    There are a bunch of ball players that can jump out of the gym. Remember Gerald Green, Jason Richardson etc. He can probably play on the NBA level and maybe win a few dunk contest before he becomes a journey Man.

    If he gets to the right team, has the right attitude, good coaching, its the weight room -- he could be special. He's an athlete, but he also has some skills and can shoot and has the right height for a shooting guard. He needs some work, but in a few years could be very very good. Someone will take a chance on him in that 12-20 range.

    Good for him. Doesn't mean he can play at this level however.

    His 46 inch vertical just took place at pre-draft workout in LA....wouldn't say he's a Lakers prospect.

    No worries, they have the 7th pick...it would be a stretch but he's moving up the charts and they're obviously taking a look at him.

    That vert is ridiculous. Levine is a big questionmark. Can be a bust as easily as a quality player. Not worth anything near the lakers pick.

    Seems like it based on the mock drafts. Top 4 seems set then Vonleh/Gordon/Smart could be ahead of him.

    Yeah, you're right. I hadn't checked any mock drafts recently, but it looks like he will be there and available. I just read a mock draft that had the Lakers skipping on Randle and taking Marcus Smart.

    He's going top 10 based on raw athleticism. Can handle the ball but didn't show much freshman year. Will need time to develop and if he is mentally weak, the Lakers are a bad fit. Kobe could break him.

    Yeah, 7 is way too high. But then again, I think the Lakers only have one pick in the first two rounds, so who knows what they're thinking

    That stuff does not equate to being a good player

    It's all flash and is probably a good practice player
