I'm 6'3, not that that tall.

Played against quite a few 7 footers in high school, they gave him an extra inch as they usually do with height measurements.

He looked closer to 6'11-7' to be honest, they have him listed at 7'1; a little on the lanky side for his size. Can't wait to see what magic Mckechnie works in regards to his strength/conditioning.





Yeah I thought DeRozan looked 6'6.25 when I saw him, but they listed him. At 6'7

I met DeRozan at an autograph signing event, Dude looked 6'6.75 but I guess they have him listed at 6'7 just to round it up.

If you had taken a pic... Would the viewer think his arms look bigger?

Just admit you don't know exactly how tall he is. It's okay.

Saw JV across the road this one time. Looked 6'12" but I guess they list him as 7'0" to make him sound taller. They usually do with height measurements.
