Yep.
This isn't football where strength is everything. Plus there are a lot of guys with long arms that make it difficult to bench a lot. I bet Royce White's wingspan is 6'10

I take this to mean he's very strong, regardless of the technicalities. Strength and toughness was something that was COMPLETELY absent during the McD tenure. Those traits defined our past two tourney qualifiers, Wayne's 2004-2005 team and LE's teams (10 years ago!!). It would be great to see us rip away a loose ball, rebound in traffic or finish at the rim.
22, good work.
I think Durant's number was 0 coming out of college, which was a big deal at the time.
I heard Fred did 37, but Chris couldn't post it for fear of setting off a man love explosion of epic proportions.

It is unbelievable that these high level bball players are not stronger than that.
I can bench 185 about 30 times, and I only weigh 185 lbs..

I can see why post players would have low numbers, but guards should be able to bench 185 a dozen times pretty easy.
Just curious, how old are these supposed men that can do this sleeping? We are talking about kids who are less than 22 or less years old. What could you do when you were that age?
Keep in mind that in this sport, teams typically focus much more on conditioning than heavy lifting.
If a bball player, especially a great shooter, gets 'too strong', it changes everything. Their shooting form dramatically changes, which isnt good. Bball workouts consist of high rep, low weight.
True. But they are much stronger than they used to be. Check out NBA games from 25 years ago. A bunch of bean-poles running around. Today's average D-1 college player is much more ripped than most NBA players used to be.
Impressive. But remember you are older and have a wingspan that is probably 6 inches shorter than his. And he is a bball player where bench press is not terrible important. It is nice to see that he is stronger than what we have had though
That is a good point. I 'try' to play bball a couple days a week as a cardio supplement to my workouts and my shot is always messed up b/c my muscles are tight and I have limited flexibility.
Oh definitely, but once a guy develops a good shooting stroke, lifting too much can really throw their shot out of whack.
I'm calling BS, 6'3" guys with 6'5" wingspans that are 185 can't bench 185-30 times. They can do lots of other things, but benching their body weight 30 times at once isn't one of them.
