Where are you hearing/seeing this?


It was on somebody's twitter. I apologize for not linking, I'll try to track down where I saw it.

I think we're taking Wiseman. I don't know if we keep him or trade down with Charlotte or Chicago.
I wouldnt budge on a lightly protected 1st. All the smoke we're hearing now is gamesmanship and arm twisting.
Teams might not get serious with offers until his name is actually called.

Is this official now? I was calling BS on him being 6"7 or 8 this whole time.

nbadraft.net has had us taking Edwards since day 1. Now just this afternoon they have us taking Wiseman and GS taking Edwards. Isn't that interesting?

Ball goes 3 to Cha.

Sounds like a deal going down.

I tried to find something official and saw nothing. Maybe it was reported on TV? It’s certainly possible but I’d be surprised at the wingspan since it’s consistently been reported at 6’9” or more.

I never had anything to say regarding wingspan. I didn't buy into the new height rumors. Think of this. If he's 6'6" in shoes he's only one inch taller than Rubio or Russell. Nothing to get all hyped about.

Did official measurements for him leak?


I am really curious about this as well. I've never seen a listing that I would consider to be the result of an actual physical measurement. Everything I've seen seems more rumored measurement than hard data.

Since my favorite player in the draft (Tyrell Terry) doesn't seem to be in consideration for #1 overall I would take and keep Wiseman. I don't see any fit issues with him and KAT, they can share the floor with Wiseman playing the 4.

Hey Liangelo,

I assume you're with them now, how about breaking out the measuring tape and ending this speculation?

6’7.25” doesn’t seem like an estimate. Sounds like someone measures him. I want to know the wingspan. Thats so important when it comes to defensive potential.

I couldn't find it, so don't take it as gospel.
I read something this morning and my web browsing has been a bit chaotic. :D

The only thing I found was 6'7 with a 6'10 wingspan which was sourced from his trainer (so take it with a big grain of salt).

He doesn't look to have long arms for his height from what video I've seen.
If he had tremendous wingspan you think he would have let them measure him at the combine.
For what it's worth I don't believe the 7'6 wingspan number on Wiseman either, but I'd be surprised if it was less than 7'3.

Now they just switched it back to Edwards, Wiseman, Ball in that order.
