huh? what does your height and wingspan have to do with how high Reed Sheppard jumped at the combine?

I am saying I am much smaller than Redd Sheppard and my standing reach is 7-9. There is no way his is even close to that. The vertical numbers from him are useless.


gotcha. either way, i have a hard time believing he shortened his reach by 6-8 inches. 2 inches, i can see that.

Maybe not, I just can't believe that his standing reach would be sub 8'.

How is Dalton Knecht not in consideration for the #1 pick?


he'll be a 24 year old rookie, he'd be approaching 30 by the time his first contract is up

178 pounds at PF is just so bad.

He's legitimately 50 pounds underweight right now.


Dude is Austin Daye basically with these measurements


Since when is Cody Williams not a full time perimeter player?

Oldhead a vet as a rookie. :lol:

Still if he drops to Charlotte at #6 I wouldn't hesitate to draft him. He's pro ready and a walking bucket on offense.

:lol:

I forgot about Zion. 6'6, 284 lbs. He'd be a great DE for the Saints though.

This might actually be a positive considering he will be on the rookie scale during his prime.

Zach Edey is the biggest winner of the combine... for the second year in a row.

Are any of those numbers valid? Seems like the NBA **** everything up.

If there weren't questions about Ware's motor, he would have went around the same place Lively went last year. He is going to have that dog him until he utilizes his immense physical gifts unfortunately.

Back when Ware and Whitemore played for team USA U18 in 2022. Whitemore was the best player. Ware was by far the most athletic player on the floor. Ware has so much athletic talent. All I remember was him flying on the court; jumping higher than anyone else with rebounds and dunks.

Brunson, Conley, Mitchell, Trae, Rozier, Bane, Garland, Pritchard, Paul, McCollum, Kyrie, Lillard, Fox, Quickley, Maxey and George are all around 6'2" or shorter. So please relax about guard heights. It's not ideal obviously but it's not a death sentence either.

I'm not remotely concerned about Cody Williams weight. Ask anybody who trains and they'll tell you he has the frame to put on mass. It also didn't stop him from scoring inside at Colorado.

It did stop him from rebounding, defending, blocking shots... Basically everything other than scoring inside actually.

3rd pic in article. He's eye to eye with Steph. If he's taller than 6'2" it's not by much. He conveniently didn't get measured at the combine
