More Indiscriminate Lies Coming Out Of Lawrence, KS Per Usual, About JuJu!!

[pissclams]

Julian Wright was recently measured at a pre-draft camp. 

Julian Wright:

Ht (w/o shoes)      6'6 1/2"   
Ht (w/ shoes)        6'8 1/2"
Wt                       211   
185 bench press     2 reps  (2?? LMAO!!  )
Vertical (max)        33 1/2"  (again, 33.5? LMAO!!  )

Premeditated deception on the part of Bill Self's staff-

Ht 6'8   
Wt 225       

 

Why do they lie like this to the world?  Is it because they are "Jayhawks" and lying and cheating, and misdirection is inherent within them and their nature?

I could do 2 bench presses at 185.

Weak Sauce.

There goes the lottery for JuJu.

Wow, their S&C person should get Trumped...I was a XC runner at FHSU and I could bench 185 at least 5 times and we didn't have an S&C coach.  I knew some of the S&C programs were exceptionally ordinary -- as we tested those athletes -- imagine how lame their "boot camp" is if a SF/PF can only bench 185 twice.  If I were a betting man, I'd bet DK could match/beat that performance.  But, then again JuJu has a sweet jumper and good handles.  I guess that shows the unimportance of strength.

While BP is not highly used movement (except maybe on D when pushing against someone posting up), but military/incline press is, and they are related.

I'd hope.  That's not even a reasonable warm up weight.   

[Leyton]

I enjoy the fact that our men's basketball (especially) and football web pages are pretty much 873x better than ku's.  How amateurish.

[ChicagoCat]

ESPN is the liar.

Add them to the list of people who hate ku for no reason, along with rivals is it?

Damn.

Damn.

I think a Lance Harris vid would be just as impressive.

[fatty fat fat]

You're crazy.

[chum1]

The top athletes on ku's basketball teams aren't actually very impressive when compared with top athletes accross the nation.  They're very much like Bill Snyder's top athletes in that regard.

[michigancat]

You're crazy.

Take it as a personal challenge.   Gooooo FATTY!

[michigancat]

AND BENCH PRESS ISN'T IMPORTANT FOR A BASKETBALL PLAYER DAMMIT!!!!

[pissclams]

JuJu just has freakishly long arms*


 





*Oh and by the way, Durant couldn't do any**







**Ignore the fact that Durant is 6'10" with NBA 3pt range***












***JuJu makes great passes

[goCATSgo]

how can we make fun of a bb player that dominated us down low. it doesnt matter how strong you are if you are a good player. reggie miller probably couldnt do 100 lbs 2 times

[cas]

God after reading this thread I feel like the Worlds Strongest Man.

[michigancat]

Reggie Miller wasn't a PF.

[snart]

In the pros a PF has to be strong and go up against players that have lived in the weight room.  Can you imagine the first time JuJu goes head to head against Tim Duncan or Dwight Howard for a rebound?  It will be like Humpty Dumpty getting broken up...

[kstate16]

yeah it's weird knowing that i can bench more than a nba player (durant).

[BullHawkWheel]

The bbiq of ksu fans is really being showcased in this glorious thread.

The cumulative intelligence certainly went down with your arrival...

Explain to us all how the kid has the collective strength of an 8th grader, is 6'6" in height, and has a 33' vertical, can't shoot to save his life, yet somehow is going to make for himself a future at the 4 in the NBA. 

I'll have one order of BBIQ please!!!!!!!!!!

(tia!)

[pissclams]

Oh that's right, his passes.  He's strong at the power forward passing position and can do little else to help us, sounds like what every NBA GM is looking for, we'll take three of him and an order of chicken fingers.

you shouldn't i know sophmores (to be)(high school) that actualy take weightlifting seriously that can do 2 reps at 185 easy, thats about a max of 190-195 nothing to be impressed with*
*not your max im talking julians

[bigdeal]

Well, I have to say that is a very unimpressive bench press total...particularly for a 6'8"...er 6'6" power forward.  Of course most strength and power guys will tell you that the bench press is the most over-hyped strength stat around because it seldom comes into to play...certainly not more than many other muscles.  For instance, leg and hip strength are more important in the post for getting position and holding it.  Out on the floor, there is more a tensile strength type of strength needed, along with quickness...witness all 165 lbs. of Allen Iverson.  Iverson just can't have much of a bench press, but he is extremely quick and is hard to body out because he has the strength and endurance to continually play extremely hard...and with great quickness.  

Nonetheless, I am shocked that ku's strength and conditioning coach wasn't able to get this total up significantly given two years at the program and training table.

Yeah, what you said in the first part is true, but you'd think someone who spent two years in a high-level strength program would be able to do better than that, even if he never did a bench press the whole time.

[SaltyWings]

After the revelation that JW has the upper body strength of a 12-year-old girl, it would probably be a good idea for one of you to check on the ego of David Hoskins. 

[pissclams]

You'd think he would want to hit the weights if for no other reason than to help him propel those bowling balls down the lane at a faster trajectory during league nights.  Speed = pins, kids.

But that's ok.  Fine, you don't need to be able to bench press a lot to be a great NBA player.

However...78 of the 80 players tested from this year's potential draft pool all tested higher than JuJu in this particular area.  78.  80.
