The NBA Draft Combine started yesterday, which means we got some important information regarding various prospects athletic measurements.\u00a0 Here\u2019s how some of the prospects in the projected range the Kings will be picking stood out:<\/p>\n

Keaton Wagler \u2013 6\u20195 barefoot, 6\u20197.75 wingspan, 8\u20194 standing reach
\nKingston Flemings \u2013 6\u20192.5 barefoot, 6\u20193.5 wingspan, 8\u20192.5 standing reach
\nDarius Acuff Jr. \u2013 6\u20192 barefoot, 6\u20197 wingspan, 8\u20192.5 standing reach
\nMikel Brown Jr. \u2013 6\u20193.5 barefoot, 6\u20197.5 wingspan, 8\u20194.5 standing reach
\nNate Ament \u2013 6\u20199.5 barefoot, 6\u201911.5 wingspan, 9\u20191.5 standing reach
\nBrayden Burries \u2013 6\u20193.75 barefoot, 6\u20196 wingspan, 8\u20192.5 standing reach
\nLabaron Philon \u2013 6\u20192.5 barefoot, 6\u20196.25 wingspan, 8\u20193.5 standing reach\\<\/p>\n

Kingston Flemings measurements in particular stood out, as he had by far the shortest wingspan of any of the guards, which could be considered a big detriment at the next level and cause his stock to drop. While Flemings is considered one of the best two-way guards in the draft and was known for his defensive intensity in college, his lack of reach isn\u2019t going to help at the next level on either end of the floor and bigger and longer competition.\u00a0 Keaton Wagler also didn\u2019t jump off the page with his wingspan to height ratio, and it makes sense that both Flemings and Wagler dealt with struggles finishing at the rim as a result.\u00a0 Wagler notably didn\u2019t have a single dunk in his entire college season. The other guards all measured reasonably well, including Acuff and particularly Mikel Brown Jr.\u00a0 Nate Ament also has great measurables for a wing, but he will need to fill out as he\u2019s only 210 pounds.<\/p>\n

Some other standouts from the combine measurements include Michigan\u2019s Aday Mara, who measured 7\u20193 barefoot and has a standing reach of 9\u20199, tying Mark Williams for the highest standing reach ever recorded (Victor Wembanyama notably did not attend the draft combine).\u00a0 Houston\u2019s Chric Cenac measured at 6\u201910.25 with a 7\u20195 wingspan and 9\u20190.5 standing reach, great for a big man, and Baylor\u2019s Cameron Carr measured 6\u20194.5 with a 7\u20190.75 wingspan and 8\u20198 standing reach.<\/p>\n

The full results for the measurements will eventually be posted here<\/a>, and more results for other tests like speed and shooting drills will be added as the combine continues, although not every prospect will participate.\u00a0 Athletic measurements are just one part of evaluation, but outlier results one way or the other can definitely affect draft stock. Still we\u2019ve seen time and time again that sometimes players don\u2019t make the full use of their athletic gifts, while others make the most of it.\u00a0 Only time will tell, and it will be up to Scott Perry and the Kings front office to parse the data and film and decide for themselves who they think will help the Kings the most.\u00a0 For all our sakes, hopefully they get it right.<\/p>\n
