He actually got this from someone he knows who works for a team, he mentioned in another interview but I can't find that one at the moment:
Change of Direction
Balance
Coordination
Change of Pace
Strength
Vertical Plane
Flexibility
Reflexes
Stamina
Pattern Recognition/Court Mapping
Spatial awareness
Anticipation
Cognitive Load (How many things you can process at once)

For example, If you watch Vince Carter, Kobe, and Jordan, Vince tends to need a lot more runaway when leaping. Jordan and Kobe could explode in the air in an instant, with very little runaway.
There others I'm sure but I'm a bit tired to think it through right now.
