CHICAGO -- Every year, one of the most interesting aspects of the NBA draft combine is the list detailing the official height and weight of each player, along with wingspan, standing reach and more.
Here's a look at how the players measured up, and what it means for their draft stock.
(Note: You can find all of the measurements below. Also, several top players in the draft -- including Ben Simmons, Brandon Ingram, Jamal Murray and Dragan Bender -- did not participate in the combine at all.)
Noteworthy wingspans, reaches and more
The NBA spends more time scrutinizing things like wingspan and standing reach than they do actual heights. How big a player is with his hands above his head (for big men) and with his arms outstretched (for guards) means much more on the basketball floor than a static height.
Simmons, Ingram and Murray were all measured by Team USA last year as part of the Nike Hoop Summit, so we do have some numbers for comparison from a year ago.
Simmons measured 6-foot-10 in shoes, 240 pounds, with a 6-foot-11 wingspan and an 8-foot-7 standing reach.
Ingram measured 6-foot-10 in shoes, 196 pounds with a 7-foot-3 wingspan and a 9-foot-2 standing reach.
Murray measured 6-foot-5 in shoes, 207 pounds with a 6-foot-7 wingspan and an 8-foot-3 standing reach.
So, had they been here, all of them would've measured well for their positions. However, there are concerns with each. Simmons has a fairly pedestrian wingspan and standing reach. Ditto for Murray. Ingram is obviously still very thin.
Now let's look at the players the NBA measured on Tuesday.
For starters, Providence's Kris Dunn, the highest-ranked player here: he's 6-foot-3 in socks and 6-foot-4.25 in shoes. He has a huge 6-foot-9.5 wingspan and a 8-foot-4 standing reach. Those are very good numbers for a point guard.
Buddy Hield measured a solid 6-foot-5 in shoes (6-foot-3.75 in socks) with a terrific 6-foot-9.25 wingspan. Those are essentially Dwyane Wade's measurements.
Virtually every other top prospect shined in the measurements.
Labissiere was the tallest at 6-foot-10.5 in socks and 6-foot-11.75 in shoes. Ellenson was just a little shorter at 6-foot-10 in socks and 6-foot-11.5 in shoes. Chriss was 6-foot-8.75 in socks and 6-foot-10 in shoes.
Ellenson had the biggest wingspan and standing reach, however, measuring 7-foot-2.25 for wingspan and 9-foot for standing reach. Labissiere also had a 7-foot-2.25 wingspan but a shorter 8-foot-9.5 standing reach. Chriss had a 7-foot-0.25 wingspan and a 8-foot-9 standing reach. Those are all terrific numbers for power forwards.
Check Diallo, Nigel Hayes, Damian Jones, Marcus Lee, Thon Maker, Caleb Swanigan and Zhou Qi all recorded terrific wingspans of 7-foot-3 or wider. Qi had a ridiculous 7-foot-7.75 wingspan
What is really interesting is the "Plus 6" group. This group of players have a wingspan at least six inches longer than their height in socks. Some NBA teams feel that players with this ideal combination of size to wingspan ratio are especially effective at the NBA level. Who made the cut this year?
Tyler Ulis and Kay Felder were the only players in the camp to measure shorter than than 6 feet tall.
Few players disappointed with their conditioning this year. Kyle Wiltjer had the highest body fat percentage at 15 percent. That's not very good, but not terrible for a big man either. Robert Carter, Henry Ellenson, Nigel Hayes, Dedric Lawson, Georges Niang, Diamond Stone, and Caleb Swanigan all posted measurements of greater than 10 percent.
