NBA Draft Combine 2013: Shane Larkin impresses in athletic testing
Shane Larkin wowed scouts with not only his tremendous leaping ability, but also his speed. How good were his numbers? His maximum vertical ranks second all-time at the combine.
Larkin’s 44-inch maximum vertical stands second to Kenny Gregory’s 45-and-a-half inches in 2001. Larkin also posted a 34.5-inch standing vertical leap and the fastest time in sprint drills (3.08) thus far, according to Jeff Goodman of CBS Sports. Larkin’s raw athleticism is undeniable with the impressive combine results he posted.

Glen Rice Jr. recorded a 33-inch standing vertical and 40.5-inch maximum vertical leap. Michael Carter-Williams also impressed with a 31.5 inch standing vertical and 41-inch maximum vertical.
