Philly.com takes a look at Julius Randle’s draft stock and says it could be affected by his short wingspan.
They go as far as saying he is built like a Tyrannosaurus Rex:
But when you project his game to the NBA, there is one glaring flaw that would make me nervous if I used a top-five pick on him.
Randle is built like a Tyrannosaurus Rex: all torso and no arms.
Randle is built like a Tyrannosaurus Rex: all torso and no arms. He has a 6’11 wingspan, per Draft Express, which is enormous in most contexts, but not the super-sized world of the NBA paint. When matched up against the best power forwards in the world, he’s going to have a significant length disadvantage, a problem that could impact his game on both sides of the ball.

Anyone know any stretching techniques for Julius?
