Pre-draft measurements already here

imagine Yao Ming. Better for shooting but bad for rebounding.

 

I keep saying it. Solomon Alabi has nearly the exact same measurables as Whiteside and more offensive game currently. I just see Whiteside as a bust for some reason.

 

did Jeff Foote forget to bring his shoes????

 

Here is a closer look at his hands. Do his hands look small compared to his length?

Anybody with insider?

 

I think you're forgetting his arm length......it's not always proportional. Would you say your own hands are small? Whiteside's may be small for his height, but maybe yours are large enough to palm a ball, so that would make whiteside's fine for playing ball.

but comapred to the other top wingspans that is short, so maybe there was a typo and they meant 9.25

 

I don't think they'd mess up something like that. There are only two possibilities:

1. The poster has big hands for his size (Mickey Mouse?)
2. Whiteside has small hands for his wingspan.

Like you said though, I think past a certain size (able to palm the ball) hand size doesn't matter as much. Sure bigger is better, however once you're already able to palm the ball I don't think it makes much of a difference.

Babbit, Favors, Brackins, Davis, Uhoh and Henry have some impressive numbers.
Shame on Varnado and his 3 reps @ 185 lbs.
Paul George has no results, shame.
Cousins runs the lane agility drill faster than Avery Bradley, lmao.
White with the only 40" vertical.
