Giannis Antetokounmpo Has Grown 2 Inches Since Being Drafted in 2013

[Smook A.]

He was 6'9 when he was drafted. Now it's being reported that he's 6'11... wow



[Velazquez] Have you had discussions about how players' positions may change based on No. 2 pick?

[Hammond] 'We've talked about that. I think, once again, that these guys are multiple position guys helps that discussion. For that matter, I think Giannis is going to be a multiple position player some day. He came last September he was 6-9, 190 (lbs.) and today he's almost 6-11, 217 pounds. I think Giannis is a guy that is going to be able to play, at his size, he's going to be able to play some small forward and he's going to play some power forward some day.'

[Black and White]

In b4 Euroleague comes and says this is lies.

[Rubio2Gasol]

It's a predicament.

Do you continue to play him at 2 when he's like 7'1?

Because Larry Sanders and Henson are also talented dudes.

[Clyde]

He's the goods.

If he can get some consistency to his game, look out.

[no pun intended]

If Leonard was this physically gifted...

[Fudge]

Poor man's Durant down the road. Not a bad thing at all.

The kid is going to be an absolute monster. Gonna be 7' tall with a 7'4-5" wingspan and guard athleticism... He's shown point guard vision and passing ability, the competitiveness/work ethic that the greats of the past have/had, terrific defensive instincts, etc. His ceiling on both ends of the floor is higher than anyone under the age of 22 except Anthony Davis. Drummond has a case, but offensively I just don't see it.

And he's the youngest player in the NBA, 5-7 years away from his prime :oldlol:

He's not going to amount to anything.

well you see in America the force of the equatorial shift causes people's heights to seem larger than what they are in other parts of the world. If he were in Europe he would be nothing special and his height would not have looked like it changed at all.

[CavaliersFTW]

No he hasn't he's grown a half inch... Been stated clearly earlier this summer he measured 6-9 and now measures 6-9.5... Fukk outta here with that 6-11 fake list height shit I swear some of you will believe anything you read without fact checking or understanding how measurements work. If bleacherreport is a source that's an automatic red flag.

[ProfessorMurder]

He's solid, kind of reminds me of a less defensive Marion. He put up stats but was inconsistent because of youth/tanking/minutes.

It's not just bleacher report dude, several sources have reported it. And it comes straight from his doctors, it's not media fabrication. His growth plate is still open, and he's very likely going to reach 6'11" at the least, but more likely between 6'11" and 7'.

He was 6'9" on draft day in shoes, 6'10.25" four months later at 6'9.5" barefoot.

Bucks GM Hammond just talked about it recently, he's almost 6'11" now.

It was specifically stated he was almost 6-11 in shoes now in an article published not more than a month ago likely the very source of these dimwit articles u guys take at face value, and he measured 6-10.25 in shoes when drafted not 6-9... He grew exactly 1/2 inch so he now stands 6-10.75 in shoes or "almost 6-11". There is no 2 inches of growth. Just a half inch.

[eliteballer]

He has star written all over him...

That Nigerian DNA will come a long way with that sheer athleticism. Good thing he's playing with the real pros now instead of beasting around those unfit unathletic softie bums in the minor league. He's developing playing against the best of the best. He will be a boss when he put his game together
