휴스턴 small-ball에 숨겨진 윙스펜의 비밀!

 Players like James Harden, Covington, and Russell Westbrook may not be the tallest players on the court but their long wingspans make a big difference..

"하든.로코.러스는 코트에서 가장큰 선수들은 아니지만 그들의 긴 윙스펜은 경기력에 큰 차이를 만든다.."

Robert Covington, who the Rockets traded for right before the trade deadline, has a wingspan of 7-foot-2 which, for context, is only one inch shorter than that of Tyson Chandler. This gives Covington the ability to sometimes block shots as if he is a traditional center.

요약: 로코의 윙스펜은 7풋2인치(218cm..본인보다 신장이 10cm이상 차이나는 타이슨챈들러보다 1인치 차이) 

이는 로코에게 정통센터인것 처럼 블락능력을 준다.

그외.....

James Harden is a perfect example, as he stands 6-foot-5 but has a wingspan of 6-11

Russell Westbrook, who stands at 6-3, has a 6-8 wingspan. Along with his tremendous natural athleticism, this is a big reason he is a top 15 rebounder every year. The team’s starting center, P.J. Tucker, stands at 6-5 but has a 6-9¾ wingspan.

The reason wingspan is more important for Houston than it is for just about every other team is that it helps the Rockets’ switch-everything defense, as each player can guard any position. This is part of the reason the Rockets haven’t had many problems not playing a traditional center.

다른 팀들 대부분보다 휴스턴에게 윙스펜이  더 중요한 이유는 각 선수가 어떤 포지션도 지킬 수 있기 때문에 로켓츠의 모든 수비를 전환하는 데 도움이 되기 때문이다.,  (정통센타가 없어서겪는 많은 고충들때문에.............)
