6'8-6'9 240 is closer to the truth and 6'8 210 is generous for Childress. 6'7 200lbs I'd guess is closer to the truth.

I've looked at a lot of sites. None that I've seen say anything other than 6-8. There is dramatic variation in weight, from as low as 203 to 245. I'm almost certain that he was under 210 when he first came to the NBA, but obviously he has put on weight since then.

This is sooooo true. There was a game we tried this earlier in the season and Chilly even ran the pnr with nash very well. He is so skilled around the rim and has a quick first and second jump. Instead of dunking over people he will most likely be smart and go around them etc. Wouldn't be as flashy as Amare/Warrick but who the hell cares? Give me

Nash/VC/Hill/Jchill/Lopez at the beginning
Nash/Dragic/Dudley/Frye/Gortat towards the end of Q1
Dragic/VC/Dudley/Frye/Gortat as the 2nd unit

or just go with

Nash/VC/Hill/Jchill/Lopez
Dragic/Pietrus/Dudley/Frye/Gortat

edit Los Soles already mentioned the pnr thing

Diaw 6-8; 215
Childress 6-8; 210


It's not fair to include afros in weigh-ins though.

I don't know about Chilly's passing but he surely goes after offensive rebounds with a will

that's a nice thing to have
