What's new

Following potential 2017 draftees...

I love this draft. So many good players... well into the 20s. It's a great draft to have 4 draft picks and 2 first rounders.
 
Height and standing reach are correlated, being taller than someone doesnt cause you to have a higher standing reach than them.

Nope. They are correlated. Use of term is correct (not sure what clean means)

Yes they are correlated, correlation describes a degree of similarity and most of the time a taller person's standing height is larger than a shorter person's. What I mean by unclean is that he didn't accurately point out that despite the measurements being correlated there are still a (large) number of exceptions to that "rule" Those players' effective playing height is larger than what the measurements make you think at first sight.

I'd love for the NBA to pick up shoulder height and arm length as measurements at the combine, as those two are really important traits for
excelling at NBA basketball.

Other than that DJ Wilson's measurements look intriguing. You just need someone who can obstruct Durant's view of the basket if you plan on contending in the next 5 years.
 
Kobi Simmons is an interesting prospect to watch in the 2nd round. He's 6'5", skinny with a 38" inch vertical. Needs to tighten his handle and work on his shot, but he's a quick with 2-way potential.
 
How are people feeling about Cameron Oliver vs. Semi Ojeleye so far?

You guys think Ojeleye is really a wing and Oliver can't be?
