Did anyone click the link to see how slow his times were? He graded lower than Oden in the agility drill and three quarter court sprint. He will get stronger but he would get tossed around like a rag doll in the playoffs if he doesn't get stronger.

I think he will likely be the best player in the draft just interesting IMO.

The NBA season is long and tough. Can you name any elite players that are not physically strong and take care of their bodies? When it comes down to the 1st pick in the draft this is a very important thing. Texas has facilities that rival anyone's and this seems to point to his dedication and work ethic.

exactly you have to be strong to take the beating every nite, and in great shape for all the running. people don't think of basketball as a contact sport, other than the ufc i'd say basketball is the biggest contact sport there is. its not like in hockey or fball when you have pads to wear. an elbow to the face or ribs feels great. running into a solid screen from shaq will break ur neck

Anyone in a college program for a year should be able to throw up over 185lbs. Prince has played all 82 reg season games for the past 4 seasons (plus playoffs). A weak person does not make it thru those.

He probably hasn't lifted weights much in the past.

Weight training is one of those things that can be learned and improved. A good off season lifting weights he could improve his strength.

Funny Stuff :eek:lol:

100% Injury Rate: George W. Bush benches more than Kevin Durant

We're hoping that because of Kevin Durant's recent pathetic bench press showing at the NBA Draft Camp - he couldn't lift 185 lbs. even once - he'll fall all the way to the Warriors at the 18th pick. We'd gladly take him and his puny arms.

While that's pretty unlikely, we thought we'd take a look at how other athletes and celebrities have fared over the years with the bench press. We should note that not all of the numbers we've compiled are for max lifts. If they use certain weights for reps, we'll mention that. Our list is below, but all you really need to know is this, our current President benches more than Durant.

President Bush: 5 reps of 185 lbs.
Brady Quinn: Max - 350 lbs. and 28 reps of 225 lbs.
Yao Ming: Max - 300 lbs.
Former Cowboys offensive lineman Larry Allen: Max - 700 lbs.
Former NHL hockey goon Tony Twist: Max - 405 lbs.
Refrigerator Perry: Max - 465 lbs.
LaDainian Tomlinson: Max - 430 lbs.
The Rock: Max - 425 lbs.
Reggie Bush: Max - 335 lbs.
Matt Leinart: Never did one (Somehow I'm not surprised).
Power lifter and world bench press record holder Scot Mendelson: Max - 715 lbs.
MMA fighter and former pro football player Bob "The Beast" Sapp: Max - 600+ lbs.
Titans offensive lineman Justin Geisinger: Max - 600 lbs. and 43 reps of 225 lbs.
Former wrestler SuperFly Jimmy Snuka: Max - 525 lbs.
Shaq: Claimed Max - 455 lbs.
Arnold Schwarzenegger: Best ever Max - 455 lbs.
JaMarcus Russell: Max - 335 lbs.
49ers Tight End Vernon Davis: Max - 465 lbs.
Olympic Gold medalist and current pro wrestler Kurt Angle: Max - 420 lbs.
Dwight Howard: Max - 345 lbs.
Jacksonville Jaguars defensive tackle Derek Landri: Max - 425 lbs.
Actor Hugh Jackman: Max - 315 lbs. (during X-Men)
Former wrestler Brett "The Hitman" Hart: Max - 405 lbs.
Actor Will Smith: Max - 385 lbs. (during I-Robot)
100 meter dash world record holder Maurice Green: Max -365 lbs.
Michael Vick: Max - 335 lbs.
Tedd Ginn Jr.: Max - 250 lbs.
Former wrestler Lex Luger: 5 reps of 405 lbs.
Actor Jack Lemmon: Claimed Max - 300+ lbs. (I assume this is a joke)
Tiger Woods: Max - 300 lbs. Reportedly does reps at 190 lbs.
Wilt Chamberlain: Witnesses claim he once benched 465 lbs.

Now if you'll excuse me, I've gotta go train so I can out bench the prez.
