QUOTE=Spaz;201102]I've seen him jump with what looks like a 40" verticle. The guy can hit his elbows on the rim.

He doesn't seem to have that sort of lift in most game situations. Your 28" vert. guess is probably pretty close to what he jumps in most game situations.

Of course, I think Trent is far better than you believe he is.[/QUOTE]

Think about what hitting your elbow on the rim means. it means you are touching 11 feet, at most 11'3". My standing reach is 8'1", I'm 6'5". TP should have a standing reach of 8'9" or more. That means 11'3" is at tops, 30 inches.

Your finger tips are only a foot from your elbows?
