Interesting write-up with a few player highlights and then the attached Database. Here are links to both:

Nigel Hayes and Wade Baldwin have SICK wingspans. Holy Octopus Batman!

 

Dorian Finney-Smith is a measurement/athletic freak! http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Dorian-Finney-Smith-6249/

6'7" with a 7 foot wingspan and a 41+" vertical leap.

Damian's fellow alum Joel Bolomboy with an almost 7'2" wingspan, 37" vertical and a 12' max vertical reach. http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Joel-Bolomboy-66144/

 

I'd like to pick him up in the second round if we can spend some cash for a pick.

 

If for some reason he isn't drafted, he seems like an almost automatic invite to be invited to Blazers Summer Camp.

 

Too much stock is put in measurements.

Bbiq/intangibles >> height/length

As long as they aren't completely zeros athletically, of course. This is the reason why Sabonis and Ulis will be taken way too low. Same thing could've been said about Draymond, Thomas, etc.

 

Boob-No-More: 6'4.5" with an 8'5" standing reach, a 36" vertical and hands the size of dinner plates.

Oh wait, you said 2016 pre-draft measurements, not 1916. My bad, wrong century.

I'm sorry, I know it's crude, but every time I see this I think of a gay male friend who said that, instead of all female beauty pageants giving bust size, he wanted to see all male pageants giving ... well, you can guess. I can't see any reference to male measurements without thinking of my friend...

 

Maybe it's not a bad idea that the dimension of certain members be provided. Based on the Oden case, there's reason to believe that there may be a correlation with weak articular cartilage.

 

And small hands,e!

 

Hat size?

 

Imagine the hype Vonleh would be getting if he were in this draft:

6'9.5" | 7'4.25" wingspan | 247 lbs | 37" vert | 2nd largest hands ever measured at the combine

At the same age - Dwight Howard:

6'10.25" | 7'4.5" wingspan | 240 lbs

He has elite length for a PF and already strong enough to check centers. Crazy that he's only 20 years old to boot.

 

I would trade his ass in a second for sabonis.

 

As would I.
