What's the wingspan for Whitmore?

Bad measurements I would say. Wingspan is 'fine' not amazing for a SF, but his hands are legit tiny.

[clyde21]

Ausar has bigger hands than Amen, otherwise they are virtually identical measurement wise

DWH with 10" hands

Winners and losers?

[clyde21]

Leonard Miller most definitely a winner on day 1

6-9.25 without shoes, 7-2 wingspan, 10.50 inch hands, 37.5 inch vert

[CptCrunch]

Here are the agility/vertical numbers: https://www.nba.com/stats/draft/combine-strength-agility?SeasonYear=2023-24&dir=D&sort=STANDING_VERTICAL_LEAP

I await the Thompson numbers tomorrow. If I don't see some 38 stand/45 running type of vertical, gtfo with that generational athlete hype.

[clyde21]

Jordan Walsh another...6-6 without shoes, 7-2 wingspan, 8-11 standing reach, killed the shooting drills

also AB coming in at 6-6 without shoes with a 39" vert, 9.5 inch width hands

Julian Phillips and Omax Prosper pretty obvious winners.

[clyde21]

Podz for sure a winner too, 39" vert with 10" hands, did well in drills

bad w/s tho

[clyde21]

Cam hand size is disappointing, but did come in at 6-6 without shoes which is surprisingly good, thought he'd be closer to 6-5, also got the 3rd best vert, and top 10 in lane agility

Grant Nelson also a winner

[clyde21]

top 10 w/s

Edey 7-10.5
Kalkbrenner 7-5
Tshiebwe 7-3.5
Gueye 7-3.25
Sanogo 7-2.5
Vukcevic 7-2.5
Walker 7-2.5
L Miller 7-2
Rupert 7-2
Timme 7-1.75
Walsh 7-1.75

obviously Wemby would've been #1 here even above Edey...Lively would be top 10 in there somewhere too if he measures. some crazy numbers

GG 6-8 without shoes, 6-11.5 wingspan

GG's height, length and bounce comp to John Collins in 2017. He might still be growing though. He's added an inch-and-a-half of wingspan in the past year. He's got a fair amount of physical development still to do as well.

[EvanZ]

Kalkbrenner is huge

[EvanZ]

Taylor Hendricks and GG being the exact same size is wild.

[NO-KG-AI]

Looks like most of the 6'6-6'8 wing prospects actually measured pretty accurately. Bates standing reach isn't as bad as expected. Walsh just plays with so much nastiness it's just hard to see that guy failing at the NBA level.

[The-Power]

Walsh just plays with so much nastiness it's just hard to see that guy failing at the NBA level.

If you're below a certain threshold on offense, it's very easy for such players to not make it in the NBA.

[EvanZ]

Bona is not as big as I hoped. Gueye is actually a bit bigger.

I think he's probably a better version of Anthony Lamb eventually, but he'll spend a couple years in the G.

[EvanZ]

I can't believe Terq actually came in at *under* 165 lbs. Jesus that kid can't put on weight to save his life (or job).
