Josh Hart's 2016 NBA Draft Combine official measurements

On to the games!

It's day two of the 2016 NBA Draft Combine and the official measurements are in. While not a determing factor in whether a player makes it to the NBA, it's a big deal to a lot of scouts since you can't teach height, length, or any other athletic attribute. But you can teach skills to develop players.

Villanova's Josh Hart has spent plenty of time during his career hearing about how he's an undersized power forward who isn't that athletic, but in reality his best chance in the NBA is at the shooting guard position. He's a plus-defender in most people's eyes who will crash the glass and has the ability to knock down shots. He excels in the open court as well.

Here's how he measured up:

Standing Reach: 8' 3.5"

Wingspan: 6' 8.5"

Height with shoes: 6' 5.5"

Height without shoes: 6'4"

Weight: 203.6 lbs.

Body Fat: 5.75%

Hand Width: 9.25

Hand Length: 8.5

Taking a quick down the list of players who are projected to be drafted, Hart compares well to guys like Malik Beasley, Malcolm Brogdon, but he's lacking in height and in wingspan to say, Malachi Richardson. That's going to be the biggest knock on Hart in a league that values bigger players in the backcourt. So if you're drafting Josh Hart, you're drafting the player, not necessarily the freak prospect (i.e. Skal Labisierre).
