Didn't see anything posted but the combine started up and is running on ESPNU this AM and ESPN2 this afternoon.

Melvin and Deandre checked in and were measured.

Melvin at 6 ft 5 1/4 in (w/o shoes) and 218 lbs. Wingspan measured at 6'11.7"

Deandre at 6ft 2 3/4 in and 199 lbs. 6'8" wingspan

other Notables:
Devyn marble 6' 5" 192 lbs
Doug McD 6' 6 1/4" 218

Measures can be found at:

I hope Adam Woodbury gets invited to the combine some day just for the sheer hilarity of comparing his wingspan to the guards.
 
Ejim's group is on ESPN 2 right now FYI. I think Giannis' brother is in that group also.

I know we love to poke fun at Woodbury but I'd bet he will get a legit shot at the NBA. Still has two years left and although he looks like a goob and can't jump, he has a big body and plays pretty darn hard.

He also knows how to shush the fans.
 
Interesting that Ejim and Kane measured exactly the 6'7" and 6'4" they were billed as, Kane actually 6'4 1/2".

Wonder how common it is for programs to add height to players, seems less common than it used to be.

Not if he only averages 3.9 rebounds and .06 blocks a game like this year, like you said though he has two years. It's not like he has a great jump shot to make up for being a poor rebounder and shot blocker for his size.

Big body? DeAndre Jordan has a big body.

Plays pretty darn hard? The NBA is definitely known for valuing try-hard over actual or even perceived talent.

He'll never make it.
 
I'd get measured in Tims if I had to. Add at least 3 inches to your height.
 
Looks like Marcus Smart and Kane are about the same. Smart is little heavier and longer, but Kane is taller and less body fat %. Can't wait to see them go head to head in the NBA!

Would be great to see that develop into a rivalry, but small chance they both are logging big minutes IMO.

Those two ISU-OSU games this year were amazing, even aside from the fact we won them both. The Smart/Kane matchup was great.

Also, why measure without shoes? They will never play a game without shoes on
