Blake Griffin is 6-9 in socks

Is there an echo in here?

Interesting info…is there any info on wingspans of the players, or will that come later on?

Question: What kind of bear is best?

Dunno what happened.

Only pasted once that I know of. Mah bad.

It will come ...

… at Chicago, end of the month. Although Blair’s wingspan has been mentioned as mammoth for a short guy.

I wouldn't be shocked if Griffin's height is 6'8 1/2

And his arm length is roughly that of a guy 6’7 or 6’8.

always the optomist pookey

maybe, it will be rubio’s height that is off a few inches and he’s really 6-0, due to scout’s inability to convert centimeters to inches. And his arm length is that of a 15 year old girl.

Maybe he is a 15 year-old girl… there is that hair….

LOL Citadel

I always prefer to hold off anymore until I know the heights of these guys with their wingspan.

Maybe he has long feet and thus a great standing reach on his tipsy-toes

If he's legit 6-9 in socks

That would mean about 6’10 in shoes, which means 7’1" by NBA standards. I don’t think that’ll be the case, but maybe he’s a little taller than skeptics (myself included) figured,

reevaluations

funny how that “little bit taller” can make a big difference between legit PF and pretender.

by Citadel 29 on May 18, 2009 1:04 PM PDT up reply actions

Look at the McDonalds All American tape

He is clearly taller than Beasley. He’s not 6’ 7’’ pretending to be a power forward. At least as big as Love but ten times more athletic.

At least Al Davis isn't running my team's drafts.

Love's 6'9"

I had no worries in him.

Love measured at 6'-7.75" with out socks.

Thick shoes put him at 6’-9.25". And doesn’t Love prove that it doesn’t really if your are undersized, a rebounder is a rebounder.

Love isn't athletic either

And he’s an excellent rebounder at the NBA level already. He’s also a very good passer.

I hope Houck is pronounced Hawk.

That’s how I read it.

by propane on May 18, 2009 12:28 PM PDT reply actions

But how thick were the socks?

and how recently had he shaved his head?

Right

If they were camping socks, I want an inch-by-inch recount.

And how many pairs of socks?

My thoughts exactly...

I mean, there’s a difference between hiking socks and women’s “footies”…er, I mean, I’ve heard that there is, anyway.

Just a reminder

6-9 ain’t bad. In fact, at 6-9 Griffin would be taller than the average NBA

It's not a question of his height

It’s his length.
