Taylor Hendricks’ Wingspan

Taylor Hendricks’ wingspan is measured at 7'2.5”

Having a large wingspan can be advantageous for a player in the NBA in several ways. Here are some examples:

Rebounding: A long wingspan can help a player grab rebounds that are out of reach for other players. With longer arms, players can reach up and over their opponents to snag the ball, giving their team more opportunities to score.

Defense: A long wingspan can be a huge asset on the defensive end of the court. Players with long wingspans can contest shots more effectively, block more shots, and disrupt passing lanes. This can make it difficult for opposing teams to score.

Offense: On the offensive end, a long wingspan can help a player finish at the rim with ease. With longer arms, players can extend their reach and finish over defenders, even in traffic. This can make them more effective scorers in the paint.

Overall, a long wingspan can give a player an advantage in many different aspects of the game, which can be particularly useful in the NBA where the competition is fierce.
