more news... On the measurement front The biggest surprise was that T. J. Ford measured 6-foot-? with shoes on. That's considerably taller than the 5-foot-9 at which many had him pegged. Carmelo Anthony measured just 6-7? with shoes. He was 6-6? without them. He does have a nice, 7-foot wingspan. Also a few teams questioned his weight. He weighed 234 in Chicago, about 14 pounds above his listed playing weight of 220 at Syracuse. Chris Bosh also measured on the tall side at 6-foot-11? with shoes. He weighed in at 225, about 15 pounds heavier than his playing weight. Bosh's 7-3? wingspan also helped him. David West got a big bump in his stock when he measured 6-8? without shoes and 6-9? with. Combine that with a 7-4? wingspan, and West's stock could really move up the charts. Josh Howard and Dwyane Wade impressed everyone with great wingspan measurement. Howard measured 6-foot-6? with shoes but recorded an amazing 7-foot-2 wingspan. Wade measured 6-foot-4? with shoes and had a 6-foot-10? wingspan. Mike Sweetney also helped himself. For big men, teams look at standing reach. Despite measuring just 6-foot-8 with shoes, Sweetney's standing reach was just a hair under nine feet. That puts him in the same category with Bosh. In other words, like Elton Brand, Sweetney will be able to play "taller" than he actually is. Chris Kaman measured 7-? with shoes, but his smallish wingspan 6-11? may hurt him a bit. Pavel Podkozline's official measurements were 7-foot-5, 303 pounds with shoes. His standing reach was 9-8. Darko Milicic's 7-foot-5 wing span (he measured 7-? with shoes) was second only to Chris Marcus, who had a shocking 7-foot-8 span.
Kamans wing span isnt bad.. its almost 7 foot.. thats not bad at all.. i dont understand how that could hurt him what did jarvis hayes come in at?? why do they measure them barefoot.. i thought they played ball in shoes??
Bosh's wingspan is even more impressive cause hes so skinny.. They don't factor in body width, so he has some long arms. Guys with huge shoulders might have big wingspans but not when they reach straight up, which is more important

Jarvis Hayes measurements were posted somewhere else but I can't remember where
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "STCBBall3":</div><div class="quote_post"> Just a note, TJ Ford has a 44' inch vertical.</div> holly so he can do nice dunks then right
I think he was in the McDs dunk contest when he was a high school senior. There are also clips of him in the Ball Above All DVD.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "t.mcbraggart":</div><div class="quote_post">that article said Lampe can't dunk off one foot??? What the heck is wrong with him..he's 7 feet</div> Lmao
has anyone heard of Kosta Perevid? He's on NBAdraft.net for 2004 prospects going 6th. He is 7'3 and says he has a huge frame to add muscle.
Yes, Ford is a GREAT dunker. If you have the video Ball Above All, he is in it. I forget exactly where it is, he has cornrows back then, and he is wearing a mesh jersey.
