Jared Sullinger measures 6'10" in shoes with a 7'1" wingspan.

Shoes + Socks + Even more pairs of socks = Padded height

I think they really should measure them with AND without shoes.

Or just without shoes. The "in shoes" measurement is worthless.

Just like in the PBA, but they are finally listing their players height without shoes in their official website. It looks kinda weird.

The only weird part is a Filipino guy being 6'6". What the **** were they feeding that mutant?

Most of the tall players here are Half American or Fil-Foreign Players. Jay-R Reyes is a natural born Filipino player. His parents are probably tall. I think the average height of PBA Players is 6'3". The tallest player is Aguilar at 6'8", and Greg Slaughter 6'11". ( Played in the Invitational tournament)

I went to college with a few Filipino guys. One guy in my dorm sophomore year was 5'2" on a good day. Biggest calves I've ever seen though. Went to the gym all the time. I bet he could squat, like, 300+ lbs.

[QUOTE=Scoooter]You linked to the draftexpress.com profile of Bismack Byombo, who I assume you were talking about. Skyenga, who plays for the Cavs, I think is only, like, 6'5".

Besides, half an inch in the corrupt and unreliable world of NBA prospect height measurement? You can't be that accurate and take that shit seriously. Who knows what the **** is going on out there. 6'10" Michael Beasely turned out to actually be 6'7" and change. Define "official". It's all bullshit.[/QUOTE]
The 6'10 was a bullshit measurement, 6'7 was the official pre-draft measurement.

[QUOTE=Scoooter]What's this [I]probably[/I] bullshit? There's no probably about it. It wouldn't be unreasonable if he hadn't grown at all. I was like, almost 6'1" when I was 15. Guess how tall I am now? The exact same. ****ing non-NBA genes. :mad:[/QUOTE]

Lebron said himself he is 6'9 in shoes, so let's give him the benefit of doubt hmm? Even though he is a proven lying scumbag. So yes it is very reasonable that he grew an inch since 17 years old.

[QUOTE=Pinkhearts]Old. Measurement taken when Lebron was 17. He has grown an inch since then.

Lebron himself has stated he is 6'9 in shoes several times.

Unless you are happy telling everyone here LEbron is actually 6'7?[/QUOTE]
He was 18 and no Lebron did not grow. Yes people do grow after 18 but Lebron is not one of them dude was looking way too old.

:wtf:

Pinkhearts, you need to try and make a somewhat graceful exit from this thread. It was a complete nonstarter for you.

Love this guy's game. Reminds me of right-handed Zach Randolp............gms fear is he'll be Mike Sweetney 2.0

He'd be a better fit at the 4. Let him bang against smaller players.

[QUOTE=Swaggin916]He'd be a better fit at the 4. Let him bang against smaller players.[/QUOTE]
I don't think anyone is advocating he would be a better, or even good fit at the five spot, just that he could handle himself there in a pinch. I disagree, because I think he'll turn out smaller when better measurements come in, but the informed consensus seems to be that he's a power forward, undersized or not.

Regardless of what his actual measurements are, the kid uses his body extremely well. His feet are stellar for a player his age and while he's obviously not gonna be swatting shots into the rafters he knows how to get into a guy legally and effect his shot on defense. He's absolutely a + level starting NBA 4.

Well you haven't even made an entrance. LOL at you retards. Lebron himself said he was 6'9. Should I believe you guys know his growth better than the man himself?
