Damion James - Combine



Here is an interesting note from the NBA Combine:

 

There was a lot of debate in Chicago about which point guard was the fastest of the bunch. The names thrown around were Darren Collison, Ty Lawson, Patty Mills, or maybe even Jonny Flynn. But, none of them were even the second fastest. Toney Douglas blazed through the 3/4 court sprint with an impressive 3.03 seconds, while even more surprising was the fact that Damion James was second with a 3.09. Matching Lawson and Mills's time of 3.1 was the out-of-nowhere Jodie Meeks.

His athleticism will and should amaze everyone!

I’m not surprised at this…maybe a little…when he’s faster than all those PGs.

Too bad he doesn't have the handles like those other point guards

Id put Dwight on the D-Line

Go ahead, throw over him.

Either of the Griffin Bros would have been great TE’s.

He might be too tall

They’d cut block the crap out of him, dirty style, and he’d damage his knees.

I'll take Lebron at TE, please.

Can you imagine the jump ball in the red zone? It’d make Asante Samuel look like Blake Gideon.

Saw a piece in SI saying Lebron would be a great wide receiver.

allegedly he has the speed to do that. That would be special.

How much speed could he need really?

I mean, Im pretty sure he can create separation, and as a bball player he should have great hands. And ups?

I think he could walk a route, and still beat out 99% of all coverages.

Without speed the NFL would turn him into a blocking tight end or tackle. If he doesn’t have speed, he’d be covered by an LB instead of a corner or safety and even at 265-270 his higher center of gravity would make him easy enough for most linebackers to level at the catch.
