The NBA Draft combine began yesterday with everyone's favorite tradition - the anthropometric measurements!

Key measurements taken include height without shoes, wingspan, standing reach and weight. While these numbers aren't the end all be all for draft stock, they do help NBA front offices project production based on previous class' data.

Some notable measurements taken yesterday:

Flory Bidunga (Louisville): 6'7 3/4" barefoot with a 7'3 1/4" wingspan

Malachi Moreno (Kentucky): 6'11 3/4" barefoot with a 7'1 1/2" wingspan

Amari Allen (Alabama): 6'5 1/4" barefoot with a 6'8" wingspan and an 8'3 1/2" standing reach

Morez Johnson Jr. (Michigan): 6'9" barefoot with a 7'3 1/2" wingspan

Christian Anderson (Texas Tech): 6' 3/4" barefoot with a 6'6 1/4" wingspan

Kingston Flemings (Houston): 6'2 1/2" barefoot with a 6'3 1/2" wingspan

Tyler Tanner (Vanderbilt): 5'10 3/4" barefoot with a 6'4 1/4" wingspan
