Is Hedo taller than Dwight......

Or has Dwight really grown since he was drafted?? Just curious cuz Dwight easily looks taller than Hedo to me, but idk. His pre-draft measurements say he is only 6'9".............

Dwight's probably about a half inch to an inch taller than Hedo, who is probably shorter than his listed height.

According to the Fiba/Olympic site Dwight has grown only about a little less than what would be a quarter inch. Which in NBA terms has him at 6'10.475"
so hes at 6'10 1/2", when we drafted him he was 6'10.22" in shoes.

None of that matters as much as standing reach which he has a 7-0 players reach. Head height is meaningless.

Just click his profile. They measure and weigh (i believe) all olympic athletes on event of thier initial participation, its in centimeters, so just convert it to Inches.

wheres his profile? i want to know how much dwight weighs bc its been reported he was up to like 285 at one point but most places say 265. i think its in the middle, probably closer to 265.

Dwight has been quoted once as saying that Hedo was taller than him. I'd find the link, but I'm lazy.

Bosh was listed @ 6' 10.25" without shoes pre-draft, and Howard as 6' 9" flat. But in this photo, Howard looks just as tall as Bosh..... Bosh might have a qtr of an inch on him, but not much more then that, which i think would have to make Dwight around 6' 10" w/out shoes and around 6'11" with shoes. Bosh is NOT an inch and a half taller than Dwight tho. Observe.

Dwight might even actually be a bit taller than Bosh @ this point....

Says here 6'11, 264 pounds. Not sure if it's accurate though.

^ 211 cm's = 6' 11.07" which sounds about right. I'm guessin thats in shoes.....

Christ u lazyasses.....How hard would it have been to google Fiba?

(08 GAMES LINK A FEW POSTS DOWN)

Anyways...their centimeters measurements are more accurate than us rounding inches at the draft camp. Dwight measured 211cm which is 6'11.07". The measurement they have for Turk is 203cm. aka 6'7.9". Turkoglu's measurement is iffy only beacuse he was measured a very long time ago because he played for his country years and years ago. He came into the nba listed at 6'8" then he had a very noticable growth spurt late (about his 3rd year into the league) and sprouted to around 6'10 (in shoes).

{EDITED FOR MY OWN IGNORANCE...MAGIC CITY IS GOD OF the calculator.....CARRY ON... :lol:

Either FIBA's measurements arent as accurate as they say or Bosh must have played International earlier than this because hes def not shorter than Dwight after seeing those pics.

Maybe Bosh played FIBA during his early college years or something and they held those measurements...I dont know what to think. :-?
