Going way back I thought Charles Alexander would be a star for us.
And Dave Rimington was considered among the greatest college centers of all time. I remember back when he was drafted they used an "Explosive power" formula that used body weight and vertical leap. I believe he sat a record in that. He was 6'3", 290. I don't know what his vertical was but and they showed film of him dunking like crazy.
Come to think of it I don't know why they don't use that metric anymore. If you think about it it is a pretty good measure of explosive power. A guy who weighs 300 should get a lot more credit for jumping just as high as a guy who only weighs 250.
