OK4 has an even longer wingspan, and a greater standing reach.

Still no updated numbers since 2014, though, which is annoying.

I wonder if Towns can defend at 4 on the perimeter in the NBA, this is yet to be determined.

Everybody want to be a stretch 4, but you also have to guard the position.

Still think his best position is at center.

Also his ass isn't large enough. He'll never amount to anything in the NBA with that flat ass.

But........Its a great thread starter!!!!

Post the picture!

I thinks Towns may be hindered on D against quicker 4s, if they actually play him at that position.

Watch Ferguson on the Jets at left tackle in recent years. Guy has giraffe legs and is having more and more trouble keeping in front of D-lineman.

He's tall enough and strong enough to guard any center in NBA history....If anything, this increases Ok4's shorter perception. I always thought Ok4 was the shorter one. One thing you have to consider is what these guys where on the basketball court. When I go to work, I'm 5'11.....When I play ball, I'm 6'0 or taller......This is because of my insoles and double socks I wear on the court, to reduce shock and provide more cushion on my knees. So that's why I laugh at how people think height dimensions without shoes is important. That only counts when playing volley ball in the sand.

Jason Terry already admitted that he wears 4 or 5 pairs of socks, so he buys bigger shoes to fit. Well, this also increases his height. But it gives him longevity on those 38 yr old knees.

Comparing height in church shoes is irrelevant.

His height will certainly not deter me from picking this kid. I love his game and actually believe he is the best player in the draft with Russell as the 1a. Next dude in my opinion is WCS.

I think his height is fine, and he's a good athlete. He's about 6'11" in shoes at this point, has long arms, and can jump.

Just wonder what his eventual position is, and whether he can hold his own on the perimeter at the 4 position if that is where they chose to play him.

I've seen him close out on a perimeter shooter when he played in a zone, and recover when he was helping inside and the ball was kicked outside, but you have not seen guard quicker guys on the perimeter on a regular basis.

Do you really want him running around much on D? He can be an offensive force...why wear him down guarding quicker 4s on the outside. You also lose a good shot blocker if he's on the perimeter.

He would be a center for me.

He wears a size 20 shoes....he already looks heavier than he was in college. He's going to be a big dude. If he plays the 4, he will be injury prone. He moves his feet like they weigh a ton. VS. If you look at Stein's feet, you would think he's a SF.

Not sure about his weight- he has really worked on dumping the fat and putting on the muscle.

Sucks that we have to talk about him from a distance, and not be discussing whether or not Phil will pick him at #1.

Did not know his shoes were that big...must do well with the girls.
