For some reason, that table got me to thinking about the relationship between height and wingspan, and how Jason Clark would figure on that scale. It also reminded me of a classic HoyaTalk thread: Jason Clark's Wing Span...
So, since I still don't want to do work, I decided to work out how big your wingspan should be compared to your height - at least if you are a potential NBA player, which is the cohort from which the data derives.
So, here it is:
It's that simple - just take your height and add 4.5" and that is your expected wingspan.
Some trivia from the database:
- the player with the greatest wingspan is former Hoya target John Riek
- the player with the best reach for his height is Dallas Lauderdale
- a few of those dots well-below the fitted line are from obscure Europeans, who might have bad measurements
- the player with the worst reach for his height from the reliable measurements is Marshall Plumlee
I should probably go back to work.
