical leap of 12\'3. Do you know if this information is available on each player?

ltc cureton, Welcome to the board!!
I googled around a little bit and didn\'t come up with any solid list of results, I read on one site that the list gets released as part of Chad Ford\'s Insider.
I did find this [url/www.floridatoday.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060611/SPORTS/606110346/10022]link. [/url]It gives some numbers on a few players, but its not complete by any means.
In the article they say that Tyrus Thomas and Rudy Gay were the top two leapers with 12\'3\" off of one foot, and that Lamarcus Aldridge did a measly 8 reps at 185 pounds.

I\'m sure if the list is released anywhere that someone here will dig it up and post it.

to piggyback on heelfan\'s post. Welcome to the board!
Are you curious about one player on the list in particular?

Shawn Marion is 6\'7\" and 228lbs and plays PF very effectivley.

Josh Smith is 6\'9\" and 225lbs and does the same thing.

For Thomas though, it\'s not about his size, it\'s the fact that he is limited skill wise that will lead him to being found out as a bust.

Marion is in the perfect offense to be an undersized PF, if he were on any other team he would play the SF position. Josh Smith can play the power forward spot, but in my opinion hes not very effective with only 6 rebounds a game.

I think that Tyrus\' size/weight in addition to his lack of skills is whats going to make him the next Stromile.
If I were a GM drafting in the 6 to 10 range and Tyrus was still on the board, I would pass on him and take Sheldon Williams instead. Hes going to have a more solid pro career.
