Apparently, he's basically a 7 footer now. Source: Link |

If he had a jump shot as his arsenal he would have unlimited potential. |

This changes nothing. What people really want to see is if he can ball in the pros and we never saw that this year. |

Why? That's Giannis/KD height. _________________ A banana is killed every time a terrible thread or post is made. Save the bananas. Stop creating terrible posts! |

Not to mention NBA positions in todays game are more fluid than ever. They aren't strictly defined by height anymore...we have 6 ft 11 "centers" and 7 ft 3 players that play like SG's.... |

Yes Giannis and Durant are still incredibly good and I dont anyone ever said "I think they'd be even better if they were 2 inches shorter" and there's no saying Ben cant be the same but I still think 6'10 would be the ideal height for most "drive from the perimeter" type forwards. _________________ (bleep) Kawhi |

"7 foot" in the NBA is 6'10" so don't see the big deal. He was probably a legit 6'8.5" before. |

Ben's only 20 years old. Men have been known to grow until age 25. My concern is, if he's still growing how will it affect his overall health and stamina?
Will his bones be brittle. Will his organs function properly. Do they continue to develop? He's already missing his first year because of injury. The Philly curse in full affect. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
