Okay, so I wanted to see for myself what Derrick Rose’s wingspan really was. I’d heard it was impressive, but you know, seeing is believing.

Digging for Info
I started by, you know, hitting up the internet. Gotta start somewhere, right? I found some info stating that.
Derrick Rose has a 6 foot 8 inch wingspan.
I was like,” Okay, that is pretty wild consider his height.”
Thinking It Through
Then I started thinking about how that wingspan would actually help him on the court. It makes total sense!
- Finishing at the rim: Longer arms mean he can reach further, making it easier to get those tricky layups, even with big guys trying to block him.
- Overall Advantage: It’s just a physical edge, a bigger reach to make things easier to score.
Wrapping Up
It is an impressive wingspan. After going through all the information, it’s very clear how this is such a huge asset for Derrick Rose, especially as a point guard!
