Some guys don't always get measured with shoes on at the combine. Just add 2 inches to their heigh to adjust for their shoe lift. McConnell is probably 6'2.5 in shoes and sears 6'0 and Alabama just rounded it up to 6'1.
Both are listed at 6'1 at basketball sites. If these are the measurements without shoes, Sears' no is probably rounded up and TJ's rounded down. But the argument doesn't change. The same career pathway if he wants to see floor time.
Or basketball sites got unvetted information sent from schools that fudged the numbers or the sites guessed based on old information. The combine is actual height at the time of the draft and there is a 2 inch difference you can't ignore. It's not the be all end all but two inches at that height matters.

We have not yet seen Sears not being able to hang physically in the NBA at least, unlike Ty-Ty before we acquired him. And Sears at least has strength + athleticism. Ty-Ty was much taller, but still didn't have any physical component to gain advantages relative to opponents.
IDK why anyone would be excited about players from mid 2nd thru 2-ways. They're the true lottery picks. Just have to make some better bets w/ reasons they pan out. W/ Green it was shooting & strength. Sears it's that + athleticism, to hopefully overcome being much shorter.

Not that it really matters for the NBA, but Ty Ty Washington was never a 1st-Team Consensus All-American either. He was pretty nondescript his 1 year at Kentucky. Sears meanwhile has been everything to Alabama that Brunson was to Villanova (aside from the NCAA Titles) during his collegiate career.

yeah, granted the odds are against him due to his size, but you can't just write everyone off because of low probability. you give them a chance and let the chips fall. but this kid has heart, so that's something.

The Horst hate on here is wild to me.
He's won a title and kept Giannis in MIlwaukee long term. What else was he supposed to do?
Everyone on here clamors GMs to make big trades and bring in guys to help their stars. Horst has done exactly that repeatedly and now everyone's mad at him because we don't have any picks left? Huh?
a potato GM could have kept the most loyal player in the NBA here.

His chemistry with Giannis in the 2 man game was what I really liked.

Hopefully the coaching staff and team takes SL a slight bit more seriously this year. Last year was a disorganized clown fiesta and kinda portended the year to come.
Ron Swanson wrote:I do think Sears and Markovic are the kind of players that are gonna be fun to watch/put up numbers in Vegas at the very least. Part of the reason our SL teams have been so brutal to watch in years past is that guys like Andre, Marjon, Livingston, and AJ were never the kind of players whose games/skill sets ever translated well on the court when they're asked to be the main offensive guys.
