Isaiah Hicks

Height (without/with shoes): 6’7.25″/6’8.5″

Weight: 233.4 lbs

Wingspan: 7’0.5″

Standing Reach: 8’9″

Body Fat Percentage: 7.7%

Lane agility (seconds): 12.31

Shuttle run (seconds): 3.31

3/4 court sprint (seconds): 3.36

Standing Vertical Leap (inches): 31.5

Max Vertical (inches): 37

Hicks showed off his athleticism throughout the week, and especially with his jumping ability. He ranked in the top 18 overall in both vertical leaping measurements.

His other numbers didn’t surprise anyone particularly, as he has never been the fastest, tallest, or longest player on the court. Overall, he tested average all around.

When it came to the product on the court, Hicks soared up draft boards thanks to his 5-on-5 scrimmages. For the scrimmages, Hicks averaged 8.5 points and 6 rebounds.

Though his numbers aren’t flashy, he showed off his athleticism with numerous NBA caliber moves in both games. Furthermore, his defense looked greatly improved from his time at Carolina.

Hicks has the athleticism and skills to be a rotational big man in the NBA. He has worked on his mid-range shot and ball handling, which has helped his stock tremendously.

Though Hicks is still projected to go undrafted, if he has solid workouts with teams, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was a late second round pick.
