Okay, so I’ve been watching a bit more basketball lately, and this name, Franz Wagner, kept popping up. You hear commentators talk about players, their skills, and sometimes their physical stats. It got me thinking.
Getting Curious about the Measurables
I started wondering about Wagner specifically. He looks pretty long on the court, you know? Tall guy, sure, but sometimes it’s that wingspan that really makes a difference. It’s one of those things you hear about, but I wanted to actually check it out for myself. It’s like, does he really have that reach everyone seems to imply?
The Search Process
So, I sat down at my computer. First thing, just typed “Franz Wagner wingspan” into the search bar. Simple enough, right? Well, sort of. You get a bunch of results immediately. Some forum posts, some articles, some stat sites. The first few hits gave slightly different numbers, which is always a bit annoying. You see stuff like “around 7 feet,” “maybe 7’0″ or 7’1″”.
I decided I needed something a bit more solid. I remembered that the NBA Combine usually measures this stuff pretty officially. So, I tried refining my search, looking for “Franz Wagner NBA draft combine measurements”. That seemed to narrow it down. Found a few sports news outlets and draft-specific sites referencing his combine results.
Finding the Numbers
After digging through a couple of reliable-looking sources, the consensus seemed to settle. Most places listed his wingspan right around the 7-foot mark. Sometimes specifically 7’0″. That felt more concrete than just vague guesses.
- Checked draft reports.
- Looked at official combine results summaries.
- Compared numbers across a few trusted sports sites.
Putting it in Perspective
So, I found the number. Seven feet. It might not sound crazy long compared to some of the real giants in the league, but think about his height. He’s listed around 6’9″ or 6’10”. A 7-foot wingspan on that frame? That’s definitely a plus. It’s a positive differential, which is what teams look for.
It made sense when I thought back to watching him play. That reach definitely helps him on defense – getting into passing lanes, contesting shots. Even on offense, finishing around the rim. It’s not just an abstract number; you can kind of see how it translates onto the court when you know what to look for. It was interesting to go through the process, starting with just hearing the name and ending up confirming those physical tools everyone talks about. Just a little stat check I did for myself.
