nice draft express article about some of the interesting measurements

Plenty to pour over here, enjoy.

Kelly O with a 6'9" wingspan is kinda weird for a 7 footer

The top two SG's both come in under 6.4" in socks. (McLemore and Oladipo) McCollum is only an inch shorter. I wonder if McLemore will drop. He does not seem to be any better than some SG's rated a lot lower.

Anyone got a feel for how he stacks up against Bradley Beal? Both jumpshooting, smallish, one and done SGs. Seems like McLemore had a better college season yet Beal's stock stayed high and he lived up to it as the NBA season wore on. I get the impression Beal is the higher rated guy but maybe I'm way off.

This is fun: the Alligator Arm Index. Seems to be a white guy problem (this year, at least - Bayless and Roy both have it).

What's crazy is that Gobert is over 7 foot AND has disproportionately long arms. Crabbe intrigues me, too.

Wally Gator Arms! Just like Bayless!

Zeller's max no-step vert of 11'10" is extremely impressive. That's only 2" shorter than pre-MF surgery Oden.

LMA's is 11'5" fwiw. Gobert is at 11'6".

Skill and athleticism more than make up for his below average length. I bet he rises back into the top-6.

I'm starting to think this draft may be more impressive than is commonly believed. Perhaps not the lebrons or Durants, but many solid starters will come from this class. Especially centers. I think there are 5-8 centers that are intriguing and should translate to the NBA. Only time will tell.
