NBA Draft: Measurement Winners

*All measurements in shoes*

Harrison Barnes, North Carolina
Barnes measured in as a prototype small forward at 6-8 in shoes, 228 pounds and a great wingspan of 6-11¼. Also, considering Barnes shooting and defensive ability, there's a good chance he'll be able to play some shooting guard for a team.

Will Barton, Memphis
At 6-6 in shoes, Barton has great size for a 2 guard as well as a terrific 6-9¾, but that's not surprising considering he averaged 8 rebounds a game last season. The real reason Barton is a winner is that he weighed in at 174, because their were some who thought he as low as 160. Barton still needs to put on weight, but this is a good start.

Jared Cunningham, Oregon State
The hope with Jared Cunningham was maybe he can play point guard, but after measuring in at 6-5 in shoes,  in addition to big time athleticism, he can definitely play 2 guard if point guard doesn't work out.

Anthony Davis, Kentucky
Not that Davis could have actually hurt his stock with his measurement, but it's always nice to confirm: 6-10½, 222 with a 7-5½ wingspan and and 9 foot standing reach, which is great for a power forward.

Andre Drummond, Connecticut
All you can say about Drummond's measuremesn: 6-11¾, 277, 7-6¼ wingspan and a 9-1½ standing reach.

Draymond Green, Michigan State
There was some thought that Green might measure in at 6-6 and be stuck between positions, but Green turned out to be 6-7½ with a 8-10 standing reach, which is definitely good enough to play power forward in today's NBA.

Moe Harkless, St. John's
Harkless measured in at almost 6-9 with a 7-0 winspan, which is terrific for a small forward. In addition to that, Harkless is a big time athlete, so you're looking at rare physical tools.

Terrence Jones, Kentucky
Jones was one of the biggest winners of the measurements when he came in at 6-9½, 252 and a 7-2¼ wingspan, which is more than good enough to play power forward in the NBA. And with the skills Jones possesses, that makes him an unique prospect at the 4.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Kentucky
The was speculation that Kidd-Gilchrist would be closer to 6-5, but he silenced all doubts measuring 6-7½ with a outstanding 7-0 wingspan, which is great for a small forward. Kidd-Gilchrist is also a great athlete, so there's no concern with him at the position.

Doron Lamb, Kentucky
I was worried Lamb might measure under his listed height of 6-4, but in fact he measured above it at 6-4¾ with a wingspan of 6-7¾, which is adequate for an NBA 2 guard. Lamb is one of the two best shooters in the draft and with his size and wingspan, he's a potential solid rotational player, maybe even starter.

Meyers Leonard, Illinois
Leonard measured in at the tallest player in the draft at 7-1¼, which is elite size for an NBA center, along with a 7-3 wingspan. Leonard is one of the only true centers in the draft, and with the dearth of centers in NBA, Leonard could surprise with how high he goes.

Damian Lillard, Weber State
Lillard came in at almost an inch above his listed height of 6-2, but what really made him stand out is the 6-7¾ wingspan, which is great for a point guard. Lillard's length, quickness, and athleticism give him the potential to be a very good defender as well as the offensive player he's always been.

Fab Melo, Syracuse
Melo measured what was expected at 7-0 with a 7-2½ wingspan, and a 9-1½ standing reach (third best in the draft), but where he really stood out was weighing in at 255 with 9.2 body fat. The more Melo works on his body, the better he'll become as a player. It appears Melo is willing to put in the work.

Quincy Miller, Baylor
Miller had some of the best measurements in the draft, coming in at 6-10 with a 7-1¼ wingspan and an outstanding 9-1 standing reach, which would be good for a center, let alone a forward. If Miller can bulk up,  there's no question he can play power forward in the NBA, which given his perimeter skills would make him an intriguing prospect to say the least. If Miller polishes his game and recovers fully from his knee injury, he could end up one of the top 5 best players in this draft.

Andrew Nicholson, St. Bonaventure
Nicholson had great measurements for a power forward at 6-9½, 234 with an outstanding 7-4 wingspan. Nicholson's defense and inside-out offensive game (including a jumpshot out to the 3) make him a potential NBA starter.

Austin Rivers, Duke
Some thought Rivers might come in at 6-3, but instead he surprised by measuring in at 6-5 with a 6-7¼ wingspan, both more than adequate for an NBA 2 guard. There's a lot that people criticize Austin Rivers about, but size can't be one of them anymore.

Thomas Robinson, Kansas
Robinson was another prospect who people suspected might come in much shorter than advertised, instead he came in right as listed and with a 7-3¼ wingspan and 8-10 reach, more than good enough to play power forward in the NBA, especially after he's already displayed elite rebounding ability.

Royce White, Iowa State
Watching Royce White, you can see the skill on there perimeter to play small forward as well as the rebounding and toughness of a power forward. Now that White has measured in at 6-8, 261 with a 7-0 wingspan and 8-8½ reach, good enough to play at least part time at power forward in the NBA.

Tony Wroten Jr, Washington
Man, if Tony Wroten can ever figure out who to shoot and play in control, he'll be a freak of a point guard in the NBA, measuring in a 6-6 with a 6-9 wingspan...
