Ranking the top 10 NBA Players with the longest wingspan in the 2022-23 season featuring Anthony Davis, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and more

Even as the NBA has evolved to a 3-point game, teams are still looking for players with a great wingspan. Top prospect Victor Wembanyama has a wingspan of 7 feet, 8.0 inches, providing rim protection but can also light things up from the perimeter.

Big men are learning to make 3-point shots, which makes their wingspan a bonus. A player who can shoot and has the length to block shots and grab rebounds is a rare talent.

Below are the top 10 NBA players with the longest wingspan in the 2022-23 season.
