If the Phoenix Suns initial pre-draft workouts are any indication, their selections in the June NBA Draft may have a common denominator: length.
A player’s length, or wingspan, is always a strong consideration for all 30 NBA teams. A player’s wingspan “must” be longer than his height or he’s considered “alligator armed” and his stock automatically drops in scouts’ eyes. Positionally, scouts look for point guards to have at least 6-7” wingspan, shooting guards at least 6-10” and all front court players would ideally all be 7-0”. If you can field that kind of length, your team is more likely to be good defensively.
