wingspan comparison

On another note I asked Olaseni what his wingspan was after the open practice they had and he said 7'3. My prediction is he turns into a big time shot blocker.

Don't dwell on wingspan too much. It helps, but it can also be deceiving. First, you need to look how broad one's shoulders are. There could be 1-2 inch difference in players width of shoulders. then divide that by 2. So ones arms could be 1 or 2" longer than another. Then look at one's vertical jump vs. another's. Basabe has a good vertical...and good timing, which helps his blocking ability.

And long arms
 
I still don't think Woodbury is actually a 7 footer. I have seen people saying he's as much as 7'2 and that's propostorous. (Blue Chips syndrome) I say he's more like 6'10 pushing 6'11.
