Lin doesn't seem to fit into that description... he looks well proportioned and long... |
For an average person sure...but check out his proportions compared to Clarkson. Both around the same height but Clarky has way longer legs, a shorter torso, and way longer arms. |
Lin is 6'3 and Clarkson is 6'5. Those two inches make huge difference. |

.25" difference |
One thing about draftexpress if that their wingspan measurements always vary by up to a few inches. Not sure how they measure it but Lin and Clarkson have the same standing reach although Clarkson is a bit taller and longer wingspan.
Just thought that was odd. |
Standing reach also depends on neck height and how your shoulder slopes. If Lin's torso is higher (and thus his neck shorter) and his shoulders lay flatter that would make his standing reach equal to Clarky's. |
Lin has a long neck and head though while Clarkson's is very short.
Nothing makes sense anymore!!!! |
The important question is... Who has bigger toes? Because bigger toes means more traction on the ground, hence, being faster and more effective. |
You guys really found some fun.

Disappointed in Beef. He needs to grow that beard out and assume the Harden-lite role he was always meant to have. |

I agreed with Don Draper. I knew this 2 yrs ago but couldn't explain it by my mediocre English. |

The starting lineup should be:
Lin(PG)+Clarkson+Wes+ED+Boozer
If they go smaller, they can replace ED with Ellington/Kelly. |

Yeah this crap is stupid anyways I'm truly sorry I brought it all up. Maybe Clarky's shoulders slope a lot? Mine do that and my standing reach suffers horribly for it  |
No, no... not stupid because now...

That's true. But Clarkson seems long enough for an NBA player. He also has an extremely small head which makes him look even longer. |
Every time I watch games, I'm gonna be giggling at an exaggerated image of chimpanzee arms and a tiny head chucking up shots.... |

You are right. See stats of this game below:
4 bench players scored 49 pts (20 of 39, 51.3%), 19 rbs, 15 assists in 101 mins, and +/- number = +15.
vs
5 Starters scored 54 pts (19 of 47, 40.4%), 22 rbs, 9 assists in 139 mins, and +/- number = -20. |

It's so obvious for tanking since Kelly and Scare are starters.
