Suddenly, it's as if the best thing he's ever done was jump 44 inches into the air at the NBA Draft Combine.
Forget about the four seasons at Notre Dame and his prominent role with a nationally-ranked team that nearly knocked Kentucky out of the NCAA tournament this past season. Forget about his impressive rebounding stats, his smooth shooting stroke or his highly-praised attitude. Forget the individual highlights such as his game-saving blocked shot against Butler in the tournament or the dunk over Jabari Parker as a junior. Forget, even, about his budding professional baseball career.
The guy can jump!
