Da_n......I posted about two weeks ago that I thought he'd be about 6'10 w/o shoes about now. When he entered the league he was measured at about 6'8.5 or 6'9 w/o shoes.

I figured if he was that length already, and that he was due for another growth spurt or two, that he might top off at close to 7ft. At this point he's already got the gifts to transform the 3 and/or 4.

If BI gets a respectable jumper, he and KD will be the only players in the league that can play 1 through 5.

Don't forget Giannis.

Kahwai can probably if he really needed.

Dray can guard all 5 and often plays facilitator in the half court.

Oh and the Lebron guy.

Giannis will never be able to play SG lol, thats why I made sure to include the respectable jumper comment.

But Ingram's jumper (granted rookie year) was nothing to be proud of.

Damn, 6'11" -- it's hard to see how someone that long could handle the ball so well. This is more proof that he is just a kid (still growing!) and we should be patient for the next couple years.

So basically the archetype for the modern NBA player.

In a poor man's sense I think you can add Ben Simmons and (to and even lesser degree) Kuzma to that list.

Do we know if Trudell was just sort of igniting the fan base with banter or really reporting something that was part of an initial measurement? Often times when you're real skinny adding some muscle makes you look taller.

So Ingram can develop a respectable jumper but Gianni's can't?

Keep Ingram right where he is at the 3.. people going "Play him at the 4 or 5 now" the kid is still under 220. Leave him where he's at.

I still believe he is under 200lbs, he seriously looks frail. Thank goodness for his length

KD
AD
BI
Greek Freak

All these players have the same archetype and are around 7 feet. If BI can get in this tier group as far as production and talent ... man oh man. Any others that should be added to that list being 6'11" or taller with the wingspan?

Ingram was at least projected to be a capable shooter coming out of college despite his rookie stats. Giannis has never really shown that aptitude, he's actually regressed since coming to the league.

You wouldn't want Giannis for Ingram? With another max and additional cap space you can build a young contending team. You could probably afford a Giannis/Lonzo/pg13/Brook or KCP group.

Jon Johnson debunked that Ben Simmons isn't 7 feet tall, the reason being is because he's just slightly under 7'0 as far back as April, as he's still growing, him being 6'11 now in September when he was barely under it prior is pretty darn plausible and likely true as has been reported.

He's definitely likely over 250 at this point as well

Trudell's comments on Ingram's height sometime after 28:00

Ingram hasn't been measured, but Trudell's saying he's at least 6'11 if not 7 feet.

Trudell talks more about Ingram's improvement after SL on his first step explosion, jumpshot, etc. There'll be a full interview vid coming out between the two sometime this week.

we gotta get official measurements or just quit this height-watch stuff. Literally every young player gets that rumor, and I start every other one.. I'm disappoint.
