The wingspans of Kansas basketball players Udoka Azubuike and Svi Mykhailiuk had NBA Draft analysts buzzing — for different reasons — Thursday at the NBA Draft Combine.
Azubuike — who stood tall at 7 feet, 0 and 1/4 inches wearing shoes and 6-10 without shoes — stretched to an impressive 7-foot-7, fourth-longest wingspan in NBA combine history. Texas’ Mo Bamba extended to 7-10 Thursday for the longest wingspan in combine history.
Meanwhile, Mykhailiuk, who measured 6-7, 3/4 with shoes and 6-6 1/2 without shoes, registered a 6-4 3/4 wingspan. That’s a negative-3 wingspan, which according to NBA writer Chris Stone, is the second worst gap in combine annals.
