Size matters

The NBA released the measurements for Chicago predraft participants Thursday. As happens every year, everyone came up a little short.

In fact, most of the prospects measure a half to three-quarters of an inch shorter than they did at the Portsmouth camp. Apparently, tape measure use is no longer a exact science.

• Cincinnati's Jason Maxiell measued just 6-foot-5 without shoes. However his 7-3¼ wingspan makes up for a lot.

• Florida's David Lee measured just 6-7¾ without shoes, nearly an inch shorter than the Nuggets measured him.

• George Washington's Pops Mensah-Bonsu measured just 6-7¼ without shoes.

• Memphis' Sean Banks was 6-5¾.

• Oakland's Rawle Marshall came in at just 6-4½ in socks.

• Chicago State's Deji Akindele was only 6-9½, well below the 7-1 measurement he had in college.

• Gonzaga's Ronny Turiaf measured 6-8 in socks.

• UTEP's Omar Thomas had the most shocking measurement. He played power forward this year but measured just 6-3¼.

A few guys made up for short measurements with long wingspans.

• Maryland's John Gilchrist measured just 6-1¼ in socks but had a 6-9¼ wingspan.

• Brandon Rush had a 6-11¼ wingspan.

• Charlotte's Eddie Basden's span was 6-10¼.

• Deng Gai had a 7-4½ span.

• Banks had a 7-1 wingspan.

• Marcus Campbell had a 7-6 wingspan. So did D'or Fisher.
