Zeller:
6'10.75" w/o shoes
7'0.25" w/shoes
6'11" wingspan
8'10" reach
 
franklin remnds me of mwp a little bit

why does he wear a long sleeve jersey?
 
After a great showing at the combine Nate Wolters has some media guys calling him the biggest sleeper in the draft.

Measuring (w/shoes) 6'5" really helps his stock.

I watched Wolters come into Hec Ed and absolutely torch a rated UW team a couple years ago. Kid can ball. I just wonder if he can deal with the speed of the NBA game.

That's the game that sticks out for me.

T.Ross couldn't handle him. Neither could Wroten.
 
Olynyk:

6'10.75" w/o shoes
7'0" w/shoes
6'9.75" wingspan
9'0" standing reach

Such an odd build.

T-Rex arms but a solid standing reach.

For bigs, Indiana's Cody Zeller got a strong measurement of 6-10.75 in socks and 7-0.25 in shoes. However, his 6-10.75 wingspan and 8-10 standing reach are on the small side.

French prospect Rudy Gobert had the most ridiculous measurements of the camp: 7-0.5 in socks and 7-2 in shoes with a crazy 7-8.5 wingspan and 9-7 standing reach.

One GM on Gobert: "Those are historic measurements. It's going to help him. That sort of length can cover up lots of weaknesses."

Gonzaga's Kelly Olynyk wins the "T-Rex Award." He measured 7-0 in shoes but with only a 6-9.75 wingspan.

Those kind of measurements sure covered up a lot of Biyombo's weaknesses.

As a Centre your standing reach is much more important than wingspan. Wingspan is more important if you're a perimeter defender.
 
Standing reach is by far the most important for a big.

Totally disappointed in Zeller's reach. I assumed it'd be in the 9'0" range being a legit 7-footer.
 
Zags, you sure know how to pick 'em don't you?

Gobert also surprisingly weighed 238 lbs and I read some comments his frame could add another 20-30 lbs, only 4.4% body fat.

Dieng measured well at 7'3 1/2 and a big standing reach at 9'3 1/2, he came in a little light at 230 lbs.

Noel was scrawny at 206 lbs

Adams excellent measurements and a stud at 257 lbs

Olynyk has won me over the last couple days. Not only a big who shoots it, a fluid athlete who can put the ball on the floor.

Kelly Olynyk clearly the most skilled big man here. Looks like a guard with his handle and jumper. Measured just 6-10 wingspan vs 7-0 height

Steven Adams continues to show a better than expected skill-level in the drills. Doesn't seem to be thinking as much. Just competing hard.

Jeff Withey clearly more of a 5 on 5 guy. Body doesn't look great compared to other big men, and he hasn't been so impressive in the drills.

Teams are all over the map on Mike Muscala. Some thing he's a major sleeper. Others don't think he's a NBA player at all. I like him a lot.

So for Olynyk we are basically talking about a back up PF. That is not a knock on him as that position is important too. But does anyone think he can play center in the NBA? Is he physical enough? Does he mind banging down low with the big boys? If he can ,AND he has those type of skills, I would change my mind about him.

There aren't many here at NBA Combine that will/have helped themselves. Not much to learn. Mike Muscala definitely helped himself, though.

I would not be shocked to see two Patriot League guys go in the first round: McCollum and Muscala.
