easy to see why Heat scouts were impressed at his workouts, pure shooters are always needed. We finished dead last in FT% so he'll help out there too.
Problem is unless he gets a better first step and a tighter handle I don't see him really getting fouled all that often.

I dont see why people kept complaining about Herro's arm length. I don't see short arms that may negatively affect his game but then again it's summer leagues and your opponents are mostly rookies and d-league bound scrubs.

I know people like to lean on measurables but still :manny:

helps with finishing at the rim, and defending and he didn't look too good in either department in summer league.

Having long arms just makes things a little easier on a player. Wade had long arms, which led to all those blocked shots and steals

It helps but thats not there is to it. On defense, if you have lateral quickness you can make up for it. Looking at his skillset i dont think he'll venture into the lane much for the most part on offense.

The way people kept bringing this up I thought homie was handicapped by it or something.

Someone get me the measurables on his wingspan and also some average comps to compare with

Herro height: 77 wingspan: 75.75 for a -1.25 negative wingspan

So basically these cats were over worrying over a length that's the radius of less than 2 bottle caps:beli:
I'm not expecting homie to be some defensive stallworth or anything but the night of the draft I saw about 17 posts complaining about homie's arm length as if he had Tiryon Lannister's midget/dwarf arms on a 6'5" body.

I'd love to see a list of players in the league with similar negative wingspans.
