If KAT is 7'0" in shoes, Embiid has got to be 7'3". It's ridiculous how much bigger he is than Towns. And were they trash talking in the clip?

Its starting to make me wonder, is that accurate on KAT.....cause Embiid's eye level is literally at the top of KAT's head.

With shoes on that would put Embiid between 7'3" and closer to 7'4". Embiid's forehead has to be 4" inches.

kat is not a 7 footer...i think ben simmons is taller than kat.

7'2 is what embiid says he is and who could know it better?

Yeah there is absolutely no way in a million years that KAT is 7ft. I've always thought he was shorter that he claimed.

Even when you put Simmons side by side next to Adam Silver you can see his eyeline is above where KAT's is.

Sounds about right, I remember the pic with Simmons and KAT.

Guess KAT really wants to be a center, and being 6'9" would be bad for that.

This jumped out at me from the post draft photo in 2015 when he was next to Porzingis.

That's real interesting to me, even Okafor is taller than KAT.

Everyone better fall in line and do what he says.

We actually have barefoot measurements of Okafor and KAT so there really isn't any debate to how tall they are unless the theory is that they have grown since they were drafted.

KAT is 6'10.25 barefoot, and Embiid is supposedly 7'2 in sandals. So we are left to wonder how tall he actually is barefoot, but he is probably at least 7'1 barefoot which would mean that he is 2.75 inches taller than KAT.

From the photo of him next to KAT I think that about 3 inches seems to be accurate.

I think that Porzingis was measured barefoot at 7'1.25, and I want to see a photo of Embiid next to Porzingis to compare them.

Myles Turner looks taller,too. Kaminsky is supposed to be 7'0" but he looks way taller than KAT.

If KAT really is 6'10.25 barefoot then that takes a lot of shine off his potential in my opinion. It's like finding out my girlfriend has fake tits.

All this time he was claiming be a nimble 7 footer... now he appears to be an average moving 6ft 10 dude that doesn't have the speed and agility to be a forward. Simmons looks taller and is about twice as quick and athletic.

Newsflash. Hardly any players who aren't listed as 7 footers are 7 foot. Dwight Howard has been said to be a 7 footer for years but he's 6'9. Olajuwon was said to be a 7 footer. He's 6'10. I can go on and on. KAT will still be a beast. Him being 6'10 takes nothing from his potential. We see what he does on the court. He's a beast.

KAT? He's like Kenyon Martin to me on defense. He's not long enough to be a defensive anchor or atleast cover a lot of space so he makes up for it with his quickness/athleticism that may lead to fouls and bad gambles. I dont know if i make sense. Haha

How do you get to be the level of fan that posts on message boards and not be aware of draft express and their measurements?

If the measurements exist they are posted with every prospect. There is no mystery for most prospects because they have barefoot measurements. The only problems are with people like Embiid that skip the combine and no measurements are ever published without shoes.

Search through draft express and you will see barefoot measurements of most of the players in the NBA and you quickly learn how much BS there is in listed heights.

Kenyon Martin was a natural shot blocker though, and Towns isn't. KAT is a superstar on offense, and pedestrian on defense, especially when he is played at the 5.

Same height or within half an inch of Whiteside, Adams, Vucevic, etc. Most players are not listed at barefoot height.

We talkin about practice? Practice man, practice, not the game, practice man.......

He's probably going at like 40% which is why it looks like that. Come gametime, who knows if those landings change.
