Vanderbilt guard Tyler Tanner posted a 5'10.75" frame and 19.5 PPG at the NBA Combine, marking him as a fringe first‑round prospect with upside and size concerns.

TL;DR
Vanderbilt guard Tyler Tanner measured 5'10.75" barefoot at the NBA Combine and averaged 19.5 points per game last season, marking him as a fringe first‑round prospect. His measurements place him among the shorter guards in this year's draft class.
Context
Tanner attended the combine ahead of scrimmage sessions that began Wednesday. He joins a group of prospects from programs such as Wisconsin, Auburn and Kentucky. The event gives NBA scouts a close look at his physical tools and on‑court production.
Key Facts
At the combine Tanner recorded a height of 5'10.75", weight of 167 pounds, a wingspan of 6'4.25" and a standing reach of 7'9". In the 2025‑26 season he posted 19.5 points, 3.6 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game while shooting 48.5% from the field and 36.8% from three‑point range. He told ESPN that his lifelong goal is to play in the NBA, that he is fully focused on achieving it and that he aims to elevate his teammates while showcasing his abilities.
Added Context
During his freshman year Tanner averaged 5.6 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game. His sophomore season represents a significant leap in scoring and playmaking. Tanner has said he is maintaining his college eligibility and would receive the most lucrative contract in Vanderbilt basketball history if he returns to school.
Combine Testing
The combine also tests athletic agility, shooting and vertical leap, providing overall data that teams use to compare prospects.
What It Means
Tanner’s size remains a concern for teams that prioritize length, but his scoring efficiency and playmaking ability provide offensive upside. Scouts will weigh his ability to create shots against his defensive limitations and limited vertical reach. His performance in the upcoming scrimmages and interview feedback will shape whether he moves into the first round or slips to the second.
Watch for his scrimmage performances later this week and any post‑combines interviews that may shift draft projections.
