Williams is 6'7.5 with shoes on no? I mean that's small for a PF but it isn't 6'5 levels of bad lol.
With nearly a 7-foot wingspan.
I love Williams but that wingspan stat is way wrong...

Although the consensus seemed to be that Grant Williams didn’t perform well during scrimmages, the two-time SEC Player of the Year did better than expected with his measureables and testing (though he still didn’t stack up all that great compared to others at his position).
Williams had the best bench press of all the participants at the NBA Draft Combine. It’s worth noting that not all of the players invited participated in all the tests (such as Zion Williamson, Bol Bol, and others), bur Williams’ 20 reps on the bench press were still highly impressive. Williams’ hand width was one of the longest among all the forwards at the combine, and he had the sixth-best time in the lane agility testing among all forwards.
As for the downsides, there were several. Williams’ wingspan wasn’t impressive, nor were his measurements in both vertical leaps. His shuttle run and three quarters run times were both on the slower side, too.
Overall, it appeared by most people’s analysis who were at the combine that Williams might’ve slipped down draft boards ever so slightly, but he’s still likely a first-round pick, though there’s still some argument there. His supposed slippage makes his decision to remain in the draft a little more perplexing, but it’s also worth noting that he probably couldn’t improve on many (if any) of his deficiencies with another year of college.
