Yeah, I know. Goodwin should get it together though.
Olynyk's wingspan is disappointing as is Wolters. Larkin is tiny. Steven Adams must have the widest shoulders at the combine as his reach should be much higher with his height and length. Zeller's probably the big winner here as his length is no longer believed to be 3 entire inches smaller than his height. Oladipo's height is a little disappointing but his length definitely isn't.
They're on ESPN Insider, but I saw this posted on RealGM, as is. If you take a deep breath and look at one line at a time, you can get by.
Adams is definitely tantalizing. If I'm Dallas and I'm looking at a future big, and Olynyk is off the board, I'd be tempted to take him over Deng & Whithey.
Crabbe is a prospect that could move up. Good size/length, good shooting stroke and good defense for a SG. He played at Cal Berkeley.
With Dirk basically having a couple good years left, I don't think Dallas is going to rely too much on the draft. Their focus will be free agency. However, it would make sense for them to take a more developed player like Dieng who can contribute right away.
You'd think so, but the player they took in last year's draft was a project and they took a punt on him. I dunno, I just don't think it's Cuban's style to "play it safe".
What? If I'm not mistaken, Crabbe is the guy they were talking about "playing defense in a tuxedo".

Random drivel from me on some targets...
Schroeder measured 6'7.75" on wingspan, a half inch larger than at the summit, and greater than any PG in the draft including MCW. His hand width is huge at 10.5', this will help him control the ball like a yoyo, as Rondo does with his huge mits.
Olynyk has to have the shortest wingspan ever for a 7 footer at 6'9.75", he will be providing zero help defense in the NBA unless its by taking charges. Don't want.
Len is a big unknown with his injury since he couldn't do the standing measurements? His wingspan is very good for a center at 7'3.5", but not elite, if Gobert and Adams excel in drills and tests, small chance he drops to 14 I think.
Dieng measured just shy of 6'11" but very good on wingspan and reach (7'3.5" and 9'3.5"). Bested Withey on both of them.
Caldwell Pope measured well with a 6'8" wingspan, 2.5" more than expected, with his great shooting stroke should help his stock.
Chad Ford mention Hardaway Jr had a 7' wingspan earlier but actual measurements show him at a very average 6'7"
