The photo is from the summer when he played for Team USA. These are the NBA Draft workouts I believe.

Unless he has the same number from last summer, that's an old picture.

If he does have a 40 inch vert, he should hopefully shoot up a couple draft boards!

Not to take away from this, but I think it is kind of sad that he has a 40 inch vertical and we are somewhat surprised by it because we didn't really see it.

LOL, and people say he won't be drafted. Someone is going to see his potential and draft him.

He was on a U-22 USA team last year or something like that. I think they got bronze in the tournament.

NBA Draft net has him at 39th for the 2010 mock draft. Gilstrap was on this mock draft also a couple months ago but he must've fallen off.

Do you think Craig will play in the post in the NBA? or be more of a combo forward?

Craig is a great player who went through some very difficult times at ISU. I know some are disappointed that he 'underperformed', but he really did have a sometimes ridiculous set of circumstances.

Craig had some ups here....

We didn't really see it only because big guys have to jump off both feet, which isn't very conducive to jumping while on the run.

How do you think vertical is measured?

You must not watch much NBA BB...guys Brackins size in the NBA tend to play small forward or power forward. A very few play post...some actually play guard.

They do it both ways.
