8-11.5 for Jabari and 8-11 for Wiggins?????

That can't be true. Jabari measured at 8-8 for the Olympics and with his profile (6-8.5, 6-11.5 wingspan for the Olympics) it makes more sense.

Cavs draft Embiid & never look back.

7'1 Hakeem is GOAT potential.

I'm surprised Wiggins is close to 6'9"....

Would have thought he'd barely be 6'8" in shoes.

Never understood why they measure in shoes...

I heard they also play in shoes but it could be a rumor, I never seen an actual NBA game.

@ Wiggins: There are no players in the DraftExpress database with a 7' wingspan who are under 6'9" with shoes.

This is nice and all, but it's not just about size...it's how they use it.

Judging by your post, I believe you haven't.

I'm 6'7 in shoes & that's the height I give to people.

I think it makes sense to measure in shoes. I mean, it's not like they're playing on the court barefoot. I'm fine with them giving both barefoot & sneaker measurements tbh...
