Kentucky Pro Day 2022 has come and gone, with scouts from all 30 NBA teams in attendance to evaluate the Wildcats at the Joe Craft Center. It was a combination of physical testing, individual work and scrimmaging, with the event lasting roughly 2 hours and 15 minutes.

How did things go? See for yourself with some sights, sounds and numbers.

Highlights

We get it, you’re here for the highlights. Fortunately for you, the Kentucky basketball program shared three-and-a-half minutes of footage for you to enjoy at your earliest convenience (now).

All the dunks, 3-pointers, mid-range jumpers and forced turnovers you could ever need.

Measurements

Who is the fastest player on the team? Tallest? Best leaper? Biggest hands? The official measurements are in to give you those answers.

Let’s single out the individual standouts:

  • 3/4 Court Sprint — Jacob Toppin (3.09 seconds)
  • Max Vertical Jump — Daimion Collins (46.5 inches)
  • Standing Vertical Jump — Daimion Collins (34 inches)
