Im officially off the gobert wagon. His team in france didn't start him and he apparently can't put the ball on the ground or do anything in the post aside from catching lobs.

sounds like a taller d12 huh! you do understand that all euro players pretty much have to run, dribble & shoot to stand out right? american big men are garbage to euros. including shaq and d12 in their prime. they dont use these type players. thats why the biggest players end up in the nba instead on getting big money to stay there. rudy will be fine in the nba.

This kid gobert is a huge project

This draft totally lacks sure things.

Cliff notes?

He's measurements are very similar to Javale Mcgee's.

If Gobert puts up a good showing tomorrow he'll be top 10.
A level headed Mcgee would be something to see

sorry if someone already posted these. from the rivals board via the Orlando Magic board:

Nerlens Noel measurements: 6'10" in socks and 6'11.5" in shoes. 7' 3.75" wingspan and a very good 9-2 standing reach.

KU's Ben McLemore was just 6'3.5" in socks and 6'4.75" in shoes. He does, however have a 6'7.75" wingspan.

Trey Burke. 5'11.75" in socks. 6'1.25" shoes. 6'5.5" wingspan. Good measurement for him.

Victor Oladipo was even smaller at 6'3.25" in socks and 6'4.25" in shoes. His wingspan was a very long 6'9.25" however.

Otto Porter was big with a 6'7.5" in socks and 6' 8.5" in shoes measurement . He has a very big 7'1.5" wing.

CJ McCollum 6'2.25" in socks. 6'3.25" shoes. 6'6.25" wing

Shabazz Muhammad was much smaller Measuring 6'4.75" in socks and 6'6.25" in shoes He does have a 6'11" wingspan.

Cody Zeller 6'10.75" in socks and 7'0.25" in shoes. His 6-10.75 wing and 8'10" standing reach is on the small side however.

Rudy Gobert 7'0.5" in socks and 7'2" in shoes with a crazy 7'8.5" wingspan and insane 9'7" standing reach.

Steven Adams. 6'10.75" socks. 7'0" shoes. 7'4.5" wing 9'1.5" standing reach.

Thanks I was looking for these. Ill put them in the op

Eta: why did mclemore say he was 6'3" barefoot today, when he measured 6'3.5"?

d12 gained 25-30 pnds since o4' and could't even avg 15+ in his rookie year. his #'s were 12/10/1. orlando obviously saw potential. and he's only 6-10. you don't think rudy can do the same? if he gains good weight, he'll get have potential to be a good one. if he only picks up a few pnds, chandler at best. but hey, a key title piece, def poy and all-def team aint bad either.

Howard was never anywhere near as skinny Noel even in high school.

Lol he's talking about gobert.

you're right.

Keep in mind that Gobert is about to turn 21 in a month. He still has a lot of work to do to get weight to the level of McGee.

Noels frame doesn't scare you? 206lbs? To be banging down low?

Size down low is overrated these days anyway. The game has been going in another direction in the post as far as banging with 250+ lb guys anyway.

I think he could probably put 20-30 pounds on in a few years anyway.

And he's been in a cast, he probably has lost a good bit of muscle weight in the past few months just sitting around.
