-Robert Upshaw: The ex-Washington center helped himself in a big way measuring 6'10.75 without shoes with a 7'5.5 wingspan, 9'5 standing reach, and a 258.2 pound frame. Finishing as the 3rd tallest and heaviest prospect in attendance, Upshaw also posted the longest wingspan, highest standing reach, and biggest hands in terms of both length and width of any player measured here. His measurements compare favorably to Nene who measured 6'9.25 without shoes with a 7'4.5 wingspan and 253-pound frame coming out of Brazil in 2002. Upshaw's standing reach is right on par with players like Shaquille O'Neal, Brook Lopez, and DeMarcus Cousins as one of the top-25 in our database all-time. Needless to say, the Fresno State transfer who was dismissed from the program after only 19 games has outstanding size for the center position. Interestingly, Upshaw is actually lighter than he was when he was measured at the Amare Stoudemire Camp in 2011 when he stood 7' in shoes with a 7'4 wingspan and 264-pound frame. Very few teams question Upshaw's talent on the court. It's his history of off-court issues that is scaring many away at the moment. With that said, it is incredibly difficult it is to find player's in Upshaw's mold these days, so it won't be a surprise if someone decides to roll the dice and see if they can get him on the right track.[/url]
[p=Willie Cauley-Stein]-Willie Cauley-Stein: The Kentucky center measured 6'11.25 without shoes with a 7'3 wingspan and a 242 pound frame. His 6.3% body fat is very low for a big man and his standing reach ranks 5th among the players measured here. Cauley-Stein isn't as historically large as Upshaw, but his measurements aren't far off those of Chris Bosh who measured 6'10.25 with a 7'3.5 wingspan and a 225-pound frame coming out of Georgia Tech. Cauley-Stein measured a little longer than he had in the past, and that, combined with his terrific agility, instincts and anticipation skills make it very easy to see him developing into a defensive stopper in the NBA.
Frank Kaminsky: The Wisconsin star measured 6'11.75 without shoes to go along with a middling 6'11 wingspan and a 231-pound frame. Those numbers are similar to those of Cody Zeller (6'10.75, 6'10.75 wingspan, 230 pounds) and better than Kelly Olynyk, who measured 6'10.75 without shoes and a 6'9.75 wingspan. Kaminsky lacks outstanding length and was the only player in attendance to post a wingspan to height ratio below 1.0, but his height ranks prominently among similarly skilled big men in recent memory.
-Kelly Oubre and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson: The pair of highly touted wings measured very similarly here. Oubre is 6'5.75 without shoes with a 7'2.25 wingspan and a 202.8 pound frame while Hollis-Jefferson measured 6'5.5 without shoes with a 7'2 wingspan and a 210.8 pound frame. On top of being the heavier of the two, Hollis-Jefferson had the highest standing reach edging Oubre 8'8 to 8'6.5 in that test. Both players compare favorably to former Maverick and Wake Forest standout Josh Howard who measured 6'5.25 without shoes with a 7'2 wingspan and 202-pound frame coming out of school in 2003. They're both a bit smaller than Kawhi Leonard who measured 6'6 without shoes with a 7'3 wingspan and a 227-pound frame, but Leonard's wingspan mark puts the length both players possess in proper perspective.
-Myles Turner: Texas freshman Myles Turner is in largely the same boat as Cauley-Stein in that he measured extraordinarily well, but not quite as well as Upshaw. Standing 6'11.25 with a 7'4 wingspan and a 238.6-pound frame, he has terrific size for a NBA big man. His 9'4 standing reach ranks second among all players in attendance. Considering his tremendous physical attributes, combined with his ability to shoot the ball with range and block shots, teams in the mid to late lottery will have to think long and hard before passing on Turner.
-George Lucas: The young Brazilian guard largely matched his Nike Hoop Summit measurements. Standing 6'4.5 without shoes with a 7' wingspan, Lucas has outstanding size for a player who spends time at the point guard position. De Paula is pretty much the same size as Marshon Brooks was coming out of Providence, except he plays exclusively at the point and not on the wing like Brooks. Brooks measured 6'4.25 without shoes with a 7'1 wingspan and a 195-pound frame. De Paula has an impressive frame in his own right tipping the scales at 197 pounds with a very low 6.7% body fat ratio, finished 7th in hand width and 2nd in hand length among all players here (largely surrounded by power forwards and centers on the list), and is still only 18. Needless to say, he's one of the most unique physical specimens at the point guard position in this draft, or any draft for that matter. It's safe to say that NBA teams will be watching him very very closely the next few days
I meant to paste in the ones relevant to us but then I ended up just copy pasting the whole article outside of Winslow and Tyus Jones
TP for some nice detective work.
WCS will be gone by the time we pick.
If we can get Turner that would be very nice, (and hope his running limitations turn out to be a false alarm.)
Do you roll the dice on Robert Upshaw?
If when the draft rolls around, and we don't realistically see any interest in the Celtics from the best of the free agent centers available this year, and Turner and Portis are gone...
