    NBA Draft Combine

    Height/Weight/Body Fat/Reach, etc...have been listed on a couple websites.

    No UNI guys listed on this one, but more thorough info: http://www.nbadraft.net/2010-nba-dra...l-measurements

    Koch/Eglseder listed. I'm really very surprised that Jordan is shorter than 6'11". I didn't think that would be the case. Adam Koch being a legit 6'8" is good stuff also. Some interesting guys that UNI has faced are shorter than once believed also. Link: http://www.nbadraft.net/2010-nba-dra...l-measurements
    The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

    John Wall is 6' 2.75" and has a 6" 9.25" wingspan. Those are some serious monkey arms.

        I've never understood why they do the "shoes off" height. Pretty sure everyone plays in shoes...which adds at least an inch.

          I think because of the fact that shoes are so different. But I'm not sure what difference that really makes in the end.

            The only problem with forgoing the bare foot measurement is players would artificially increase their height simply by picking out the tallest shoes on the market for the height check.

            The bare foot measurement eliminates any possible manipulation.

                      Are you kidding me? Racist? Not PC? WHAT? The guy has arms that are 7 inches longer than his height... People have said it about Jordan Eggs for 4 years and NO one has ever said it was racist or not pc... Who cares about the color of your skin, that has NOTHING to do with the statement.

                      P.S. Monkey arms are GREAT in basketball!!!! Look at some of the best defenders in the NBA, they have HUGE wingspans. It isn't a knock to be called monkey arms in the NBA. not when they are using those arms to make millions of dollars and laugh all the way to the bank

                        I love the logic in this thread.

                        Person A says a player has monkey arms because they have unusually long arms.

                        Person B draws the conclusion person A made the comment not to describe the players long arms, but to make a disguised negative reference about the players skin color.

                        As for political correctness , I will never aspire to be PC. Being PC is for totalitarian leftists who have no other way of feeling good about themselves. It's almost like a doctrine for the religion of leftism. A doctrine they claim to uphold, but in reality don't even understand what they are following. Most are quick to confront someone using terms like Indian in lieu of Native American or African American instead of Black; only to turn around and call a firefighter a fireman (not gender neutral therefore not PC) or to say merry Christmas instead of happy holidays. They sing "bah bah black sheep" to there kids instead of "bah bah rainbow sheep". They use the vary language they claim to oppose. To me, it gets really annoying. [/ rant caused by someone calling my comment racist and not PC]

                            BINGO. Get a grip, people. Monkeys have long arms. So does John Wall. The only comparison between John Wall and a monkey is that they are both, in fact, long-armed. I could easily assume John Wall is white, since no pertinent information was given regarding his race. Thus, SpanishMoon, I am forced to say this to you:

                              Guys,

                              Why oh why does anybody even respond to the drivel that Spanish Moon all too frequently posts on here? Aren't his attention craving ways obvious to anyone besides myself?

                              DON'T. FEED. THE. TROLL.
