Most interesting Measurement:

Obviously, people are going to fall in love with Tacko Falls’ measurements, I mean he can dunk with less energy and exertion than it takes me to reach the last coffee mug in the back corner of the top row in my cabinet, and I am 6’3.

But to me, the most interesting Measurement is Talen Tucker Horton. The Iowa State product was a freak for the Cyclones this season and measured out as such in Chicago.

Tucker Horton was measured at 6’2.5 without shoes, 6’4.25 with shoes. However, his impressive attributes come in his length. The 18 year old was measured with a 7’1.25 Wingspan, the top measurement from any Guard at the Combine, to go along with his 8’7 standing reach tied with three other (Romeo Langford, Cameron Johnson, Kevin Porter Jr.) Guards for second in the position behind only Keldon Johnson who logged an 8’8 standing reach.

Talen Tucker Horton’s numbers were off the charts, and a team would absolutely take a flyer on him due to his length, and college production, but it is no sure thing that Horton stays in the draft. After all, OKC Thunder rookie Hamidou Diallo returned to school after his freakish combine.
