The NBA Draft Combine measurements always add an important layer to prospect evaluation. While tape remains the foundation, verified height, wingspan, weight, and standing reach can confirm positional size, strengthen a player’s role projection, or raise new questions. This year’s numbers produced several clear standouts, particularly among bigs with elite length and guards who measured bigger than expected, while a few prospects saw some concerns reinforced by the official measurements.

Measurement Winners
Aday Mara, Michigan, Jr.
Mara (pictured) was one of the biggest winners of the measurement portion, confirming truly rare center size. At 7’3 barefoot with a 7’6 wingspan and massive 9’9 standing reach, he owns elite dimensions even by NBA center standards. His standing reach is reportedly second only to Tacko Fall all-time at the NBA Draft Combine, placing him in historically rare territory physically. That kind of reach gives him a major margin for error as a rim protector, finisher, and interior presence. For a player whose intrigue is tied to size, passing, and coordination, these numbers reinforce the idea that Mara has a physical profile worthy of the hype.
Morez Johnson, Michigan, Soph.
Johnson measured very well, coming in at 6’9 barefoot with a 7’3.5 wingspan and 8’11 standing reach. At roughly 6’10 in shoes, he also appears to have clearly grown a couple inches since arriving in college, an encouraging development for his long-term frontcourt projection. Those are strong frontcourt numbers and give him legitimate power forward/center versatility. With his size, strength, and length, he also projects as someone capable of playing center in certain lineups. His measurements help explain his rebounding, activity, and ability to play bigger than his listed height. For a player whose appeal is built around energy, toughness, and interior production, the measurements strongly support his NBA translation.
Caleb Wilson, North Carolina, Fr.
Wilson also emerged as a clear winner from the measurement portion. He measured 6’9.25 barefoot, making him effectively 6’10 in shoes, with a 7’0.25 wingspan and very encouraging 9’0 standing reach. The standing reach in particular was one of the more important numbers for his projection, reinforcing his ability to function as a versatile modern forward capable of impacting plays around the rim. His fluidity, athleticism, and length remain highly intriguing for a player with perimeter skill and defensive versatility. The biggest concern physically remains his frame, as he weighed just 210 pounds and will clearly need to add significant strength, likely another 20–25 pounds over time, to fully maximize his potential against NBA frontcourt physicality.
Darius Acuff Jr., Arkansas, Fr.
Acuff helped himself with his measurements, particularly his length and standing reach. He measured 6’2 barefoot with a strong 6’6.5 wingspan and impressive 8’2.5 standing reach. That standing reach is notably in the same range as much taller guards like Keaton Wagler, Illinois, Fr. (8’4 standing reach) and Kingston Flemings, Houston, Fr. (8’2.5 standing reach), underscoring how long and well-proportioned Acuff is physically despite not having elite height. For a lead guard, those are excellent numbers and give him added defensive and finishing upside. The plus length and reach help offset his height and give him much stronger positional tools than a typical smaller guard. Combined with his strength, speed, and scoring ability, the measurements made his physical profile look far more NBA-ready.
Mikel Brown Jr., Louisville, Fr.
Brown was another guard winner, measuring with effective two-guard size at around 6’5 in shoes and an 8’4 standing reach. Those numbers are very strong for a skilled guard and help him project beyond being just a smaller lead guard. His size gives him lineup flexibility, better defensive projection, and more room to operate as a scorer and playmaker against NBA length.
Labaron Philon, Alabama, Soph.
Philon also emerged as a clear measurement winner. At roughly 6’4 in shoes with an outstanding 8’3.5 standing reach, the measurements confirmed elite size for a point guard and even legitimate shooting guard dimensions physically. His combination of size, length, pace, and skill gives him intriguing versatility in the backcourt. The measurements reinforced why NBA teams view him as one of the more appealing guard prospects in the class, and he clearly has the physical profile and upside to land somewhere in the late lottery.
Bennett Stirtz, Iowa, Sr.
Stirtz also emerged as a measurement winner after posting very solid numbers across the board for a lead guard. He measured 6’2.5 barefoot, effectively 6’4 in shoes, with a 6’6 wingspan and 8’2 standing reach, all strong marks for a primary ball handler. His size and length help strengthen his projection as a bigger guard capable of defending either backcourt position. Perhaps most impressive was his 211-pound frame, giving him excellent strength and physicality for the position. Combined with his feel, toughness, and productivity, the measurements reinforced the idea that Stirtz has the physical profile to translate well to the NBA game.
Tounde Yessoufou, Baylor, Fr.
Yessoufou also emerged as a major measurement winner. He possesses legitimate small forward size at roughly 6’5 in shoes while also posting elite length numbers with a 6’10 wingspan and outstanding 8’7 standing reach. While the 6’5 height is somewhat of a drawback for a traditional NBA small forward, the exceptional length and reach help make up for it and significantly strengthen his wing projection. His combination of power, explosiveness, and length gives him intriguing long-term upside as a physically imposing two-way wing.
Jayden Quaintance, Kentucky, Soph.
Quaintance firmly established himself among the elite length prospects in the class. Despite measuring just 6’8.25 barefoot, his massive wingspan and standing reach gave him clear NBA center dimensions physically. His 7’4.5 wingspan and 9’1 standing reach are elite numbers and help explain why he projects as such a disruptive defender and rim protector despite not possessing traditional center height. The measurements reinforced that his combination of mobility, explosiveness, and length gives him the physical tools to anchor the paint and defend both frontcourt positions at a high level.
Brayden Burries, Arizona, Fr.
Burries measured 6’3.75 barefoot, which puts him around 6’5 in shoes, with an 8’2.5 standing reach. That is strong size for a guard, especially one with lead guard ability. His frame and positional size help his case as a versatile backcourt prospect who can defend, handle physicality, and play either guard spot. The measurements reinforce his appeal as a bigger guard with NBA tools.
Cameron Carr, Baylor, Jr.
Carr was one of the bigger perimeter measurement winners of the combine. He measured 6’4.5 barefoot with an outstanding 7-foot wingspan and 8’8 standing reach, elite numbers for a guard/wing prospect. His length and reach give him significant defensive versatility and help explain his upside as a switchable perimeter defender. The one notable concern remains his weight at just 184.4 pounds, as he still has a thin frame physically. Still, Carr helped himself both in the measurements and on the court after exploding for a 30-point performance during combine scrimmages, boosting his overall stock in a major way.
Hannes Steinbach, Washington, Fr.
Steinbach emerged as another clear measurement winner. He measured 6’9.25 barefoot with a 7’2.5 wingspan and 9’0 standing reach, giving him excellent dimensions for a skilled frontcourt player. His combination of size, reach, mobility, and physicality supports his ability to play both post positions at the next level. The measurements reinforced the appeal of his versatile game and high-level feel, particularly as a modern big capable of impacting the game in multiple ways offensively and defensively. Already viewed as one of the fastest-rising international prospects in the class, Steinbach continues to trend upward and has a legitimate chance to crack the top 10 with a strong pre-draft process and workouts.
Yaxel Lendeborg, Michigan, Sr.
Lendeborg was already known to possess an excellent physical profile, but the official measurements only reinforced how impressive his tools are for such a versatile player. He is 6’10 in shoes with a 7’3.25 wingspan and 9’0.5 standing reach, elite dimensions for a player capable of playing multiple positions. His combination of size, length, mobility, and skill gives him tremendous versatility on both ends of the floor. The measurements further support his ability to function as a forward, small-ball center, or even a jumbo playmaker in certain lineups.
Baba Miller, Florida Atlantic, Sr.
Miller also helped himself significantly during combine week. He measured 6’10.5 barefoot with a 7’1.75 wingspan and strong 9’3 standing reach, excellent numbers for a versatile forward with perimeter skill. His combination of size, mobility, and length continues to stand out for a player capable of handling the ball and making plays offensively. Beyond the measurements, Miller also performed well during the scrimmages, helping his overall stock by showing his skill level, feel, and versatility against strong competition.
Rueben Chinyelu Jr., Florida, Soph.
Chinyelu posted elite center measurements, including a 7’7.5 wingspan and 9’3.5 standing reach. Those are high-level rim protection tools and among the most impressive length numbers in the group. His reach gives him real defensive upside around the basket and makes him a clear physical standout. For teams looking for size, length, and interior presence, Chinyelu checked major boxes.
Tarris Reed Sr., UConn, Sr.
Reed confirmed legitimate NBA center size, measuring 6’9.75 barefoot with a 7’4.25 wingspan and 9’2 standing reach. Those numbers are strong for a physical interior big and give him the tools to hold up as a true center. His length and reach should help him finish, rebound, and defend the paint at the next level. The measurements back up his projection as a strong, physical big with real positional size.
Luigi Suigo, Italy
Suigo measured as one of the biggest players in the class, coming in at 7’2.75 barefoot, roughly 7’4 in shoes, with a 7’5.5 wingspan and 9’6 standing reach. That is a massive frame, especially for a player who also shows decent mobility and shooting touch. His physical profile alone gives him intrigue, and his combination of size, length, and skill makes him one of the more interesting long-term big men from the measurement group.
Henri Veesaar, North Carolina, Jr.
Veesaar also measured well, confirming solid NBA center size. At 6’11.25 barefoot with a 7’2 wingspan and 9’3 standing reach, he has the dimensions to play the five at the next level. His reach is particularly encouraging, giving him the ability to contest, rebound, and finish inside. For a skilled big, these numbers help solidify his positional projection.
Measurement Losers
Cameron Boozer, Duke, Fr.
Boozer’s measurements were not poor, but they were slightly underwhelming compared to perception. He measured 6’8.25 barefoot, making him closer to 6’9 in shoes after often appearing taller on the court. His 7’1.5 wingspan and 9’0 standing reach are still very good, but the height number may slightly temper expectations for him as a full-time NBA center. He remains a strong prospect, but the measurements frame him more clearly as a power forward or small-ball five rather than an oversized frontcourt mismatch.
Braden Smith, Purdue, Sr.
Smith’s measurements amplified existing size concerns. At 5’10.25 barefoot, he likely comes in under 6 feet in shoes, and his 6’3.25 wingspan is smaller than some previously reported numbers around 6’5. For a smaller guard, every inch matters, especially defensively and as a finisher against NBA length. His skill, toughness, and feel remain major strengths, but the measurements make his physical projection more challenging.
Tyler Tanner, Vanderbilt, Soph.
Tanner’s measurements slightly hurt his overall projection despite his explosiveness and strong on-court production. He measured 5’10.75 barefoot, making him roughly 6’0 in shoes, which is smaller than ideal for an NBA lead guard. While his wingspan was solid , 6’4.25″, it was not enough to fully offset his very small standing reach (7’9), which exposes the physical limitations teams already had concerns about. Tanner remains an explosive athlete with real scoring and playmaking ability and still has a chance to work his way into the late first round, but the measurements hurt his cause.
Nick Boyd, Wisconsin, Sr.
Boyd’s measurements were among the more concerning for a shooting guard projection. He came in at just 6’1 barefoot with a 6’2.5 wingspan and 8’0 standing reach, well below typical NBA size standards for an off-ball guard. Unlike undersized guards who compensate with elite length, Boyd measured with only a slight positive wingspan, limiting his defensive versatility and ability to play bigger than his height. The numbers reinforce concerns about how he matches up physically against NBA-sized shooting guards and wings, putting more pressure on his skill level, shooting, and toughness to overcome the size limitations.
Keaton Wagler, Illinois, Fr.
Wagler still measured with solid size overall for a combo guard at 6’5 barefoot with a very solid 8’4 standing reach, but his wingspan came in closer to neutral than expected at 6’6.25. While not disastrous, it was somewhat underwhelming relative to his height and frame, especially for a player whose projection benefits from positional versatility and defensive upside. The standing reach remains impressive for a combo guard and helps his profile, but the lack of plus length compared to other bigger guards slightly capped what could have been a major measurement win. There had also been a false report circulating that Wagler possessed a 7-foot wingspan, which was clearly dispelled by the official combine measurements as he fell well short of that mark.
Kingston Flemings, Houston, Fr.
Flemings still measured with very solid overall size for a point guard, particularly with his 6’2.5 barefoot height and strong 8’2.5 standing reach. However, his length numbers were somewhat disappointing relative to expectations, as his wingspan measured just 6’3.5, only about a plus-one differential from his height. While his overall size remains good for a lead guard prospect, the lack of standout length slightly hurt what many expected would be a more impressive measurement profile.
