The photo at this link makes me feel better about Thomas Robinson vs. the Unibrow. While his shoulder is a little higher than Anthony Davis's shoulder, so is the tip of his finger a little higher than Davis's. This indicates to me that he is in the same ball park with Davis as far as arm length. Also, he definitely looks like a man playing next to more of a boy(which would be SOMEWHAT expected since Davis is two years younger).

It could be the angle, but it looks like Davis' armpit/base of his arm is a good bit lower than Robinson's while the tip of his finger is just lower.

You could just wait for the combine as it is very close now. Patience is a virtue

The more I look at it, I agree with you. Plus, Robinson's arm is fully extended/vertical, while Davis's arm is slightly bent and slightly diagonal.

But at least Robinson definitely looks built on a bigger scale......

Yeah, their arms look similar, but I think Davis's is actually longer with his arm angled. That being said, Robinson's no T-Rex. I feel good about his length.

Robinson is the more physical guy and i think that will help us (if we draft him) of getting points in the paint and also on the defensive end
