Love's measurements
Here are some numbers on former UCLA center Kevin Love from the NBA pre-draft camp, where he tested for NBA teams but did not play. He was 6-9 ½ in shoes (6-7 ¾ without), with a 6-11 ¼ wingspan and an 8-10 standing reach. His body was 12.9 percent. He jumped 35 inches, lifted the 185-pound bar 18 times, and ran well (11.17, 3.22).
Here is more from DraftExpress.

About Inside UCLA
This is Brian Dohn's sixth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.
The only surprising stat is the 35-inch jump. That's hard to believe.
pretty incredible that with as big as kevin is he still jumped 35 inches. thats a lot more than guys a lot smaller and supposedly more athletic than him. i do think he height hurts him though.
Kevin Love - pfffffffffffffffffff
Why do schools overstate the players' measurements. Wasn't Kevin Love listed at 6'10"?
