#ALLEN IVERSON WINGSPAN PLUS#

Plus, the worst defender on the list)ĭwyane Wade: 6-4, 6-10.75 (Yeah, his arms are ridiculous) Stephen Curry: 6-3, 6-3.5 (first guy with short arms. Rajon Rondo: 6-1, 6-9 ( Sports Science at least said so) Tony Parker: 6-2, 6-4 wingspan (ridiculously fast, quick as well, helps) But, will show you what is up with approximations or recording of everyone on that list’s height and wingspan:

Plus I think it really helps out for the post positions. The others seem pretty normal to me and any advantages they might have come from their height, strength, athleticism or skill.įor instance, would Kevin Durant be less unbelievable if his arms were 2 inches shorter? Would Anthony Davis still be a great player if he didn’t have those Condor arms? I’m inclined to say slightly less advantaged, but not overly so.

In how many cases are these players considerably improved by longer than average wingspan in relation to their height? Without checking the figures, I’d guess probably Davis, Durant and Rondo. PF – Nowitzki, Randolph, Aldridge, Griffin, Love, DavisĬ – Gasol, Bogut, Chandler, Howard, Hibbert SF – James, Durant, George, Deng, Carmello SG – Wade, Harden, Allen, Bryant, Stephenson, Beal PG – Parker, Westbrook, Paul, Rondo, Wall, Curry In how many cases does 'wingspan' improve thier game as opposed to other size and athletcisim attributes (eg height, strength etc.) Lets look at a sample of top players at each position. I can’t understand why wingspan is such a valued attribute in evaluating prospects these days. I understand height, strength and athleticism, but wingspan seems like only a mild contributor to a players future success.
