ESPN Sports Science always brings out the nerd stats from every angle and makes you think and see shit that you don’t normally pay attention to. They recently held an episode for the NBA Draft, where they put prospects to the test.
In this clip, the project No. 1 pick in the draft, Markelle Fultz, went up against a dodgeball team to make his way to the hoop. From a high jump, to spin move, cross over and leap to the hoop, Sports Science breaks down how fast he did each thing, in comparison to some athletes in today’s NBA. Apparently, his handles are like Kyrie Irving and spin moves are as quick as Russell Westbrook.
We’ll see if he’s really that good when he gets to the league, right?
