Beyond interviews and athletic drills, the 2025 NBA Draft Combine’s anthropometric measurements including height, wingspan, and reach have stolen the spotlight this season. These stats offer NBA scouts critical data to evaluate potential, as well fans like us a glimpse of what we can expect from a prospect.
This year’s class features an impressive crop of towering talents, with several players standing well above the rest. Below, we have the five tallest prospects this season, based on their barefoot height measurements.
Rocco Zikarsky: 7’3”
Rocco Zikarsky, an 18-year-old Australian center from the NBL’s Brisbane Bullets, stands as the tallest prospect at the 2025 combine. Measured at 7’3” barefoot, 257 pounds, with a 7’4 ¾” wingspan and a 9’6 ½” standing reach.
Zikarsky has the highest reach in this draft class. His size alone makes him a potential defensive star, averaging one block in just seven minutes per game last season in the NBL. While his offensive game remains somewhat undercooked, his ability to protect the rim and finish lobs has attracted many scouts’ attention.
Ryan Kalkbrenner: 7’1”
Creighton’s Ryan Kalkbrenner, measured at 7’1” without shoes, is a defensive anchor with an impressive resume. The 23-year-old center’s combine stats include a reported 260 pounds and a 7’5” wingspan, according to recent scouting reports.
Kalkbrenner, a three-time Big East Defensive Player of the Year, averaged 17.3 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 3.1 blocks per game last season, shooting 64.6% from the field.
Khaman Maluach: 7’0.75”
Duke freshman Khaman Maluach is a center with a jaw-dropping 7’0.75” height. He is one of the most interesting big guys in the 2025 class. Weighing 235 pounds with a reported 7’6.75” wingspan, Maluach’s length and athleticism make him a defensive standout.
Maluach was a 5-star recruit who averaged 10.2 points and 7.1 rebounds in his limited playtime alongside Duke’s Cooper Flagg.
Maxime Raynaud: 7’0.25”
Stanford’s Maxime Raynaud, a 7’0.25” center, rounds out the top five. At 245 pounds with a 7’3” wingspan, Raynaud’s combine measurements highlight his versatility. Last season, he averaged 15.5 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 2.0 assists, shooting 56.7% from the field and 36.1% from three.
His ability to stretch the floor and pass makes him an exception when compared to the traditional “big guys” of a team. Raynaud’s strong combine showing, paired with his skill set, makes him a late first- or early second-round candidate for teams.
Vladislav Goldin: 7’0”
Vladislav Goldin, a 24-year-old center formerly with Michigan and Florida Atlantic, measured at 7’0” barefoot. His combine stats include 250 pounds and a 7’4” wingspan, aligning with his role as a physical paint presence.
