He is only 6"9. He mentions that in the interview. I always thought he was 6"10/6"11.

Probably had the same guy measure him as measured Mark Tyndale at 6-5.

Is it just me or is the NBA Measuring standards very strict. How many times do you hear about a guy been say 6"11, then he comes into the NBA and is only 6"9.
Happened to Michael Beasley.

No biggie - he has a ridiculous wingspan so that makes up for it... Height is overrated - look at a guy like Anthony Johnson - he has no neck so gets listed at 6-3 but plays bigger... on the other hand and everyones favorite Brachiosaurus impersonator - Chris Bosh (that neck is UNBELIEVABLE) 6-11 but if he had a normal neck???....

They should use standing reach/wingspan as an additional physical attribute in various media sources... Far more relevant to assessing players...

BTW - anyone tried Google Chrome Browser (Beta) - it's pretty decent IMHO... (fast, and even has a spell check while you browse... worry about the security but-...)...
