so for the heck of it i googled Romeo s wingspan
its 6 '11" ....same as Tatum !
That lenght is useful
Just so you know: that wingspan measurement for Tatum is from his junior year of high school. He hasn't done one since.
Why and how does something like that happen???!!
And how do you know?
It happened at a Nike hoop summit. Pretty common with potential NBA players. There is no record of a wingspan measurement at anything his senior year of high school, freshman year at duke, or at the draft combine.
Looking at him, I'm pretty confident his wingspan in more like 7'3''
Ya I doubt Tatum's wingspan has changed that much since the measurement, wingspan typically correlates with height so unless you believe he's grown 3-4 inches taller since that measurement its extremely unlikely he's added 4 inches to his wingspan although he does look longer than 6'11 for sure.
As for Langford hopefully this quiets some of the "This guy is a bust" talk that was going around. One of my pet peeves is when people make a declaration about a prospect based off half a season of observation, especially when a significant part of what was holding him was injury issue that prevented him from really jelling with the team early in the season. Its especially problematic when you consider how good this Celtics team is, I'm fairly certain Romeo would be getting regular minutes on the Hawks, Cavs, ect. Its just harder when the team is a 50 win team.
Based off the fact he seems to have some defensive potential and some skill in getting t the rim I'd say he has solid starter upside especially if he can shoot even like 35% from three. Gives a potential Hayward replacement long term, and scoring sixth man if he stays. He's only twenty years old.
Ringer draft guide has a good scouting report (hes at 15) if people wnat to get a read on what the word was on him coming out of the draft.
