Man I saw like 3/4 of Duke vs Virginia (fell asleep twice unfortunately lol) and if I hadn't heard of him, I'd think Cam wasn't even a nba prospect... so disappointing, no energy/motor and when he did attack or do anything of relevance it didn't look too good either. I know I might get killed, but he sort of reminded me of Ben Mclemore...

To bad Neemias Queta isn't playing against anyone good consistently. Does seem like a guy you could develop with that length.

Is it just me or does PJ Washington look to be 6'9.25"?

There's no way he's 6-7.

Unless the NBA measured incorrectly at the Draft Combine, or he grew enough to make him 6'9.25 in sneakers (or without, whatever you think he is), then, yes, that is correct.

he's a little bit taller than Draymond. about the same wingspan.

not the defensive player, but actually a much better offensive player. underrated passer, too.

We’re starting to finally see teams get comfortable and it seems like some players are finally starting to make names for themselves either on other players absence or just with more comfort. There are some solid guys under the radar right now.

And Jarrett Culver is 6-5 right? They make mistakes all the time with measurements. The draft combine has come up with measurements that didn't even make sense before. Instead of relying on data that seems incorrect, I want to know what people think his height is without relying on official measurements.

Culver was never measured at the NBA combine. PJ Washington was.

Yes...as far as we know. I'm not sure why you're questioning this.

Certainly better than wild guesses, wouldn't you say?

I think last year someone was measured differently than the year before. There are also theories that players intentionally try to cheat the system. But it’s the most professional measuring system we have.

The measurement that is gamed at the Combine is max vert which players game by tanking their standing reach (which is extremely easy to do). I became aware of this for the first time with Harrison Barnes who measured with an 8'5" standing reach and 42" vert.
I was right about 3 point shooting. I expect to be right about Tacko Fall. Some coach will figure out how to use Tacko Fall. This movement towards undersized centers will sweep ng back. Back to the basket scorers will return to the NBA.

The combine has him listed as being 6-6, it's not a wild guess when obviously the measurements are wrong.

so we should reference your eyeball test instead of actual measurements at the combine?
