I just now saw this reply and would LOVE to know how you got the impression that I used wingspan as evidence for being a successful player in the NBA.
I simply said wingspan is more important than height, which it is. If 2 players are identical in ability and one player is 6'8 with a 7'2 wingspan and another player is 6'10 with a 6'10 wingspan, you take the guy with the 7'2 wingspan.
Simply put, it would be silly to shy away from a player because of an inch or 2 in height when he has such a large wingspan.
