Center: Bismack Biyombo - 6'9" - 7'7" wingspan
Power Forward: Jonas Valanciunas - 6'11" 7'6" wingspan
Wing: DeAndre Liggins - 6'5" - 6'11" wingspan
Wing: Marshon Brooks - 6'5" - 7'1" wingspan
Point Guard: Malcom Lee - 6'4" - 6'10" wingspan


Couldn't let a draft pass without posting my wingspan guys. Avoid drafting these guys at your own peril Knicks.

Yeah, Justin Harper (6'11" wingspan, stretch 4) is probably my favorite guy in the draft. Not insane wingspan, but if he can play the wing opposite Melo then he'd be huge.

Jeremy Tyler at 6'9" / 7'5" wingspan would be nice too. Can't fault him too much for having a tough time with Japanese coaches.

Shumpert's not bad either, but everyone's saying he's way overrated if he goes in the 1st round.

Marshon Brooks would be a nice piece. What was Singleton's? He looks like a long dude

He had trouble with the Israeli coaches. His Japanese coach was Bob Hill.

Ha, that's right. I forgot about that. Dude looks nasty on video though.

Singleton is 6'7" with 7'1" ws - he's no shrimp.

What about the all "T-Rex" team.

Guys with short arms?

Would love to get Brooks but I think he's gone by the time we pick.

What is their standing reach? Standing reach is a better measurable than wingspan.

LOL about the T Rex team.

I think Marshon can become a pretty good scorer in the league. I wouldn't mind adding him, I just don't know if his game fits Melo and Amare when their is only one ball.
A lot of people wanted to add Monta Ellis to this squad prior to the Melo trade, I think his game is very similar.
If you are talking about BPA, if he actually falls to use, he would be it.

Speaking of long wingspans, what do you guys think about Brandon Wright. Last year he virtually got traded to the Nets for NOTHING. He has a qualifying offer of over 5m+ which I wouldn't be surprised if Nets don't extend.

Long arms, wingspans, agility, and hops don't make players become great basketball players but it surely is an advantage.
While on the topic, what do you guys think about Brandon Wright?
Do you guys feel he has can improve and become a rotational player for us?
I honestly think we can use a player of his caliber and take a shot if Nets don't extend that qualifying offer. A player with his wingspan can be used to guard the Lebrons, Pierce, and maybe Wade, Rose?

You're getting me all hot and bothered with talk like that.

Dallas Lauderdale should have made this squad. 6' 7.5" NA 265 7' 6.5" 8' 11.75" NA 32.0 NA NA 13.09 3.46

11' 7.75" max vert. At 265 he could bang as well. 73% FG ...he didn't do much other than dunk eh?

Yeah, I have feeling that Jay Bilas is lurking somehwere, breathing hot and heavy at Panera Bread somewhere.

Seemed like Tyler, Brooks and Harper were gettable since they were traded for. Too bad we didn't expend some resources for those guys.

WallyZ is on WFAN right now and he loves both of our picks for what its worth. Says that Shumpert doesn't have a weakness and that the Kentucky kid is a bulldozer Kendrick Perkins type.
