I was hoping he would measure bigger than expected.

I mean, it was very self-evident he had long arms for his height, just a question of how long. +4'' is solid.
Stephon Castle is going to look like a slimmer version of Lu Dort.
He measured 198 weight at least. I was a bit worried he would be sub 190 w/ how lean he looks.
going old school
Bub Carrington with some nice numbers. 6’3.75 w/o shoes with a 6’8 wingspan.
Oh, that is good. I definitely think he should be in consideration at 10.
Sheppard just shy of 6'2 with 6'3 and change wingspan. Very short standing reach for his size at 7'9.5
I would say that's about what I expected. Nothing to bad to sway me either way.

I know topic isn't at the combine, is Risacher out as well?
Yeah, I wouldnt hate it, but probably a bit early. His game doesnt really impress me that much but he projects to be a good role player with his skillset.
I think Dadiet out as well?
I think comparing guys of the same stature is fair game. If you like Dillinghame/Shep, you have to understand that this is one of the odds they will have to overcome. I do think nitpicking over an in or a few lbs is a bit much though.
OTHO, comparing guys simply on the basis of being French or playing in the French league (even if they were completely different players) even though that showed no predicative power (French guys were good, until they weren't) was insane.

Cody Williams is my most anticipate measurement. Feel like he has the potential to have a great measurement day.

Standing reach is less bankable than straight height. Connaughton famously tanked his standing reach so he had a 75" (exaggerated) vertical.
The height thing just doesn't add up imo. In private workouts I'd get out the measuring stick myself... if they don't re-measure.
Errors happen every year with transcribing the data, so it's possibly.
This is a bit bigger than I thought for Walter. He's essentially like Dante Exum.

Castle just one of those dudes who's dog rating is so high it tricks your eyes by 2 inches.
Right....maybe Castle was trying to slouch on both lol? I tend to make fun of people who agonize over pictures to determine if a guy is a half inch taller or shorter, but Castle is definitely a little bit taller and I also think he sandbagged his reach.
This is one of the situations where I'm just going to say "whatever" and enjoy Castle's defensive film. It's so good I might be willing to overlook the stocks as well.
