The guy has dropped 55+ from his college football days, and is getting ready for a marathon this summer. Watched him playing pickup ball last night. He's looking fast, agile and has monster hops. Who says, "What goes up, has to come down?"

Have heard young Mr. Richman can touch the top of the bank board. At 6'-7", his wingspan and the 35" vertical, it makes sense.

I really doubt he can do that.

Pre-ACL tear he could touch the top of the white box. Actually isn't the rarest thing. I saw Esley Thorton do that as well. Heard Olson gets up around there too, but I have not personally witnessed it.

Casey Walcker is one of the most impressive dunkers I have ever seen in North Dakota, maybe the most impressive. He played for us 2 years ago as an 8th grader and could windmill. Again, windmilling as an 8th grader.
In summer basketball, you are allowed to dunk in warm ups. Richman and Weisbeck did some absolutely ridiculous things for us.
This doesn't show a maximum vertical, but here is a typical Richman tip slam.

Here are 2 of Weisbeck's best dunks.

I don't have any video of Walcker.
And this is just a random dunk video, but here is the best 8th grade basketball player I have ever seen.

I think he had around a 40 inch vertical and with his long arm had some impressive dunks in college basketball. There were many small guards that played back I can think of that had some serious leaping abilities too because they get above rim to rebound and block shots too I experienced.

Weisbeck and Arvidson. Actually pretty similar. I think Weisbeck is a better pure scorer but not as good of a shooter. They are pretty similar in that they score going right really, really, really well. Weisbeck has a better middle game where I think Arvidson is more deadly from deep. Actually are very similar players and athletes. Ben is a lot bigger as far as total body strength at the same time though.
