I might agree with Fabtrey on this one, the workout people said Wiggins was 6'9 in shoes.

i have wiggins anywhere between 6ft 7 to 6ft 7 1/2. i really was hoping any of these kansas studs to show up at the combine. me disappoint.

withey was 7ft 1/2 with shoes. 1 3/4 inch lift.

I don't know all year it was presumed that Wiggins was 6'8, Parker was 6'8, and Embiid was 7'0 and the measurements came out and everybody had an extra inch.

Those original presumptions were for 17 and 18 year old kids.
it wouldnt be too surprising if they grew an inch between high school and college imo

he was never measured officially. it all depends on what kind of shoe he wore. remember all of these big 3 wants to be #1 pick. they would want to look taller and bigger to boost their chance. 7ft 1 embiid boosts his stock. 6ft 9 parker and wiggins too. if embiid came into combine and gets measured at 6ft 10 1/2 barefoot, that may hurt his stock. if parker came in 6ft 6 1/2 and overweight at 245lb, that hurts his stock.

looking tall matters. take a look.

true. i would say it's reasonable to assume 1/4 to 1/2 growth for a freshmen. anything more than 1inch growth would be noticeable. and something like that doesn't go quietly. if a player really grew than agents would pimp the growth. happens all the time.

anyway, i just really hate height measured in shoes. just look at jabari parker.
https://search.draftexpress.com/profile/Jabari-Parker-6299/

he was measured at 6ft 9 in shoe in 2011. and then gets measured at 6ft 8 in shoes 2 years later. lol
 
Parker, Wiggins, and Embiid are fudging, but the end result is it makes them harder to trade for. Their potential GMs will use it as leverage to try and take the barn, tractors, and cows from us.
 
with 6ft 8 barefoot vonleh. not a good angle.

bottom line - embiid is an impressive specifimen. 6ft 11 ish, 7ft 5+ wingspan, and only getting better. only concern is his health.
 
I used to rank Wiggins barely ahead of Jabari. But I think it's time to put Jabari at the top. I too wonder a little about Wiggins fire. He kinda comes off a little Ronnie Brewerish. Not say they are the same player. Just sorta the same personality.

I think Jabari will be the best player from this draft.

I always figured he'd figure out the diet thing out. Looks like he already has.

All I know about this is Jabari can ball for sure. I see no chance he doesn't live up to the hype.

With Wiggins and Embiid, all I really see is a lot of potential. I can't be sure what they are gonna be.

scout 2 is an idiot. embiid is not a true 7fter. hakeem was 6ft 10. so real difference between young hakeem and embiid is probably an inch at best.

anyway, health is a legitimate concern. just look at the 7fters around the league - bynum, oden, lopez, and bogut. it's a huge gamble.

wiggins - his lack of aggression is a huge concern. you want your #1 pick to be a ferocious tiger not a teddy bear. temperament is important in this league.

Don't know about Hakeem but:

Embiid is 7'1".

I work with a guy that is an Oklahoma State alum and he thinks Smart has not outside shot and no real shooting form either. If Horny were still here he could work with him but he might make Trey look like a pure shooter.

He's already been measured bra.

no combine
no barefoot

meh. go look at the jabari parker's measurement posted in draftexpress. measurement can change.

my estimate(barefoot)

embiid - 6ft 11 to 6ft 11 1/4
wiggins - 6ft 7 to 6ft 7 1/2
parker - 6ft 7 to 6ft 7 1/2

it can't be more than 1/4 inch just by looking at withey's head shape. and when i compare images, i also look at the shoulder level. this picture is pretty damn picture and no matter how you look at is embiid is closer to 6ft 11 than 7ft from this picture.

my conclusion - embiid is not a true 7fter.

Duncan comes across as aloof while wiggins come off as "I am ****ing scared" IMO. Still love him as a prospect, but wonder if he will ever reach more than half of his potential.

Ya, im a bit worried about his passiveness as well

Wiggins is overrated enough to drop to the Jazz at #5.

1. Parker
2. Embiid
3. Smart
4. Gordon
5. Wiggins
6. Vonleh
7. Some radon Euro
8. Julius Millsap
9. Stauskas
10. Saric

This is the order it should go.
