The players in the NBA combine who are eligible for the draft go through a lot of measurements. Here are the numbers for this year's players. The database is sortable by clicking on the categories across the top--

The bench press category is the number of times the player was able to bench press 185 pounds. Note that only 1 player was NOT able to bench press 185 pounds a single time--> Kevin Durant! Greg Oden passed on the bench press because of his recent wrist injury and surgery.
Note that the poorest standing-verticle leap was point guard prospect Jared Jordan with a pathetic 14.5". The next poorest leap was 23".
Aaron Gray was the tallest player at 7'0" without shoes. Greg Oden measured 6'11". Gray also was the highest body fat at 15%! Aaron Brooks had just 2.7% body fat.
Creighton's Anthony Tolliver (who was listed as 6'9" on Creighton's web site and measured only 6'7" at the combine) bench pressed the 185 pound weight 21 times!
Only 1 player was able to do more
