Yeah, I thought RJ, Dot, DSJ and Trier would be about an inch shorter. Also MitchRob at 7-1 and Randle at a legit 6-9.
What makes this official?
Combine measurements are usually official. These heights look a little exaggerated across the board. You can probably take a half inch off for some, and a whole inch off for others. But still, we have a big team at the forward and center positions. Trier will be undersized at the 2. I doubt hes 6'5

Well....combine says 6'5.25 with shoes.....So I might be wrong....guess the heights are official. He plays so low to the ground.

Yep, that's why I'm presuming it's official, though someone said on realm that the weights are the same as last years, so I'm not sure now.
All the weights are rounded into 5 lb increments. Hmmmm
These can't be official. There are no changes to their listed heights from previous years. And they are supposed to be without shoes. I expect the real ones will be different and not rounded to the nearest inch.
Dotson has NEVER been 6-6. I don't think these are official without shoes measurements.
Zion is 6-6 without shoes according to the new measurements
Right, these are the real official heights- compare to the above to see who’s shrunk!

Dotson actually taller than Frank! That's surprising. I'm also pleasantly surprised Randle stays at 6'9". RJ at a legit 6'7" is also good. I'm assuming these measurements are in socks.
Thick socks.
I’m surprised that more players didn’t change heights - If Taj listed himself as 6’10” long ago he’d have probably made more money over his career!
(Figure most guys add 1.5” with shoes)
Very cool that RJ is still 6’7” probably not too far off Grant Hill or T Mac. Now he just needs to bring the game.
The Marc Berman article has the real information. Looks like players are officially listed as their height in socks plus one inch to account for sneakers. That way there is no variance based on what they wear for shoes. So Barrett at 6'7 (6'6 barefoot plus 1 inch) makes sense, as do most of the others. I'm surprised Knox is only 6'7 and Frank is only 6'4 though barefoot, if this is accurate.
I've always thought wingspan and standing reach were more important.
