Physical Measurements

Marvin Bagley III: 6-11, 235 lbs, 7-1 wingspan, 19 years old

Jaren Jackson Jr.: 6-11, 240 lbs, 7-4 wingspan, 18 years old

Mohamed Bamba: 7-1, 225 lbs, 7-10 winsgpan(!!!), 20 years old

The most impressive in this category has to be Bamba. With such an insane wingspan, he projects as an elite shot blocker and can be a defensive anchor like Rudy Gobert and Clint Capela.

Jackson is no slouch either with decent size and a plus wingspan. His young age could be very helpful with an extra year spent along an NBA trainer and a developmental staff instead of a college campus.

Bagley doesn’t jump off the page as none of his physicals are out of the ordinary but his extreme athleticism is what really separates him from the rest of the pack.
