Found June 03, 2008 on MVN:
Every year prior to the NBA draft they have all of the potential draftees measured and weighed. Most players that play in college are listed taller then they actually are and this gives the NBA general managers a chance to see their true height and weight. They also test for vertical leap, wingspan etc, if you check the link to draftexpress.com all of the stats are there. The lottery was slightly affected when Eric Gordon (Indiana) measured 6'2 in his bare-feet, but when they did the sprints and agility tests he graded as a world class athlete, so it might not affect his draft status. For Joey Dorsey (Memphis) his 6'6 ? height, most certainly keeps him in the second round and Lester Hudson's (Tennessee at Martin) 5'11 ? was equally disappointing.
