Is being 6'9'' the worst chance to succeed in the league?

[keep-itreal]

too small to play power forward

too slow to play small forward

[Fudge]

too small to play power forward

too slow to play small forward
A team with a 6'7" Center/PF just won the championship, ******.

[PejaNowitzki]

Not sure when 6'9" became too small to be a power forward.


Karl Malone and Chris Webber were 6'9" PF's, Ben Wallace was a beast of a center, even at 6'9". Kurt Thomas did okay for himself. David West has had a good career.

[ShackEelOKneel]

There are plenty of good 6'9" guys.

Working for Rodney Hood. Playing 1-4 in summer league!

Isn't Christian Thompson 6'9 ??

Isn't Durant 6"9? It depends on your skillset and other attributes. Some would say 6'4 is too short to play shooting guard but that didn't seem to stop Wade...

Listed at 6'9, but he's really 6'11

[Akrazotile]

NBA heights are all inflated.

Blake Griffin is not a legit 6'9. Neither is Randolph and a bunch of dudes playing PF.

6'9 is REALLY tall.

[Levity]

Height alone doesnt define effectiveness. Strength, foot speed/lateral speed, IQ, and wing span all play factors in how a player can impact a game.

And no it isn't "unanimously agreed" that he grew, I don't think he grew at all. Durant was 6-9 in 2006, and 6-9 a year later in 2007. What'd he completely stop growing for an entire year, then suddenly start growing again? :lol

Wasn't Hakeem closer to 6-9?
Plenty more HOF/50-greatest players are close to 6-9 being a little under or over.

I'm sure none of these guys feel unfortunate to have grown to be about 6' 9 that seems like a great height to be :lol

[SHAQisGOAT]

Yea, I'm sure that being that tall hurts you as a basketball player :rolleyes:

[FireDavidKahn]

6'9 is just fine for a SF if you got a handle.

[jamal99]

6'9 is just fine for a SF if you got a handle.
And fine for PF if you got long wingspan...

[highwhey]

I think OP meant being a tweener. Like 6'9 can make you an awkward player if you're not fast enough to hang with SF's but too small to hold your own against a downlow big that bangs in the post. Morris brothers sort of remind me of this. The game has changed so much tho, it's not like we have karl malones on every team. The line is still pretty visible when you talk about andre wiggins being a SF and Blake Griffin a PF but what about the in betweeners? Some dudes can get away with, think Z-Bo, his head is closer to the ground than a lot of other bigs but he hangs bc of his agressiveness and style of play.

[CavaliersFTW]

And fine for PF if you got long wingspan...
And also fine for a center if you've got long wingspan plus a lot of strength or bulk.

[ralph_i_el]

Nope. 6'9" is just fine :D

[Prometheus]

6'9" is pretty close to the mean height of the NBA. This means it's almost the PERFECT height to succeed in the league - if you're the average height of an NBA player, you have a better chance to BE an NBA player than if you were any other height. God OP is retarded.

Yup. OP threw a lot of people off with the 6'9" height and should've said what you said. There certainly are guys who are sort of stuck in the middle. Guys who aren't big enough to bang with 4s but aren't fluid enough to play 3 for an entire game. It's not just height but a combo of height, weight, length, strength, fluidity and athleticism.

6'9" is on the tall side. The perfect size is around 6'6" or 6'7". Tall enough to still impact the game with your height but small enough where you maintain a lot of the small man coordination and quickness.

These guys are under 6-10? What planet are some of you living on.

At the end of the day a couple of inches in height doesn't matter as long as the guy has game.

Barkley, Larry Johnson, Green, Shawn Marion...all guys who played tons of power forward and excelled in the league.

Willis Reed, Wes Unseld, Hakeem, Mourning, Ben Wallace...all undersized guys who excelled at the 5.

I'd rather have a 6-10 center who is athletic, mobile, and can play his a$$ off over some 7-2 half stiff.

Hell....average the height of staring PF's and C's in the league right now and it's probably close to 6-9 and under 7 foot.

Shorter guys who have athletic, and coordination/mobility advantages are going to kill 7 foot stiffs on things like rebounding, team defense, even shot blocking.

Hakeem is borderline 6-10. Hayes WAS 6-9 1/2, but, like virtually everyone else his age, has shrunk slightly.

Bill Russell was a shade under 6-10, and has likly lost some height...

Height is overstated. Wingspan is more important.

[LAZERUSS]

The "6-9" Ben Wallace...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Wallace


Wallace was listed at 6 ft 9 in (2.06 m), though he has admitted that he is closer to 6 ft 7 in (2.01 m).

And who was taller...the "7-0" Hakeem, or the "6-11" Walton...

http://www.nytimes.com/1994/06/08/sports/on-pro-basketball-feet-of-dancer-touch-of-surgeon-and-a-shot-too.html


The skinny on Hakeem Olajuwon is that he was taller when he was Akeem Olajuwon. He used to be a 7-foot center, when he played for the University of Houston and for many of his years here with the Rockets.

He never looked seven feet. In fact, when he played against the Boston Celtics in the 1986 finals, he appeared to be dwarfed by Bill Walton, who was listed as 6 feet 11 inches.

Walton was 7-2, at least, but didn't enjoy the stigma that went along with it. Asked that year why he looked so much taller than Olajuwon when he was supposed to be one inch smaller, Walton said, rather testily, "The floor's warped."

About the time Olajuwon corrected the world on the spelling of his first name, he also admitted he was closer to 6-10.

Oh, and how about this laughable comparison...

The "7-1" Spencer Hawes, or the "6-11" Kevin Garnett.

Draft Express measured Hawes, without shoes, at 6-10 1/2.

http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Spencer-Hawes-483/


Garnett?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Garnett


Although Garnett is officially listed as 6 ft 11 in (2.11 m) by the NBA, he is widely accepted to be at least 7 ft 0 in (2.13 m) tall.[65][66] During the 2007 NBA All-Star Game, Garnett admitted in an interview with Craig Sager to be "6 ft 11 in and some quarters" (2.12 m) tall.[67] Measurements from the 1995 NBA Draft show the 19 year-old Garnett measured 6 ft 11 in (2.11 m) tall barefoot.[68] In 1997, Garnett was measured by Minnesota Timberwolves training staff as 7 ft 1 in (2.16 m) tall in his basketball shoes.[69]

No, Shaq claimed on Howard Stern that he himself was 6-11.5 in real life.

And no he did not measure over 7 feet - unless you count his in shoes measurements. For a long time Draftexpress had him pegged at 7-1 without shoes, based on a newspaper article that cited him at 7' 0.63" and 7' 0.88" from the 90's during the draft. But it turns out those were actually with shoes measurements. So they updated his profile to "7-0" without shoes. They use a rounded number but I think if he had a 1" or 1.25" thick shoe like most players that would put him almost right exactly at 6-11.5 like he admitted to being.

That also explains why an old Wilt, who had most recently measured 7-0 and 1/2" in the mid 1980's, appeared taller than him when they met.

Barkley was a beast PF and he played Power Forward. Height doesnt really mean anything.

I'd say your worst chance would have to be having dwarfism. Certainly much worse than being 6'9".

Not true, Draymond Green made it.

[90sgoat]

6'8'' used to be the golden standard height for power forwards.

Legit 6'8'' that is.

Most small forwards in this league are 6'7'' or maybe even 6'6''.

[feyki]

5'11 ?

[FatComputerNerd]

Barkey was barely 6'5 and led the league in rebounds how many years?

He really is 6-9 actually.

People who are listed 6-11 are actually usually 6-9. Such as Dwight Howard.
