yeah rafer definately needs to be on the quickest list
nash deserves to be one of the fastest cause he was almost a professional soccer player so he must be pretty damn fast. just look at his ball skills in the dunk comp.

i say divac and dikembe are among the slowest. the clock could go 5 seconds till these two finish a spin move :shock:

yep. thats completly correct. shaq is incredibly quick and graceful downlow.

definitely tony parker should be on the quick list. same with luke ridnour, who surprisingly has that extra gear to kick in that few players have

and possibly shaun livingston once he gets healthy. he has incredible foot speed/agility for his size and lack of strength

Shaun Livingston is very quick indeed, his length allows him to be quick because he covers a lot of ground with just one stride.

it's pretty amazing because i remember reading the agility tests of the rookie prospects of this year and livingston was tops. even beat little speedsters like gordon. i think one of his scores even topped jay williams who i believed had the high mark or was it 'craig' claxton. and it's not just his length, he has very quick lateral movement. just imagine this guy once he gets his nba body and hopefulls has the mindset to be good defender. he would be a terror for PG's bringing up the ball and to defend

He was already a pretty good defender this season, for a guy coming out of highschool, his defense was pretty impressive, he was at least an average defender this season which is pretty good. Mike Dunleavy said this guy will definately be a very good defender in the future, he said his defense even impressed him more than his courtvision etc..
