lol..7'6 is crazy

At the draft combine it was 7'4 1/2", but that was when he was 18 or 19, so it's possible that he grew and that increased. I dunno what it is now.

Apparently the Spurs have met with Andre Drummond. Not sure why, I seriously doubt they plan to make a move. BTW, Kawhi Leonard has a freakish wingspan: 7-3.

On a side note, I see no purpose in measuring any players height by the top of their head. Some people have longer necks and larger heads but that has no effect on a players reach.

The true height of a player should be to their shoulders since that's where the most important feature (arms) start at.

They should do some ratio or formula of the height to the shoulders and wingspan.

This guy should be the no. 2 pick imo. Id take him over mkg and drummond

"@chadfordinsider: Thomas Robinson measured a 35.5 inch vert. Very good for a player his size. Blake Griffin also has a 35.5"

He certainly deserves consideration. He's on the same level as MKG in terms of being a "sure thing", IMO.

During the lottery Drummond said he lost 20 pounds but in the combine they weighed him at 280lbs

Bradley Beal is rising up draft boards apparently, and is now considered to be a contender for the #2 pick.

I thought he'd go to Washington at #3 for sure.
Wall and Beal would be a great back court combination

What are the knocks on Tyler Zeller? He seems like a solid power forward to me.

Davis is a consensus #1 and the top tier of draft picks are a toss up between Drummond, Beal, MKG, and Robinson. Not sure why Barnes is falling out, I may be swayed Bc he was an ESPN darling.

Beal has been compared to Ray Allen and Eric Gordon. Athletic, good shooter, good defender, physical and can take it to the hole.

Beal coming in at 6'4'' is huge. A lot of people thought he was 6'3''.

Not surprised. When in doubt...take the shooting guard who can actually, you know, shoot.

At least you know he can do one thing extremely well.
