Re: Tyler Zeller: CHOCOLATE SNOW !!!
It's tough to defend centers when you have a 8'8.5" standing reach, which according to DX is the worst measurement ever by a center drafted in the first round. It doesn't help that at 7' tall, he doesn't have a low center of gravity either.
For fun, here are some players with a higher standing reach than Tyler:
Tristan Thompson, 9'0.5"
Omri Casspi, 8'10.5"
Luke Harangody, 8'10"
Shaun Livingston, 8'9.5"
Kevin Jones, 8'9"
And an honorable mention:
Luke Walton, 8'8"
