I noticed Kenny Belton is still on board.  Any chance he contributes a lot? I've seen crazier things happen.

And not everyone got taller, some people shrank apparently.  Baltic: 6'8 --> 6'9 Cooper: 5'11 --> 6'0 Goff: 6'4 --> 6'2 Hall: 6'6 --> 6'5 Johnson: 6'4 --> 6'5 Keely: 6'8 --> 6'9 McKinley: 5'9 --> 5'10 Offutt: 6'3 --> 6'4 Smith: 6'7 --> 6'6 Taylor: 5'9 --> 5'10 Back to Top shabamon General User Member Since: 11/17/2006 Location: Cincinnati Post Count: 6,866 Status: Offline     RE: Changes in heights of players compared to last year.    Posted: 10/17/2012 11:58:54 AM  Sports heights are weird. I noticed these changes, too. For about a day, they had Kadeem Green listed at 6'6'' before changing it back to 6'8''. Based only on walking past these guys on the street. Here's what I think their accurate heights are: Baltic: 6'8 --> 6'9. Possibly accurate. He definitely has a few inches on Smith. Cooper: 5'11 --> 6'0. 5'11'' 1/2, so I can see the rounding up. Goff: 6'4 --> 6'2. Accurate. He is nowhere near 6'4'' Hall: 6'6 --> 6'5. I think 6'6'' is accurate Johnson: 6'4 --> 6'5. I think 6'4'' is accurate. Keely: 6'8 --> 6'9. 6'8'' is probably more accurate. McKinley: 5'9 --> 5'10. Don't know. Offutt: 6'3 --> 6'4. I think he's closer to 6'2'' than 6'4'' Smith: 6'7 --> 6'6. Possibly accurate. Hard to tell on the court because he's so long. But as said earlier, he's definitely a few inches shorter than Ivo. Taylor: 5'9 --> 5'10. Closer to 5'8'' than 5'10''. Also, I would put Nick at 6'1'' instead of 6'3''.

As long as it was within reason, they would would go with your number. I was always skinny, so I bumped my weight about 10-15lbs. Is DJ's case, he's probably thinking the pro guys like to see 6' versus 5'11. I'm not sure about the other guys, but maybe in Ivo's case, a post player looks better at 6'9 than 6'8. Charles Barkley always was listed at 6'6, but was really about 6'31/2. It goes on all the time.

FWIW, the 1 time I saw Kadeem Green last year he seemed bigger (vertically and horizontally) than Keely, but it wasn't a good enough look so I could believe I was wrong. I've seen crazier things happen.

Also, I would put Nick at 6'1'' instead of 6'3''. This has to do a lot with personal growth. You can learn height. There needs to be an investigation regarding young Mr. McKinley's unwillingness to be measured! Where's the band?! WHERE"S THE BAND?!

We just added inches to everyone.  Not sure who we were intimidating because I doubt any opposing coaches read our programs before they got to the gym.  Anyway, I've never believed a listed height or weight since then.  Back to Top JSF General User Member Since: 1/29/2005 Location: Houston, TX Post Count: 6,554 Status: Offline     RE: Changes in heights of players compared to last year.    Posted: 10/18/2012 5:06:08 PM  Brian Smith wrote: shabamon wrote: Sports heights are weird.

I didn't realize he had hip problems.  I only recall spinal cord issues.  Cannot believe he has two issues that serious and is still going at it.  Very commendable. edit: http://nrcom.xnetweb03.nrinteractive.com/blog/56101/entry/140069 Guess the issues are related.  I heard spinal cord and assumed neck, but I guess it does go down your back near your hips too.  Crazy stuff.  Hope he at least is able to reduce pain and meet his goals in rehab.
