ESPN’s Jonathan Givony got his hands on UK’s Pro Day measurements and used them to find NBA comparisons for each player. Givony said all of the Cats’ numbers were impressive, but made special mention of Nick Richards’ 36.5″ vertical leap, which reminded him of another Kentucky big.
“Nick Richards measured a hair taller than 7-feet in shoes, with a gigantic 7-foot-5 wingspan, 9-foot-2½ standing reach and a chiseled 244-pound frame, right on par with his numbers from last fall and all in the 90th percentile or above among players in our database.
