Here's DX's measurements sheet:
http://www.draftexpress.com/nba-pre-draft-measurements/2017/NBA+Draft+Combine/all/all/1/height/desc

Also some commentary from DX about the measurements:
http://www.draftexpress.com/article/2017-nba-draft-combine-measurements-analysis-5927/

-Terrance Ferguson measured 6'7 in shoes with a 6'8.75 wingspan. Ferugson isn't particularly long for an elite shooting guard prospect, but he is among the tallest ever measured rendering his standing reach pretty solid for his position.
....
-Potential preps to pros prospect Hamidou Diallo, who took a detour to Kentucky before re-emerging here, measured 6'5 in shoes with a 6'11.25 wingspan at 197 pounds. Diallo has gained some 10 pounds since last summer, a good sign for the still lean 18-year-old, and his wingspan would rank him among the longest shooting guard prospects in our database all-time whenever he opts to stay in the draft.

Thomas Bryant measured really well and has been shooting the ball really well in workouts. I could see him landing in the first round. He should be a solid inside/outside 5.

DJ Wilson measured very well considering how fluid and skilled he is. He needs to work on his body, but he's got a ton of potential.

Yeah, I'm relatively high on Wilson. He's really smooth moving for his size. Fluid indeed.

I dont see him at much more than 225 or 230. As a 4 he needs to maintain max mobility

Rudy was 238 at the combine and he looked skinny as hell... Jeanne is 7'2" and 207lbs. That's like... almost concerning for his health.

Yeah, only 6'9 and he has to be a C in the NBA. He has some Chuck Hayes potential though. If you would have told me his wingspan was 7'5 I would have believed it from the plays he was making on defense.

I feel like vertical leap is the least telling number at the combine. Doug McDermott had the same leap as Westbrook...With that said, the concern is real for Giles and it is really sad :(

Giles and Rabb with the same max vertical at 32.5". I guess that may be the new reality for Giles.

Jazz got to see Wilson in a workout already. If Wilson misses out on the athletic testing, it shouldn't matter.

DJ Wilson's measurements (height/standing reach) similar to Anthony Davis. Not as much wingspan, but he's long and mobile enough to impact the game defensively.

He was definitely on the short list at #24 before today.
