I wish hand pad thickness was included in these measurements.

 

[KqWIN]

They used to measure players with their shoes on as well and guys would routinely measure 1.5-2 inches taller in shoes. I just didn’t expect them both to be close to 6’8 in shoes that’s insane.

1.75 is pretty uncommon. Maybe a couple of guys wearing high heels, but they are the same height as most guys 6’7.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Everyone post their measurements. Mine are:

6’0 w/o shoes
6’4 wingspan

6'1.75""
6'6"
225

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Neither did I until about 5 mins ago. Whip out that tape measure real quick!

Tape measure... you think I build **** for a living

 

[SoberasHotRod]

Wing span measuring seems like a two person job, and there is no way I'm trying to explain that one to my wife. I would never hear the end of it.

So what's the knock on this dude? Why haven't we been talking about drafting him in the top 10?

I just keep liking Tay Henny more and more

 

[fishonjazz]

Damn GG is huge

And what? 18 years old. Might get huger

So this jarace walker dude. Seems like a beast physically and athletically.
Give me a comp.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Yeah. He’s certainly looking the part. I think a lot of teams could talk themselves into him hitting his potential under their coaching staff - including the Jazz. Thought there was a decent chance that he might slip to #16, but I’m starting to doubt that.

I can definitely see a team picking him in the top 10.

Draymond, but not that smart, still kinda smart. Hopefully not an ***.

I haven't watched him enough to come up with my own comp yet, but a couple of the ones I've read are Paul Milsap and Julius Randle.

Cason Wallace has very similar measurements to Marcus Smart and Cam Whitmore has very similar measurements to Jimmy Butler. Going to find a few more size comparisons. It helps me when evaluating them.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Solid for Kobe.

Very. He'd list 6'5" or even 6'6" with shoes.

Dick coming up a bit short

Speak for yourself. He's a half inch shorter than Gordon Hayward, but has the same wingspan.

So at least 6’ 5” in shoes but probably closer to what people would call 6’ 6” in years past.

I don’t want to get too wild… but Leonard reminds me of Chris Bosh… it’s his appearance and body type and the fact that he’s left handed… but looked up the measurements and he ain’t far off. Bosh had a 7-3.5 wingspan and was 6-11 in shoes. No saying he becomes that I just can’t get it out of my head because of the similar look.

I'm thrilled. I wanted him to come in over 6'8" barefoot. Wingspan is up to 6'11.5". He's a bit bigger than both Paul George and Jayson Tatum. He's also young enough to keep growing. I'd like to see him get up to around 220 lbs. Right now, he's about the same size as rookie Josh Smith.

Coming in a half inch short is significant with Dick.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Hendricks would list 6'10" with shoes, aka full retail. He's just a hair smaller than Chimezie Metu.
