@draftexpress: Texas freshman Marcus Spears Jr. has a physical profile that closely resembles that of Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson, despite being two years younger at the time of their respective measurements Spears checked in at 6’8 ¼” barefoot, 208 pounds, with a 7’1” wingspan during Texas’ recent preseason testing. Johnson measured 6’7 ¾” barefoot, 210 pounds, with a 7’0 ¼” wingspan at the 2021 NBA Draft Combine At just 17.5 years old, Spears already possesses impressive positional size and length, measuring slightly taller and longer than Johnson did at 19.5. His physical tools provide an intriguing foundation for his long-term development Texas opens up their season tomorrow against Chicago State #nbadraft #texaslonghorns #texas #NBA #basketball
