    Thought this might be of interest to everyone. It is the height/weight info from the Chicago camps. Info from ESPN Insider. Interesting to see Jeffries be TALLER than reported at 6'11". Between that and him getting stronger over the last few months I bet he really moves up!

    And it looks like Yao is OFFICIALLY listed at 7'6" and now we know Caron Butler is 6'6 1/2"

    Enjoy!

    NBA Draft: Size matters

    Although they declined to participate in the pre-draft camps, most of the top prospects in the draft did show up in Chicago on Saturday for physicals and official measurements.

    The measurements are an event that teams watch with a bit of anticipation. Colleges are notorious for inflating the heights of their players and poor measurement can really hurt a player's stock.

    This year Caron Butler, Kareem Rush, Dajuan Wagner and Jay Williams all measured shorter than listed. Jared Jefferies actually measured an inch taller.

    Wingspans are a big deal in the pros when measuring a prospects' defensive potential. Jason Jennings had the longest wingspan at 7-foot-7. Nene Hilario and Melvin Ely both had 7-foot-4 wingspans, which should really help their cause. A few players, like Mike Dunleavy, Yao Ming, Qyntel Woods and Williams have pretty short arms relative to their size.

    Here are how the top prospects measured out on Saturday. All heights are with shoes (in most cases an inch and half taller than without shoes).

    Carlos Boozer: 6' 9 1/4" | 258 lbs | 7' 2 1/4" wingspan
    Curtis Borchard: 7' 1/4" | 238 lbs | 7' 2 1/2" wingspan
    Caron Butler: 6' 6 1/2" | 222 lbs | 6' 11 1/2" wingspan
    Mike Dunleavy: 6' 9 1/2" | 230 lbs | 6' 9" wingspan
    Melvin Ely: 6' 10 | 240 lbs | 7' 4" wingspan
    Drew Gooden: 6' 10" | 227 lbs | 7' 1/2" wingspan
    Rod Grizzard: 6' 7 3/4" | 193 lbs | 7' wingspan
    Marcus Haislip: 6' 9 3/4" | 221 lbs | 7' wingspan
    Nene Hilario: 6' 10 3/4" | 253 lbs | 7' 4 1/2" wingspan
    Jared Jeffries: 6' 11" | 230 lbs | 7' 1/2" wingspan
    Jason Jennings: 7' 1/2" | 249 lbs | 7' 7" wingspan
    Yao Ming: 7' 6 1/4" | 296 lbs | 7'4 3/4" wingspan
    Kareem Rush: 6' 5 3/4" | 199 lbs | 6' 9 3/4" wingspan
    Amare Stoudemire: 6' 10" | 233 lbs | 7' 1 3/4" wingspan
    Dajuan Wagner: 6' 2" | 193 lbs | 6' 8 1/2" wingspan
    Chris Wilcox: 6' 9 1/2" | 218 lbs | 7' 1" wingspan
    Frank Williams: 6' 2 3/4" | 212 lbs | 6' 8" wingspan
    Jay Williams: 6' 1 3/4" | 197 lbs | 6' 3 1/2" wingspan
    Qyntel Woods: 6' 8 1/2" | 213 lbs | 6' 10" wingspan
