MANILA\u00a0— It seems like Kiefer Ravena is already too fit for the PBA Draft.<\/p>\n

The former Alab Pilipinas player ruled three of the five skill tests in the first day of the PBA Draft Combine at the Gatorade Hoops Center in Mandaluyong on Monday.<\/p>\n

The six-foot guard jumped the highest, ran the fastest, and was the most agile player among the 44-man draft pool, in which 43 of the draft applicants were present with only Chris Standhardinger the lone and the most notable absentee.<\/p>\n

Ravena was measured with a 39.5-inch max vertical leap, higher by just a half-inch than that of Julian Sargent.<\/p>\n

Lervin Flores, one of the most notable dunkers in the draft class, was measured with a 38-inch leap, barely a half-inch shy than that of Jett Manuel.<\/p>\n

Sargent showed his upper body strength as his medicine ball throw went 9.4 meters long, way longer than that of Andreas Cahilig, who only threw an 8.62-meter throw.<\/p>\n

Ravena then showcased his tip-top agility, finishing the agility lane in just 10.72 seconds, way faster than that of Zach Nicholls, who was second at 11.56.<\/p>\n

Ravena then sprinted three-fourths of the court in just 2.78 seconds, just 0.03 second faster than that of Nicholls.<\/p>\n

Gab Dagangon showed his underrated speed by clocking in at 2.82 seconds in the said skills test.<\/p>\n

Nicholls would rule the shuttle run, finishing his turn in just 51.3 seconds, way ahead of Davon Potts, who clocked in at 52.4.<\/p>\n

Despite showing how quick he can be in the agility lane, Ravena missed out on the Top 5 in the shuttle run as Jebb Bulawan (52.41 seconds), Renz Palma (52.55), and Felix Apreku (52.66) round out the test’s topnotchers.<\/p>\n
