Beasley is the shortest 6'10 guy I ever seen.
He's tall enough--who cares if your 6-10 or 6-8.5--what does it really matter? Did it affect him pulling down 16 rebounds or getting his shot at will?
Yeah but he is a liar.
6'7" without shoes. He's a "PSF"- a power small forward. His size, and the fact that his D has been less than stellar at times is why he was shoved to the bench and not playing the PF position he was drafted to play. The guy has some offensive tools, though.
I assume that we can blame high schools and colleges for lying about the heights of their players. I expect that we will find that B. Griffin is far from his listed height of 6'10" when he is actually measured. I also expect to find out that a lot of the PGs in this draft are at least 2" smaller than their program listed heights.
There should be some kind of "truth in advertising height law" instituted in the college game.
