Is Eric Gordon 6'5"?

Rose measured out at 6'3.5" in shoes. Gordon appears to be at least 1.5" taller in this photo, which would put him at least 6'5" in shoes.

If he does measure out at 6'5", does it push him ahead of Bayless and/or Mayo?

No way Gordon is 6'5, although I agree that picture is deceiving. Flip that 5 upside down and you're a lot closer.

If he's wearing 3 inch heels, maybe.

If you look at the arms and his frame he is closer in the picture than Rose which makes him look taller.

Just wait til Orlando.

Gordon *seems* like an undersized SG, but if he is actually 6'4" without shoes, then he's not undersized at all. Most SGs list themselves at 6'6", but are actually about 6'4". For example, I think Kobe is actually around 6'4.5" without shoes, and Ben Gordon, a truly undersized SG, is actually 6'1" without shoes. Eric Gordon has a solid frame, and is obviously an excellent SG in college - if he is a legit 6'4" without shoes, teams would give him a good look as high as #3. The concern has never been with his game, the question has just been "will his game transfer over, since he is PG sized, with few PG skills." If he's SG size, I don't see what the concern is.

Yea, I'd say Gordon is 6'4 (nba height), which is definitely acceptable considering his athleticism and how small 2 guards are getting.

I think Eric Gordon will do fine. If Mobley can have a successful career in the NBA, I don't see why Gordon can't have a better career.

I've heard him listed at 6'2".

Won't know for sure until Orlando.

Listed at 6'2? Listed? Where? Ive stood right next to him...I am a solid 5'10, and I can tell you he was at least 5 inches taller than me. Id say he will measure out at 6'4.

5'10" plus 5" is 6'3" and I think that's max. he looks shorter than that on the court. he knows he needs to become a point guard at the next level.

Operative words in my statement: At least. He doesnt need to become a point guard. He needs to learn to handle the ball much better, sure, but not necessarily become a point guard.
