1. Is there a correlation? Not yet known in this thread.

2. If a correlation is established, correlation is not necessarily causation; see discussion below.

3. We also dont have a consistent proposal: is it absolute arm length? Is it wingspan to height ratio?

There seems to be an ulterior motive to this thread than just shooters and long arms.

It's another critique of Danny's drafting. OP starts off the thread by listing Rondo, Smart, and Rozier. Seems to be more of a rant against our drafting than anything else (in my opinion).

Conspiracy for sure


 Shaq always cracks me up. This is from 2016 and pretty funny to read. Tp Shaq.

I don't buy the theory at all but Desmond Bane with his stubs for arms is standing out in my head as a great shooter.  It looks like he can't reach his hips!

He is an immense shooter, but so is Kevin Durant.
