A longer wingspan is a huge advantage in sports and especially basketball. If we break it down between the offense and defense, the advantages are different but very useful nonetheless. Firstly, taking offense into consideration, a longer wingspan allows a player to extend his arms higher while taking shots. This can be quite effective when players are face to face with tall opponents. It can also be a boon while going to the basket for a layup or a dunk as the player gets that extra arm length to reach higher. Another area of advantage is catching wayward passes that otherwise could go beyond reach. Grabbing offensive rebounds is also managed with relative ease.

Secondly, while on defense, longer wingspans are great for reaching for steals, blocking shots, and deflecting passes. It can also favor contesting shots as those extra couple of inches can go a long way in making the opponent take a tough shot. And of course, it’s quite important to not miss out on any defensive boards as well.
