He has a 7'2" wingspan, and a 8'11" standing reach, while weighing 280

ANthony Davis wingspan is 7'5", and has a 9' standing reach, only 1" above the shortest guy ever Dejaun blair.
Blair is probably more capable of guarding centers than Davis is b/c of his weight, lower center of gravity, and long reach which makes him play a lot taller than he actually is.

THere's more to a guys "basketball" height than just his height.

He does have good rebounding and acceptable foul rate numbers, but he's no rim protector. As a 1 year stop gap if we can't find anyone else, sure. But the fact that the king of making role players shine was stuck trying to dump him for nearly 2 seasons says he isn't a long term answer.

Those numbers don't add up. I'm not saying you're wrong, but my head is hurting trying to make sense of that.

All that shite doesn't matter. Dudes not 280 to start with, and his knees are bone on bone and he cannot jump. hes a average defender and a decent rebounder. our money can be spent better elsewhere.
