Topic is 6'6 without shoes and has a 7/0 wingspan??

Yeah, dont believe it. Reminds me of when everyone thought Haliburton had a 7' wingspan.

If he really does have a 7' wingspan, he's probably in the convo for #1 pick. He then enters that grouping of elite size/skill

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

The power of suggestion is incredibly strong when it comes to wingspan.

When we were all told Haliburton had a 7' wingspan we believed it.

Just seems like he has a fairly normal basketball player wingspan, like +3'' at the most.

I believe an official measurement (as long as it's not a UK pro day lol) until there is another measurement that proves otherwise.

I do know that if you google a player's wingspan, it almost always says 7'0 in google (or at least it used to) which is probably what those lazy Ringer employee's got.

Topic is also 18, so his measurements are a moving target. He was at the BWB event in SLC last Feb. where he measured 6'5". I'd be surprised if his ws is really 7', but he doesnt need it to be an impactful lead guard.

He may have just moved to the top of my list

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Yeah, I guess Topic kind of has to be top 3 at this point.

Been watching some Tyler Kolek today. I think he has some backup PG ability. He could definitely keep a second unit running. I was going to say he reminds me aittle of Stockton but there is only 1 player that reminds me the most of Stockton, Reed Sheppard from Kentucky. Especially with the way he steals the ball.

Sheppard plays like John Stockton if he grew up watching Steve Nash.

I'm going to keep watching him closely all year. I think he could potentially be a very good NBA player.

Gonna be a conundrum for draft evaluators. Tons of steals and crazy efficient… 6-3 (wingspan?) and a little older for a freshman. Someone gonna take him mid to late lotto?

I will likely be super in but need to watch some actual games (sigh).

If he has a good game against Miami tonight I might go into full propaganda mode.

At 6'2 with a 6'3 wingspan, he can't have a super high reach, but Sheppard can really get up in space.

Dont think I've ever seen a put-back dunk off your own missed 3 at any level.

Wemby famously did it.

He is an absolute dream for Utah too… he can be what Jimmer was suppose to be.

It was inevitably going to happen lol.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Imma be honest... Reed did it better.
