Young is 3" taller than Brandon Bass with shoes on, fwiw
ETA: Young was an even 6'10" with shoes on at the pre draft camp. I don't get all the undersized references

That's what I'm getting at. Nothing like Brandon bass. At all

His huge shoulders limits his standing reach, given that you don't defend with your head, but with your arms up. Players his height can extend over him without jumping. Granted...he's strong enough to keep anyone around his size from getting where they want.
I think it all balances out.
He also is very agile. Moves his feet well, so he's an optimal defender against any teams we play that run the PnR a lot.

What was somewhat shocking is how small is standing reach is, at just 8-7 1/2, one of smallest ever measured for any NBA big man. The closest physical comparison we could come up with in the NBA is that of Carl Landry, who measured 6-8 1/2 in shoes, 248 pounds, with a 6-11 wingspan and a 8-6 1/2 standing reach.
Also says he has really small hands, which limits his rebounding.
I am probably shortchanging him on his size, though. He just seems to play smaller, which is weird because he's jacked
