You probably looked at draftexpress.

Does TJones look 6'9 to you? so you mean he is taller than LeBron?


You seriously look at him and say he's 6'6 or 6'7? Look at his size and height in the game, do you need glasses? :o


I see 6'7.5-6'8 tops. An inch either way really isn't that much of a difference to me just saying.

Btw, why don't you go and find out the articles on TJ's height. He was measured in at 6-9 / 249 / 7-2 (wingspan) in KD's camp in 2011.

Draftexpress is not the bible so to the speak; but the man is not 6'9.

TJones is not 6'9 sir!

Great game if you want to see exactly why Davis and Gilchrist are studs and Jones and Teague are bums.

I vote 6'8 for TJ and maybe 6'6 for MKG. Barnes was "measured" at 6'9 in that camp, and Darius Miller at 6'7, Rivers at 6'5.

Too small to be a SF at the next level

Say no to him please!


Where is this "Kidd-Gilchrist is 6'6" stuff coming from? He's a legit 6'7" with a 6'11 wingspan, prototypical size for a SF.

Can't believe some had Teague rated higher than Kabongo. Just rubbish.

Good measurement for a bench player,
Who is taller and longer James Johnson or MKG?

MKG is taller than JJ then?

MKG is 6'7" in shoes, JJ is 6'8" in shoes. MKG has a 6'11" wingspan, JJ has a 7'1" wingspan.

I'm abit surprised at the 6'9 from Barnes, I thought he's 6'8 legit. But it'll be interesting to know on draft combine, it reminds me of last year how bunch of us argued about Kanter being 6'11 or 6'9, or Kemba being 5'11 or 6'1.

Same, I don't really care if MKG is 6'6 or 6'7 or whatever, he plays a hard-nose SF style of game. Its' like how Kobe and VC can play SF when they're only 6''6. This is why I sometimes smh why Demar a legit 6'7 can't play like a SF :noway:
