2026 AWS NBA Draft Combine anthro measurements for North Carolina’s Henri Veesaar:
6’11 ¼" barefoot, 227.2 pounds with a 7’2" wingspan and 9’3" standing reach
UNC's Caleb Wilson measured 6'9.25 barefoot and 211 pounds at the NBA Draft Combine, with a 7'0.25 wingspan and 9'0 standing reach.
Wilson grew an inch and added 6 pounds since our last measurements two years ago. Massive standing reach, but somewhat slight-framed for a big.
