2026 Pre Draft Measurements

[Who]

The 3 young PFs

BYU's AJ Dybantsa measured 6'8.5 barefoot and 217 pounds at the NBA Draft Combine, with a 7'0.25 wingspan and 8'10 standing reach.

Duke's Cam Boozer measured 6'8.25 barefoot and 253 pounds at the NBA Draft Combine, with a 7'1.5 wingspan and 9'0 standing reach.

UNC's Caleb Wilson measured 6'9.25 barefoot and 211 pounds at the NBA Draft Combine, with a 7'0.25 wingspan and 9'0 standing reach.

Darryn Peterson

Kansas' Darryn Peterson measured 6'4.5 barefoot and 199 pounds at the NBA Draft Combine, with a 6'9.75 wingspan and 8'7 standing reach.

Good measurables for D Peterson for a SG.

The top 10 crop of PGs

Illinois' Keaton Wagler measured 6'5 barefoot and 188 pounds at the NBA Draft Combine, with a 6'6.25 wingspan and 8'4 standing reach.

Arkansas' Darius Acuff measured 6'2 barefoot and 186 pounds at the NBA Draft Combine, with a 6'7 wingspan and 8'2.5 standing reach.

Houston's Kingston Flemings measured 6'2.5 barefoot and 183 pounds at the NBA Draft Combine, with a 6'3.5 wingspan and 8'2.5 standing reach

Louisville?s Mikel Brown measured 6?3.5 barefoot and 190 pounds at the NBA Draft Combine, with a 6?7.5 wingspan and 8?9.5 standing reach.

Arizona's Brayden Burries measured 6'3.75 barefoot and 215 pounds at the NBA Draft Combine, with a 6'6 wingspan and 8'2.5 standing reach.

Labaron Philon 6 foot 2.5 inches barefoot 6 foot 6.25 inches wingspan 8 foot 3.5 inches standing reach.

I find many of those measurables disappointing. They were being billed as bigger 6-4 / 6-5 guards. Wagler has size but short arms and not much of a standing reach. Most of them are around 8 foot 2 inches standing reach with is average for a PG. Flemings the same size as Acuff. Mikel Brown the only one with a big advantage in terms of standing reach.

Its been interesting to follow the measurements as they are reported.

Over all the guards have not faired great. Wagler/Fleming shorter wingspan than expected, Philon only gained 1 pound, Burries shorter arms than one would hope.

However the bigs are having a great day! Morez is bigger than Bam at 6'9 250 with 7'3.5" WS, Mara is giant, Hannes is true center sized. Taris Reed just under 6'10 and 260+ with great length.

Boozer ain?t playing Center at 6?8.

Boozer ain?t playing Center at 6?8.

Same measurements as AL, by no means a full time center but going small with him at the 5 is a wrinkle his team will be able to utilize.

Yeah, looks like a David Lee situation. Start Cam Boozer at PF and then use him as a small ball C in offensive lineups where desired.

I miss the early part of the season when Aday Mara was mocked in the late 20s.  I knew it would not last, but a 9-9 standing reach might actually beat Wemby.  Not as skilled as Wemby, of course, but he is no slouch and can make some really nice passes.
