A 7'6 wingspan would put him on par with Giannis.
He was 6'9" w/o shoes with a 7'1" wingspan before his junior season.

Right but where is your source for him having a 7'6" wingspan now?
He grew 2 inches. You don't think his wingspan grew? Read the article, it says his wingspan is 7'6" now, and his growth plates were still open. He was a late bloomer. David Robinson joined the navy and was shorter than the required 6'7" height limit and then grew to be 7'1". Some people grow late.

If you listen to Ringer NBA Show Wos gave us some serious props today. Love to see it. He has some concerns that I think a lot of us have lol.
Fine print disclaimer for Fultz:
I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.

I didn’t measure him :lol: but JI is the biggest guy on the team and has been, even with Vuc. (I guess Goga is right there too). If you stand near the bench you get a real sense of size. AG was smaller than you’d think, for example. Isaac and Vuc are every bit of 7’…regardless of hair. JI is massive - I don’t doubt that wingspan at all.

Hmm well it depends on which resource you trust more then.

Official pre-draft measurements or a one-off article written by Josh Cohen.

He didn't do official pre-draft measurements. Those measurements some people go by were prior to his junior year in HS. Most of the players in the lottery don't do official measurements during pre-draft. It's optional.

Like many high picks, Isaac wasnt measured at the combine, so no official pre-draft measurements. His ''official measurements'' are from the the hoop summit pre College.

Ive said this after game 5, but can we get WCJ to attack Mobley? Anyone see that one play in game 6 when WCJ bullied him all the way to the rim from the 3pt line like he wasnt even there? I want more of WCJ attacking that match up.

Are we hoping Allen comes back for game 7? He was their best player in the first 4 games & the double big lineups had the best rating but having a in theory better shooter at the 4, helped their guard play alot.

In the end it probably comes down to Franz & Suggs finally playing good in Cleveland.

Coaching in the NBA is overrated. The team with the best players typically wins. We hyper-focus on things like rotations when our best players simply aren’t playing well enough, or the talent as a whole just isn’t there.

I feel like he has hit a wall. 1st full season in a long time and only averaged 15 minutes next year.

I look forward to what he brings next season. I will be curious if he works on strength or keeps his body where it’s at.


We didn't watch the same game, he WAS HUGE in defense


He had some big plays no doubt and was critical.

His energy level seems dampened but he is still playing hard and making a difference.

It was anxious times, felt like the rope was slipping but they hanged on to it! Now we got them on the ropes (8 second violations and failure to box out). Time to deliver the knockout punch.

We have experienced runs against us so many times I don’t think it even phases our guys. It’s just a part of the game and you stay on your game.

There are "sources" all over the internet that say one thing or another. One article says 7-1, another says 7-2, this article written by an Orlando Magic employee says 7-6.

You can believe what you want then, if you think it's plausible that a guy's wingspan can grow five inches in a year then more power to ya i guess.

Date of that article that states 7-6: July 2018

Date of this article that states 7-1: May 2017

Draftexpress was quoting his old measurement. He's a legit 7' now with shoes and has a 7'6" wingspan. His growth plates were open, and he had a late growth spurt after the Hoop summit measurements.
