Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects What exactly does 1 inch mean for a wing? Seriously, you're grasping at straws.
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects He doesn't have the freakish wing span like other shorter two guards do. He needs the extra inch or so.
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects 6'4" without shoes makes him as tall as Wes is. Still with a wingspan an inch or so shorter. My worry with him is his previous measurement is more accurate, making him more along the size of Westbrook and Jack.
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects Depends on the inch and the wing position. If it's 6'9" or 6'8" for a small forward, then nothing If it's 6'4" or 6'3" for a shooting guard, then a lot more. Beal is not a combo guard. He is a 2 and a good shooting one in high school with a lot of skill.
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects Eric Gordon is 6'3. One inch means nothing. That extra inch isn't going to make him a better defender. It's not going to make him a better shooter, finisher, etc. If you're going to pick at his flaws, then pick at his flaws. That extra inch doesn't change him as a prospect.
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects I'm interested to see how Lillard does at the combine. The guy can put the ball through the hole.
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects In your eyes it doesn't, but in mine it does. There's really no need to argue about it. Gordon's wingspan is 6'9", while Beal's is 6'7". I think it makes a difference. Gordon is also a lot more athletic than Beal is, and has an easier time getting his shot off
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects Me too. I really don't like that he has already had foot surgery though. I am really interested to see if he can actually run an offense. He was basically a shoot first guy at Weber St
