From the Nike Skills Academy: www.draftexpress.com/article/2014-Nike-Skills-Academy-Measurements-Results-and-Analysis-4633/
Wichita State point guard Fred VanVleet measured 6'0 in shoes with a 6'1.5 wingspan, making him a bit small for a point guard at the NBA level. The only NBA point guards with sub-6'2 wingspans in our database are Isaiah Thomas, T.J. Ford, Ty Lawson, Nate Robinson, Jose Juan Barea, Brian Roberts, John Lucas, Travis Diener, Ray McCallum, Shane Larkin, and Phil Pressey. Obviously, there is some precedent for players that size making an impact in the NBA, but VanVleet's size is a limitation he'll have to compensate for as he looks to prove himself as a prospect in the post-Cleanthony Early era.

I recognize a few of those names. That is some pretty nice company to keep.Comment

If Fred doesn't go pro, my dream scenario is for him to take the reigns from HCGM someday and proceed to carry flag for our fine program."When life hands you lemons, make lemonade." Better have some sugar and water too, or else your lemonade will suck!Comment

Fred, Matty B and Ryan MartinOriginally posted by ShockerPrez View Post"I not sure that I've ever been around a more competitive player or young man than Fred VanVleet. I like to win more than 99.9% of the people in this world, but he may top me." -- Gregg Marshall 12/23/13 :peaceful:

Pretty good, Mr. World Cup -- you mean for NOT successfully recruiting Ellis?Originally posted by Kung Wu View PostComment

C'mon. That was dripping with sarcasm. This sounds a tad bit defensive.Originally posted by WSUwatcher View PostComment

I remember listening to the radio, waiting to hear Ellis say where he was going. He announced KU, and I was sad. I was sad because we weren't able to land that really high end prospect. That was because I was still selling Marshall way short. Come to find out, the only thing we needed was Marshall. Marshall took different, less acclaimed guys and has now outperformed KU for two seasons straight...during Ellis's hay day. I don't care much about KU in the first place, but it sure is funny to look back on my own feeling that we missed on a guy because we didn't have that "tradition" only to find that we have a coach who can make up for the difference.Originally posted by Kung Wu View PostComment
