Very disappointed that Chris Boucher is still 200 lbs. Not gonna cut if for a PF/C. That's a SG weight.

Boucher NEEDS to get bigger. There's a reason his nickname is 'Slim Duck' and I don't think it has to do with anything good. lol If he can utilize his skills at a heavier weight, he'll be a bit better as a player, especially when rebounding and scoring in the paint.

Marc Gasol with the good ol' summer gaining 10 lbs of muscle.

Marc Gasol having a championship summer babyy!

He's actually probably in great shape after spending nearly 2 months playing with Spain over the summer.

[Indeed]

Without shoes.
Probably the reason of the difference between the previous measurement.

BOUCHER WILL NEVER GET BIGGER. That is his frame/size for the rest of his career. The player you want him to be isin't going to happen but that doesn't mean he can't be effective.

Boucher is a 3pt shooter/shot blocker. He's not a positional rebounder but he can use his length to get boards. He's the fastest runner on the team for his size and he looks to run every play. He'll most likely never be a starter in this league and won't win every match up but he brings energy and scoring which is exactly what you want off the bench.

When we look at bench players, you will rarely find all around players unless they are young and developing. Every bench player has disadvantages. Its the coaches job to have them excel with their advantages.

Keon Clark was a druggy but he had the same frame as Boucher in a league that use to be all about size. If Keon Clark played in this era, he'd be much more successful. No reason why Boucher can't be successful now. Just needs the playing time to get comfortable.

Not sure how anyone could call McCaw 6'7 when it was pretty obvious he's 6'5 or under. Whats really concerning is that he's 181lbs?!!

No wonder he's hurt all the time....

[Tor_Raps]

Surprised that FVV is the same height as Lowry. Weight is almost identical too.

Well I hope he'll be successful for this team but honestly, I'm not high on him at all. I hope he proves me wrong.

Guy is 26 years old - chances of him growing an significant amount of muscle weight at this point is pretty slim (like him).

Still think he is better used as a forward than a C; his weight will matter less.

[PhilBlackson]

Fred musta had inserts in his socks.

[MadDogSHWA]

I think it's great the league is doing this.

[tor1234567]

Fred is 6 feet tall?

No way.

Are they conducting these measurements in a strict manner?

I can see him fudging these numbers in a contract year.

They have to be certified for the league so I'm sure there are penalties if they find the numbers are fudged.

Boucher is miscast if you look at him as a PF or C. His game and body shape makes him more of a SF. His body type reminds me of KD. He has a bit of handle and has outside shooting...play him at the 3/4.

[TheBoi10]

Fred is like 5'10

[traps#10]

I always thought that the Raptors should train/use Boucher as a SF like Kevin Durant. He’s too light and skinny to play PF/C imo.

[everdiso]

Old measures were surprisingly accurate.

Cool to see Boucher was actual underheighted before.

[gojoorange]

Apparently these are rounded down. So I think Fred is actually above 6'0". The NBA is putting strict guidelines on how to get measurements.
