The NBA releases the weights, heights and other measures they take at this pre-draft combine in Chicago. One of the more interesting categories is always body fat, since it's a gauge of how well these guys have stayed in shape.

Here's a surprise: Duke's Kyrie Irving and Arizona's Derrick Williams -- the frontrunners to be the first two selections June 23 -- were among just seven draft prospects with body fat at or above 10 percent.

Irving was at 10.2 percent and Williams at 10.8. Duke's Kyle Singler was also up there, at 10 percent.

NBA scouts and coaches generally say players should never top 8 percent body fat, at least in-season.

I have often wondered if basketball players use 'enhancing drugs' as well; there are several that do nothing for size but boost strength and speed. I wouldn't doubt it.

You're not serious, right?

There is no drug free professional in any sport. At least not in major sports, that is.
