Former Utes center Jakob Poeltl towered over Pac-12 opponents last season. Now, he's towering over most of the prospects at the NBA combine in Chicago.

Poeltl officially measured in at 7 feet 1 inch tall with shoes on, behind only Chinese prospect Zhou Qi at 7 feet 2 inches tall. Poeltl also tied for the second biggest hand width measurement at 10.25 inches, behind Vanderbilt's Damian Jones at 10.50 inches.

Weber State's Joel Bolomboy had the same width measurement as Poeltl at 6 feet 9 inches tall.
