i think Tyson is faster than Dwight IMO

slow pg Chris Quinn

[RoseCity07]

I think Aldridge is the fastest power forward in the league. He runs the floor like a deer. There aren't very many players that get up and down the floor faster than Aldridge.

yeah, aldridge has crazy speed down the floor

[John Smith]

i think Tyson is faster than Dwight IMO

Joakim Noah is faster than Both.

[arkain]

Slowest PF is Brad Miller, its not even close.

[AyoForYayo]

Aaron Brooks is the fastest in the NBA period.

[Real Men Wear Green]

How can Pierce guard guys like James and Bryant when he's "slow?"

[Tyrone Tinesly]

Slowest center is YAO MING

[noob cake]

Brooks is the fastest PG in the league. It really isn't close. When you are a 6'0", 160 lbs atheletic dude, you can really run.

This doesn't mean his is better than Paul, Parker, Williams at attacking the basket or crossing over (or anything).

[2LeTTeRS]

Paul Pierce and Emeka Okafor are not slow. True slowest guys by position.

C - Z
PF - Z Bo
SF - Harpring
SG - Matt Carrol/Wally Sczerbiak
PG - Damon Jones (he's still in the league right?)

Slowest center is YAO MING

I would tend to agree. he telegraphs his moves hes so slow (which is why an average defender like memo can handle him pretty effectively despite the huge height advantage).

Z is slow as well, but not nearly as slow as yao (esp in making a move). plus the huge age difference

slow pg Chris Quinn

Not even close -- that's a complete stereotype.

Chris Quinn Pre-Draft measurments:

Lane Agility: 11.25 -- Pretty average. Better than players such as Ben Gordon, Rodney Stuckey and T.J. Ford.

Vertical Leap: 37 Inches. -- Not bad at all. Above average.

3/4 Sprint: 3.25 -- Again, not bad. The only active players to get below 3.0 are Joe Alexander (2.99) and Nate Robinson (2.96).
