Blair 6’6.5 in shoes.
With a standing reach higher than Blake Griffin.
He reportedly has dropped 40 pounds in one month.
15 pounds in the 3 days before the combine
yeah, impossible is probably right.

Smaller in Which Way?
Jason Maxiell was both shorter and lighter than DeJuan Blair when he got drafted, even though he was 2 years older. Maxiell did have a slightly better standing reach, though, measuring in at 8’11" to Blair’s 8’10.5".

This Can't Be Overstated
With a standing reach higher than Blake Griffin. Those who think DeJuan Blair can’t play the power forward position because he is too short should take note. Blair will be able to play taller than Blake Griffin, assuming he can keep his arms up while on defense.

Really interesting
Crazy, too, that Hansborough has a higher standing reach than Jordan Hill (who I’m slowly warming to). Harden being 6’4 is a bit of a disappointment, though, as is the lack of measurements for Jennings and Rubio.
keep in mind
The height of NBA players is generally recorded based on measurements with shoes on. So Harden would be a legit 6’5"+ player.

Mistake?
The link doesn’t work for me. But the link I found tells a different story. Jordan Hill’s standing reach = 9’0", Tyler Hansbrough’s standing reach = 8’10".

Wow, Earl Clark has a ridiculous wingspan
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Only Slightly Better Than Blair's
But where Earl Clark kills is in standing reach.

I think I meant standing reach instead of wingspan
My fault.
