    If you scrolled down you'd see that there is more than just Yao Ming on that list... Jermaine O'neal, Jameer Nelson, Blake Griffin, Deron Williams.
    Not a legit list. O'Neal doesn't have short arms. Here's what I found:

    Jermaine O'neal
    6'11 height; 7'5 wingspan;

    Jonas is also 6'11 and has 7'4-7'5 wingspan, but he is considered to have long arms. What's with the double standard? Do black people need to have 8'5-9'0 wingspan to be considered to have long arms?

              • I'm starting to get more of an appreciation for Bennett.... and just because he is Canadian is a bonus.


                If Raps come out of this coming week with Bennett and Kabongo, I'd be ecstatic.

                  I like Bennett a lot...from all the crazy "rebuild" and "tank" scenarios thrown around, he's probably the only high lottery pick I'm ok with them acquiring. I'm still very skeptical about actually pulling the trigger on any trade, because I have a hard time thinking of something that makes sense...but yeah, he's the only guy I see as having obvious all-star talent, and on the scoring side I don't see him having any real issues. All about D and making the physical adjustment...think he'll struggle more with D.

                  I truly believe if he had "ideal" PF size and was something like 6'10 or even 6'9, he'd be the consensus #1. Those 2-3 inches make a big difference.

                  • Whatever happened to the stock of Thomas Robinson? He is now with the Rockets and climbed the draft after having a beastly tournament. Truth be told I was enamored with his relentless inside/rebounding play. I thought he out-Farieded Faried but alas. Havent really followed his misfortunes other than rumblings about him being undersized.

                      I'm also glad Karasev is shown to measure well on offense. I know that's not really the concern, but I feel like his offensive abilities are being underrated in this draft as the focus is largely on his shooting, and people seem to be forgetting how incredibly crafty and well-rounded he is....for a guy playing, and leading his team, in one of the best leagues in the world against men.

                      In a draft with so much uncertainty about ceilings and potential, I'd be thrilled to get him. Worst case he's a shooting specialist who can also create a bit off the bounce. That's a solid 3rd or 4th wing on any team in the NBA, even a contender.

                      • Yeah crazy fall for Robinson.

                        I look at olynyk in similar light. Not sure about these juniors who come out of nowhere.

                        • I'm not sold on Bennett. Thomas Robinson in my opinion is a better player but he's practically free for the taking from Houston. Robinson has a better wingspan, is taller, and has a higher motor (although I've seen far more footage of T-Rob then AB so that's a subjective comment). And T-Rob is not someone I would want since we already have Acy on the bench who is similar in stature (short, athletic, with a high motor).

                          I personally think that Bennett is going to struggle in the NBA. He's got more weight but I think his height and wingspan are going to really hurt him.

                              Bennett is a much better shooter, scorer than Robinson, and you MUST have a reliable jumpshot when you're an undersized big in the NBA. Robinson needs to work a lot on skill to be a good NBA player, Bennet already has a very good offensive skillset and if he expands his shot to the NBA three point line he will be a great player
