2019 Orlando Magic Draft Preview: Talen Horton-Tucker tests the limits of length

It has become the joke that everyone is in on now.

Fans know it, carefully observing a player’s wingspan measurement before even sitting down to examine how the player even looks on the floor.

They have quickly picked up on the Orlando Magic’s predilection for this physical attribute after seeing the team select Jonathan Isaac, Mohamed Bamba and Melvin Frazier and understanding John Hammond and Jeff Weltman’s draft histories with their previous teams.

Players are in on this joke too. They understand their physical makeup can help paint over a lot of flaws in their game just as it can make their strengths harder to justify.
