Jimmer's Vertical

  • Prescott
    Have you seen Jimmer's cover on Sports Illustrated. It looks like he has some serious hops. Any idea what his vertical is?

    Not as high as you hope, its the camera angle more than anything.

    I don't hope, I just wonder. I remember the shot and remarked to my brother that Jommer can really elevate on his jumper.

    Very respectable for a white boy.

    He becomes a little more intriguing for the NBA..

    The B.Y.U. strength coach, Justin McClure, said he expected Fredette to test well in the physical drills. He said Fredette has a vertical jump of 36 inches, can bench-press 265 pounds and should be able to lift 185 pounds 9 or 10 times.

    “I think he surprised people with that,” McClure said. “He’s a lot quicker and more agile than people give him credit for.”

    His vertical seems handicapped tonight!

    I remember him trying to dunk and being rejected by the rim. It's enough for him to be a good shooter but not good enough to take it to the rack.
