NBA Prospect Shatters Record For Vertical Leap

Mission control, we have a jumper. Tennessee guard Keon Johnson, who is considered a potential top-10 pick, made NBA history on Wednesday when he recorded a 48-inch max vertical jump at the NBA scouting combine. That leap is the highest the event has ever seen by 2.5 inches. The last person to jump that high was Kansas’ Kenny Gregory’s 45.5 inches set in 2001.

Watch the epic jump below:

Johnson had plenty of dunks this past season.

Johnson averaged 11.3 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists while shooting 44.9% from the field.

This jump should help his draft day stock.
