Message: [QUOTE="willtalk, post: 4805594, member: 1220"] Having followed Oregon St more than most, I thought I had a very good perspective on Taylor Jones while she was there. Both her strengths and weaknesses. But that was some time ago. There is one thing that did not change and that is her length. She has freakishly long arms that give her a playing reach far beyond her 6'4" listen height. I always thought it was counter productive to list basketball players heights by measuring the tops of their heads. I have never seen a player consistently shoot or block shots with their heads. It makes me think of a high school player a few years ago who was listed at 7'6" but had a neck that had to be a foot and a half long. Players should be measured by their reach. Not everyones body configuration is the same. Some have very long torso's with short arms and short legs. Alligator arms so to speak. [/QUOTE]
