Smaller than Beal


To small to not be very skilled. Also to small to be a defensive specialist in the NBA.


measurements are eerily similar to those of marcus smart at his nba combine. it's a shame smart wasn't able to be a defensive specialist in the nba. coulda been something.

I'm kind of amazed Clingan is 280.

I'm worried about his feet/ankles.

yeah, the 6'11" height w/out shoes is great for him, but the negative ws isn't ideal.

Holy ****, they gotta get a retraction all around about that. Those measurements are good for Cater but devastating for Castle.

if those are not Castle's numbers, my guess is between 6'3 and 6'4" without shoes and roughly 6'7" wingspan for Castle.

Sheppard refusing to extend his arms during his standing reach to get good vert numbers is so funny, lmao.

His measurements are good except his standing reach is extremely bad and it's easy to guess why...

Knecht Height w/o shoes: 6' 5.25', standing reach: 8' 7.50'' wingspan 6' 9.00''

I was hoping he'd be taller.

6'1.75" without shoes, 6'3.25" wingspan, 7'9.5" standing reach.


Those are bad, 4th smallest wingspan.

The only good about them is people are more focused on how awful Dillinghams are.

Sheppard was expected to measure in at 6'1" without shoes with a 6'3" wingspan based on Kentucky measurements so he exceeded expectations.

Shep is 3 inches shorter than curry. Horrible wingspan. He’s going to drop like a rock

Yeah, and given all the chatter about how he was going to end up being 2" shorter than Dillingham i'd put him as a riser today.

I kept seeing people say Sheppard and Dilly would measure 6-3. Sheppard pretty much can't play the 2 at that size. Dilly def shouldn't play the 2 at that size. Especially with his weight..

imo, while those measurements are bad, they are about what most realistic people who aren't blind expected. i don't think he drops as a result for that reason.

Curry is 6'2" without shoes dude. Sheps .25" shorter.

His wingspan isn't even a full inch shorter. Maybe I'm missing the joke.
