Chad Ford reports the results from the combine.

It's Insider, but here are some highlights:
The numbers listed, in order, are no step vert, max vert, bench press reps (185 lb), lane agility and 3/4 court sprint
Greg was: 25.0 29.0 15 12.1 3.4
Other relevant people:
Aldrich: 23.0 28.0 10 11.48 3.35
Aminu: 27.0 33.5 13 11.3 3.3
Cousins: 23.5 27.5 NA 11.4 3.5 (not sure what N/A is)
Davis: 31.0 36.0 NA 11.7 3.2
Favors: 31.5 35.5 14 11.7 3.3
Orton: 24.0 30.5 13 12.3 3.4
Udoh: 31.0 33.5 10 11.2 3.3
Some commentary:
Five top players really took a hit in the testing.
Al-Farouq Aminu gets the rep as an off-the-charts athlete, but he didn't really show it here. His 33.5-inch vertical was disappointing and so were his speed numbers.
DeMarcus Cousins really struggled in all of the athletic drills. He's huge (he measured a 7-foot-6 wingspan) but NBA teams can't be thrilled with his numbers at the camp. Cousins had just a 27.5-inch vertical and didn't blow anyone away in either of the speed drills. If it's any consolation, Brook Lopez tested as the worst athlete in the 2008 draft and he did just fine.
This wasn't a great testing ground for centers. Cole Aldrich, Greg Monroe, Daniel Orton and, shockingly, Hassan Whiteside didn't do so well, either.
Aldrich managed to jump just 28 inches. Monroe got to 29, Orton to 30.5 and Whiteside to just 31.5 inches. Aldrich was the best in the speed drills. Monroe and Orton were slaughtered in the agility test, posting poor scores of 12.1 seconds and 12.3 seconds, respectively.
...
Of all the big men, Solomon Alabi was hit the hardest. But there's a caveat with Alabi: He's coming off a recent ankle injury and was just cleared to play right before the draft combine. That likely contributed to his poor scores.
