combine draftee measurements nice draft express article about some of the interesting measurements Plenty to pour over here, enjoy.
The top two SG's both come in under 6.4" in socks. (McLemore and Oladipo) McCollum is only an inch shorter. I wonder if McLemore will drop. He does not seem to be any better than some SG's rated a lot lower.
Anyone got a feel for how he stacks up against Bradley Beal? Both jumpshooting, smallish, one and done SGs. Seems like McLemore had a better college season yet Beal's stock stayed high and he lived up to it as the NBA season wore on. I get the impression Beal is the higher rated guy but maybe I'm way off.
This is fun: the Alligator Arm Index. Seems to be a white guy problem (this year, at least - Bayless and Roy both have it). What's crazy is that Gobert is over 7 foot AND has disproportionately long arms. Crabbe intrigues me, too.
Zeller's max no-step vert of 11'10" is extremely impressive. That's only 2" shorter than pre-MF surgery Oden. LMA's is 11'5" fwiw. Gobert is at 11'6". Skill and athleticism more than make up for his below average length. I bet he rises back into the top-6.
I'm starting to think this draft may be more impressive than is commonly believed. Perhaps not the lebrons or Durants, but many solid starters will come from this class. Especially centers. I think there are 5-8 centers that are intriguing and should translate to the NBA. Only time will tell.
