http://www.indystar.com/article/2011121 ... Star.com|pIndiana Pacers swingman Paul George doesn't want to settle for just a "late growth spurt" with his body. He wants to grow his game, too.
George, who grew 2 inches to 6-10 during the offseason, is putting in the time to make sure his skills progress. One tactic the 21-year-old has adopted is to routinely be one of the first players on the practice court and one of the last ones off it.
A 6'10 SG is gonna be interesting to see. Don't think any of our guys could handle that.

anthony davis looks like he will still grow too. i remember garnett grew a couple of inches after he came into the league as well. but still, this is impressive. paul george is a specimen.

I just turned 21 and standing at 6'5, 2 more inches and maybe I can be a more dominant post player at pick up!

Wasn't he already 6'9? Listed at 6'8, sure, but combine begs to differ.

If Indiana somehow managed to swing a Granger for Gordon deal he'd be moving to the 3

Can anyone confirm that Amir is standing @ 6'11" now? Or else it will be sad to have our PF shorter than the opposing team's SG.

LOL how is a person growing 2 inches impressive? its a natural function his body employed based on genetic predisposition. he's not actually physically doing anything himself to impress anyone lol.

Nope, I'd eyeball him at about 6'9" in shoes, he was plainly a couple of inches shorter than Chris Boosh after he cut his hair (although without the giraffe neck, I would guess his standing reach was taller) . Ed Davis is in that neighborhood too.
Although it's technically possible that Amir could grow taller at 24, it's highly unlikely.

I'm not sure this is a good thing for him. He's too scrawny to play PF, & the extra length/ height might make it more difficult to effectively play the SF position (affecting coordination/ mobility).
