2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

I get lying when it makes sense, but I dont really see the value of Ainge saying he likes the 2024 draft more than the 2023. I'm sure you can probably talk yourself into some kind of motive, but I think it's just Ainge musing in the moment.
I think he kinda just likes throwing stuff in there… we just can’t act like it’s gospel. I don’t think he had done some detailed analysis. May have a guy or two he likes in that draft or was just kinda downplaying the 23 draft.
 
Is shoulder height measurements a new thing?
I can see it as a better measurement of size, as you may have a long neck and big head but that doesn't do much for your overall size. Shoulder height is a direct reflection of overall size, when you think about it. Like in Fletch, when he was 6'4", but 6'8" with the afro.
 
Is shoulder height measurements a new thing?
not sure if that's just a hoop summit thing or not. but it's sorta interesting. looks like most guys are anywhere from 11" to a foot from shoulder to top of the head. if you're under 11" you have a short neck/head area and if you're over a foot, you have a longer than normal neck/head area. Aiden Holloway and Miro Little seem to be on each end of the spectrum. only about an inch apart in height, but nearly 4 inches in shoulder height. not really sure what the take away is supposed be, if any. at the end of the day, a combination of height and wingspan probably matters most.
