He has the physical measurables to be a 2nd rounder. I liked what I saw late in the season from him.

Second round I get but he’s getting talked about much higher than that

Yeesssh honestly I didn't read any of the articles. But if a team wants to take a chance, it better be a title contender

Pretty surprised by the wingspan. Always seemed to me like he had relatively long arms.

A little more context on this, from all the measurements I’ve seen so far Judah has the second smallest wingspan in the draft and tied for the worst height to wingspan ratio(I may have missed some though was just a couple minute scroll through Twitter). Not sure if it’s weighted as highly for guards, but I know it’s pretty important for the forwards and centers in GMs eyes. He tested relatively well in the other areas from the bits I’ve seen, but there’s not too much concrete info out there for his results. I think the scrimmages and interviews will be much more important for him anyways.

Scrimmages will likely be the key for him.

It's definitely more important for wings/big men, but that wingspan will be held against Judah for sure. It's especially bad if you're both short and have a tiny wingspan; Judah escapes that but a 6'3" wingspan regardless of position is pretty underwhelming. I didn't think he had a crazy wingspan but I thought it would be higher than that. Will likely be viewed as someone that can only defend PGs now, whereas a longer wingspan + the hands he showed defensively this season could have convinced people he'd be at least a little bit switchable.

I mean the thing is, we joke about it, but coming back to school isn't going to help with a measurable like wingspan.
 
Nothing he can do to improve his wingspan. Staying in school or leaving for the NBA won’t change it unless he proves or improves enough in some other areas to minimize and compromise the importance NBA teams could even put on it.
