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.

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.

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...
