He's looked shorter than almost all players I've seen listed at 6'11". Still, as said, it's the wing span and standing reach that matters. Dudes got reach you mostly see out of somebody 7 ft+. He also has a pretty low center of gravity which gives him a much stronger base.



Agree

Cousins, from what i saw, is shorter than the other 6'11" players.

Monroe standing right next to Cousins is clearly one or two inches taller


I can't see the second image but the first image is misleading.



U cant see the secind image ??? try this link: http://cache1.asset-cache.net/xc/109285 ... 0B0D811297


Monroe and Cousins were standing next to each other. Monroe is at least one inch(maybe 2 inches??) taller than Cousins


There is no way Cousins is taller than 6'10"

These pictures are useless. Has anyone heard of posture?

when u look at http://cache1.asset-cache.net/xc/109285 ... 0B0D811297


there is a clear 2-3 inches difference in height

Posture matters, but it shouldnt matter that much when both players are supposed to have the same height, n standing straight next to each other

Cousins doesnt look tall compared to the other 6'11" either, not just monroe. I'll be very surprised if Cousins is any taller than 6'10" anyway

Learn to post pictures? Seriously. This is like your fifth attempt and you have failed every time.


Regardless. Both players are close enough in terms of height.

At that point, an inch or two makes absolutely no difference. Cousins is undersized? Name me 10 pf/c's that are both taller and bigger than him. And compared to Monroe's height...why does it matter. Cousins is a better rebounder and offensive player than Monroe. Okay. Monroe might be "taller", but so what...

What???

I think posters above like SacKingZZZ have said that Cousins is not a real 6'11" player

Cousins is like at least 1 inch shorter than most 6'11" in the league , and u can easily tell in his matchup against other centers. And even against Monroe, he looks like few inches shorter during the games. I dunno if Monroe is a good comparison, but they're from the same draft class and oftne play h-2-h against each other in the past

i doubt he's any taller than 6'10" anyway.

Comparing him to some other listed 6'11" players he looks shorter, but as said, Cousins is still "bigger" and plays much bigger than most others. Monroe doesn't have near the length that Cousins has and Cousins plays much bigger than him because of it. Cousins kind of reminds me of a C sized Ron Artest build wise. Similar body type with that strong low center of gravity, super long arms, and GREAT hands.
