Cedric Coward 6’5 1/4 barefoot, 213 lbs, 7’2 1’4 wingspan, 8’10 standing reach for the steal of the draft. He will be moving up. I expect he will also have the biggest hands at the combine but we will see
Ok, so based on these measurements we can expect the next round of mocks to boost Liam, Sorber, Fleming, Bryant, while demoting Kon, Ace, and Jase (ouch)

Kon needs to get him some of those Cole Aldrich platform elevator shoes that gave him an extra 2.5 inches in height
Let's see some Hansen Yang numbers for those if us in the YangGANG
Hopefully teams fall in love with size for the 1000000th time and Kon falls in our lap
charles bassey was 6'10 in shoes with a 7'3 wingspan fwiw
I’m cool with Kon at 6’5 because he has the weight and IQ to bully people and get positioning. I don’t think 3-pt shooting is the biggest need (rebounding) but it is a need. All this height confirms is that he will never be a 4 but he can play the 2-3.
Really good draft for the Spurs to be able to pluck a center in round 2 if they go best player available with lottery picks.
Thomas Sorber with the 3rd or 4th pick tbh
Those are Serge Ibaka's exact measurements too. I was being tongue-in-cheek tho obv. Aside from the obvious talent discrepancy, Sorber's not nearly the athlete those guys are. More lumbering and slower-footed, though he's still an intriguing prospect. Rather have Fleming tho tbh because of his ability to stretch the floor.
I had Asa Newell above Sorber but definitely moving Sorber up and Newell down. Under 7’0 wingspan and at 220 something pounds for Asa. He will have to blow the athletic testing away to be a lottery pick.
Man, I love when measurements come out. It's high comedy. Casuals have orgasms. "Oh, he's an inch shorter than we thought! He's gonna drop!"
No, he's not going to drop. No one gives a about exact measurements the day after the draft. They're for numpties to frenzy over. You can barely remember the measurements of anybody from last draft, if anybody. It's ing hilarious.
I also think Johni Broome will fall to the 2nd round with his 6’9 1/4 measurements. He is just not athletic enough to survive at that size. He is at best a back up rotational big in NBA
It's even more hillarious when you actually take a measuring tape and see how much of a difference one or two inches actually is.
Bailey went from the next KD to the next Rodney Hood because of a few inches.![]()
Seriously. Jesus Christ, this doesn't really matter. A bad player doesn't magically become great because he's an inch taller. C'mon.
im looking back trying to find comments where somebody saw a player they thought was bad but now think theyre good today
After seeing Dillingham go from 178lb to 164lb when measured at the combine hard to trust any of these self reported numbers.
Damn Fleming at #14 sounds nice though.
Imo, measurements are the most important for point guards because small and underweight guards get exploited no matter how good they are.
For wings it doesn't matter as much if they're 6'7 or 6'9, it's all about their skill and IQ. We're past the era of perimeter positions being locked in, it's just about if you're above the minimum threshold.
Can't see hype on Bryant with a top 10 pick when he's putting up 6.5ppg. Maybe late teens just on size but at #8 or #9 seems nuts.
I kinda like the idea of Maluach. Wemby gets tired pretty quick. It could allow Wemby to play more on the outside offensively and use more energy on defense. It should also improve rebounding around the rim.
I'd be very surprised if he's there at 8 and def not taking him top 4 if the Spurs move up.
Went back and looked at Castle’s measurements from last year and they were impressive:
Height w/o shoes: 6' 5.50''
Standing reach: 8' 6.00''
Wingspan: 6' 9.00''
The spurs need size and shooting. Seems like Steph is a good baseline size-wise
Measurements matter somewhat - it helps to put into context college production and how likely it is to translate to the next level. I like to use them to compare them to stylistically similar players to get a feel for how likely their skills can translate to the next level:

Something in Tre Johnson’s numbers seems wrong. How can he have that wingspan and only that reach?
