It is ridiculous...The NBA needs to correct that...Guys that are overweight are being reported to be much smaller, and guys who are short are being reported to be at least two inches taller

the player's association is where the problem is...They are not being properly run...

as far as height and weight it's these agents. they lie about these things to hype their player up and sell this to media. many of these writers out here do not care whether their story is accurate or not. next thing you know the player is measured at his true height and weight and it's a big suprise to those who swear by the papers.

I agree about that...That is why I want a guy like Frye in N.Y. I don't give a damn about the fact that he is not a true 6'11 or 7', I know that he can play and most of all can provide something that we don't have...Draft Frye and deal for Petro if he is not there at 30.

here's a shocker for you - Duncan is only 6'10" in socks! You know what? It doesn't matter! Everyone plays with their shoes on!

the NBA doesnt care about 2 inches. Only maniacal fans

Ewing was 7 foot.

Here is the latest on Frye....



Frye is draft's high-riser

A few months ago scouts were talking about Arizona's Channing Frye as a late first-round pick.
A few weeks ago, they dramatically changed course, calling him a likely top-10 pick in the NBA draft.

How could he rise so high in such a short time? I went back to Tim Grover's ATTACK Athletics facility on Friday morning to see for myself.

Frye simply looked awesome. He's put on 10 pounds of muscle since he started training with Grover. Most of it is in his shoulders and chest. Now weighing a legit 260 and measuring 6-foot-11 in shoes, Frye looks like a center.

On the court, he was even more impressive. He's improved his explosiveness the past few months and is now springing off the floor. Laterally, he's very quick and moves effortlessly around the court.

He showed off an impressive array of basketball skills. He has an excellent jump shot and has extended his range out to the college 3-point line. He gets great lift on his jumper and should be murder on the pick and pop. He's especially impressive with his accuracy on step-backs and fadeaways.

Frye has a soft touch around the basket. He also showed some great footwork. He used his quickness to spin away from defenders on the baseline and also showed a nice little baby hook.

The bottom line is that he should be able to score in the League.

Whatever knocks there are against Frye weren't evident in his workout. Scouts have questioned the toughness and aggressiveness Frye displayed at Arizona. I think he dispelled some of that in the NCAA Tournament.

Any team that brings him in for a workout will be impressed. Frye's agent, Rob Pelinka, is being very selective about the teams Frye works out for.

For NBA teams looking for a skilled, athletic big man with shot-blocking skills, they're not going to get a prospect better than Frye. That's why he's moved up to the top 10. It's tough to imagine the Knicks, Warriors and Lakers all passing on him.

Deke is 7'3

You must be referring to his wing span....Zeke is a true 6'11/7'
