he's fine...he's going to put on some muscle in the nba and will end up having more so mcgradys physique than tayshauns physique.

he still dominated the college game against guys that are older, strong and bigger than him. He'll be the 2nd pick in the draft.

Shocked that I can bench more than a guy over 1 ft taller than me, but at the same time embarassed that President Bush is probably stronger than me.

But, but, Darko did pretty good in the workouts without showing any game experience. Thus he was drafted high and led the Pistons to the championship... Oh waitOriginally posted by: Accipiter22

EXACTLY. Every year teams get hung up on these workouts till you have horrible guys who couldn't win a game to save their lives in college going in the first round. Look at the track record...did he WIN games, and could he take them over in college. If yes, then he's probably at least a decent prospect. Those workouts are nearly worthless....speed, and jumping all that has NEVER ONCE been correlated to any sort of endurance issue in the NBA.

good thing Magic and Bird never did these tests. They would have never have been drafted I'm sure.

Kevin's the best player in the draft -- [except during his] period, at any position.

Second and third page of the article says Yao does indeed bench 300.
Article link is pretty interesting to read. Yao sounds like a pretty dedicated guy.
