The Official 2016 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[Vancouver Grizzly Fan]

I'm actually surprised this doesn't happen alot more often, especially with the 4 year players.

There's gotta be something wrong with some of those reaches. How is Diallo short of 9 feet standing reach when he has that long of a wingspan?

Marcus Lee and Wade Baldwin are gonna make a lot of friends after their measurements

word up, Baldwin is now on my radar at 14

 

[Poitier]

Poeltl's standing reach

Its inaccurate

 

[tremonthustler1]

I hate Ellenson but he's a top 10 lock now smh

Cheick is 6'7.5" without shoes, he's within half an inch of 9'0" which is still great for his height, shoulder height is where standing reach comes into play.

Kawhi Leonard is 6'6" without shoes, 8'10" standing reach and 7'3" wingspan, almost the same as Cheick.

Its inaccurate

For his sake it better be.

He is going to be a bust and you're Thanks for the shout out earlier in the thread BUT I get the feeling that you SAY you hate him, but secretly like him.

Interesting measurements, this is like the opposite of last year where guys like Winslow and Stan Johnson kind of disappointed with their measurements. Hield, Valentine, J. Brown all looking good on both height and wingspan.

Still for now there isn't much to discuss, as much as I'd like to, before we know the results of the lotto

Also how about Zhou Qi. 7'7.5 wing span... 9'4.5 standing reach. He is dominating Chinese League, much better stats out there than what Mudiay had at about the same age. Someone going to draft him top 20 at least, maybe lottery depending on work outs.

not really.....both average and Zel wore thick-sole shoes.

I mean relatively good, def above average and on the positive side of the range of measurements people had them pegged in.

He needs to add a shyt load of weight and he is soft

and dudes like Mike Beasley were dominating that league, so I don't put much into that

I doubt he ever amounts to anything in the NBA

The only thing I think Ellenson has going for him is that he comes from a good school in terms of producing tough nosed players. Other than that give me Sabonis over Ellenson

For sure Dom over Ellenson even though everyone wants stretch 4s and interior PFs are going out of style fast

Cant disagree with soft, and way too skinny... years away from contributing.
Im not necessarily advocating for him. Honestly can't say I've seen nearly enough of him to make a judgement but even with thick soles and all that those measurements are still impressive.

 

[Malta]

gotdamn Uliss is minuscule!...

lol...

Doe.


He needs to hit the weights and get up to around 175lbs though, the only way little ass guards stick in the NBA is if they're really strong for their size making backing them down difficult.
