Devin Booker’s true height?

getrichordie · Post #1 » by **getrichordie** » Wed Dec 19, 2018 7:55 am

I’m putting together a player profile on Devin Booker and wanted to get RealGM’s opinion on Booker’s height.

I know he’s listed @ 6’6 on most sites, but he looks closer to 6’4 in my opinion.

What do you guys think? Is there any evidence to support that he is actually 6’6 or is there evidence to support that he is shorter than that?

Also, feel free to share other players’ heights you think are inaccurately listed.

He looks a legit 6'6 imo maybe a inch or 2 taller

Definitely not 2 inches taller. That would make Booker about the same height as Josh Jackson.

You can’t be serious. Watching him play against Courtney Lee (6’5) tells me he can’t be taller than 6’5.

2 inches..... From the floor!!

Seriously though, they usually are always a tad generous with heights. So it's usually an inch or 2 less than what's listed.

He looks a legit 6’6 man. Maybe 6’7-8 I think he’s grown since 15’.

6' 4.5'' without shoes according to the combine and 6' 5.75'' with shoes.

This sounds more accurate and matches up with my eye test when watching Booker. I’d say Booker is probably 6’5 and that’s being slightly generous. When he’s playing McCollum (listed @ 6’3), he doesn’t look much, if at all, bigger than McCollum.

He was 6'4.5" barefoot at the draft combine in 2015, but it was said that he grew up a little bit more after that.

It makes sense because he was the youngest player in the league that season, so I would assume that he is NOW 6'5" barefoot and 6'6" with shoes.

I am a Suns fan and I watch every game. I think he is 6'6 (with shoes) for real. Not more, not less.

I believe it. 6’6 with shoes makes sense. Wouldn’t surprise me if he is something like 6’4.75. Would love it if they re-measured players during all-star break or before each season and published those measurements.

It’s crazy to think Rozier (6’2 at the combine) has the same wingspan as Booker (6’8.25).

Your sig still makes me feel like kicking my dog. :banghead:

That said before the draft he measured like 6"4.5 without shoes and 6"5.75 in shoes for Boston. After the draft and after his rookie year there was chatter of him still growing and coming in at something like just under 6"7

Bradley Beal is not 6’5 ».....he’s 6’2 or 6’3 tops

he was a fresh 18 year old then.. that sounded a bit weird

But apparently he has grown and would not be surprise if he is 6'5.5 without shoes and 6'6.5 with shoes

You know... there are actual predraft measurements available... you know that right? :roll:

Beal was 6'3.25 w/o shoes... He was the youngest player in the draft, so very likely he grew another half inch. So he is maybe a shade under 6'4 and about 6'5.5 with shoes "On court Height"

Booker was an inch taller than Beal then, and would assume the same now. Booker is about 6'5 w/o shoes and about 6'6.5 w/ shoes on the court. He is the same height as Justise Winslow

If that’s the case, he definitely hasn’t grown at all. Numerous times in photos and on court, he looks considerably smaller than players of similar listed height. Wall being one of them.
