Kempton signed with a team from Spain.
Although no-one, even Lehigh fans, expected Kempton to be drafted, it was interesting to see his various metrics from one of the NBA combines. He was a bit shorter than advertised with a way below-average wingspan and a mediocre vertical jump and mediocre agility. If nothing else, he was #1 in the combine in "tallest" shoes - gaining 1.5 inches with shoes on. With shoes off, he is only 6'8.25".
Height with shoes: 6'9.75"
Height without shoes: 6'8.25"
Wingspan: 6'8.5"
Standing reach: 8'8.5"
No step vertical jump: 24"
3/4 court sprint: 3.59 seconds
Lane agility drill: 12.11 seconds (average for centers, way below average for PF's)
For comparison, here are Muscala's marks for the same items:
Height with shoes: 6'11.5"
Height without shoes: 6'10.25"
Wingspan: 7'1"
Standing reach: 9'0"
No step vertical jump: 28" (almost 1.5" above average)
3/4 court sprint: 3.44 seconds (3rd best among centers at the combine)
Lane agility drill: 11.76 seconds (3rd best among centers at the combine)
Btw, the average wingspan for PF's was 7'0" and for centers it was 7'1.5".
