Actually not too bad:

The average NBA vertical leap is 28" ([B]71 cm[/B]).
His 3/4 sprint is average, but his lane agility test I find hard to believe.  The guy is a 7 footer and he scored 10.95 which is better than many PG prospects at the NBA combine.

Since I am predicting we land Majak, I'm trying to (cough cough) find some reasons to like him.  Here is a link that explains the meaning of these measurements and where some the nba prospects scored.  Certainly doesn't measure skill but he is better than I expected from an athleticism standpoint IF these measurements are accurate and not inflated to make the guy look better than he is.  That does happen with many stats including height for example (a guy saying he's 6'3" when in fact he's 5'11").  And given they have him faster than PG prospects in lane agility the credibility of these measurements should be taken with a grain of skepticism.  Anyhow, this is somewhat optimistic, but due to the legitimacy concerns it is not enough for me to change my opinion, but hey, at least I'm trying to find something to like.  ;)
