Not as much is made about the NBA combine as there is for the NFL combine, but it's important in it's own right. Curtis and Will both did pretty well there. Will was rated as the 15th best athlete and Curtis was rated as the 17th best.
Will was very impressive with his leaping ability as one would expect. He had a 35 inch standing leap and a 40 inch one step leap. His 35 incher for the no step jump tied for second best at the camp, which is one reason why we're probably seeing will sneak into the 30's on a lot of mock drafts. He also was measured as being 5'11.25" tall, with that incredible 6'6" wingspan. I'd always heard about it but was a little skeptical because you never know the complete accuracy of those measurements. He also had a good good 3/4 court sprint time. His lane agility drill time wasn't as good as I would have imagined, and he only did 8 reps of 185. I know that's a lot, but I just thought it would be more.
Curtis had a pretty bad vertical, as he only got 28" on his no step and 31" on his step jump. His wingspan is also a bit longer than his height at 6'5". He did a very good job on his lane agility drill, the sprint wasn't too fast, but he had an outstanding 17 reps of 185 on the bench press. Daniel Horton was the only player of a similar size to do as many reps and Ronnie Brewer was the only guard to do more than him.
Quick, funny note on wingspans: There was only one player at the pre-draft camp who didn't have a longer wingspan than his height and that was JJ Redick. He's 6'4", and his wingspan is 6'3". Almost all the players had around 2 or 3 inches of wingspan greater than their height.
