At the age of 16, three summers ago, Green measured 6 foot 4 without shoes, and 6 foot 5 in shoes. I think he has probably grown an inch since that time, so 6 foot 6 in shoes is most likely. However, he is still 180 pounds, and needs to put on extra weight to deal with the bigger shooting guards/small forwards he will be matching up with.
Why are you trying to use 3 year old high school measurements to guess what his height is now when there was literally a draft combine a couple of months back that measured every prospect with the same "official" standards? Who knows how that high school measurement was done, accurate it was, or whether they rounded up to make him look better as a prospect?
There's no combine measurement on Jalen Green. The top guys usually skip that. Whatever this 6"6 is, it likely isn't official. I feel like for the most part this is all irrelevant. No one cares what size someone is or isn't once the ball starts going through the net.
