Overview
- Michigan’s Aday Mara measured 7-foot-3 barefoot, 260 pounds, with a 7-foot-6 wingspan and a 9-foot-9 standing reach at the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago, according to Jonathan Givony.
- The standing reach ties Mark Williams for the second-longest in Combine history and trails only Tacko Fall’s record mark.
- Coverage says the numbers boosted his stock and could shift him from a mid-to-late first-round slot into lottery discussions.
- Mara helped Michigan win the 2026 national title and averaged 12.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and a Big Ten-best 2.6 blocks, earning Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year.
- History offers caution as well, with Williams selected 15th and Fall going undrafted in 2019 despite extraordinary size.
