Very confused by your reaction. Bufkin had a meh measurement and you responded with a thumbs up smiley and Cissoko had a great measurement and you responded with a thinking emoji...plz explain?

Not sure I agree with this.
There are multiple factors to be a good defender, such as quick hands, quick feet, wingspan, defensive mindset, etc.
However, wingspan still provides better ground coverage, contesting shot, recovery, etc.
As for game play footage, it is hard to apply that to "potential", otherwise, this year first overall pick would be someone with better performance instead of potential.
Agree. Multiple factors impact great defenders, that's why Marc was able to win the award. However we've seen how disruptive a team full of players with long wingspans can be.
Players aren't disruptive because they have long wingspans. FVV has one of the shortest wingspans in the league and he's disruptive. Being disruptive is a mentality with anticipatory skills and a willingness to have active hands. Having a long wingspan just allows you to be slightly more disruptive if you have that mentality when an extra few inches happens to make a difference in game situations, which isn't often.
I honestly could care less what a player's wingspan is. If they're a good defender or shot maker, it'll show up in the stats and tape, not in their listed wingspan.

6.5 and a half?
6.5 lefty PG, maybe you can hope for your best Fox impersonation
Yes, now BPMGatekeeper's whole theory about 6'4 guards which he tried to apply to Bufkin has gone down the toilet and I warned him about the accuracy of listed heights.

He displayed very nice growth from last year to this year. He was very efficient offensively, he shot well from the line and flashed a 3pt shot. He also has nice defensive positional versatility potential. I think he's going in the lottery.

I wonder if he tanked his standing reach to get a better vertical. Its pretty low at 8 feet

He’s hiding in plain sight. I know he’s awkward to watch play, but if a guy was on Duke or UConn averaging 18/8 this season he’d open a lot of eyes. Leo’s doing that against better competition and getting very little love.
It seems like he’s near the top of every athletic testing drill as well. He’s ready.
