Trillion times better chance he was measured at 6-5.5 very early morning.
If I was Rob I wouldn't automatically assume he measured 6-6 when he was 6-5 just a year ago.
Zero chance he's 6-6. At best 6-5.5 and rounded up

Only the Sixers have given out REAL measurements.
So the rest should be taken with a grain of salt.
So much for transparency from the NBA!!

It's an even bigger debate now because a lot of these guys did not get measured.
Or they "Say" they got measured but all they did was give a 1 inch downgrade but did not actually measure.
Jimmy Butler is obviously nowhere close to 6-7 when he's 6-5 range.
Now I think this casts doubt on Zion ever measuring 6-6.
Starting to think they just downgraded him and didn't measure, which makes sense.
An early bloomer like him didn't grow out of high school.
He's 6-5. He clearly looks over an inch shorter than 6-6.5 Cam Reddish

@Viper: interesting because Gibson was a 2009 draftee. Early morning so he likely wasn’t higher than 6’8” and was almost 24 years old. Odd that he would’ve grown taller. I’m wondering if that’s a discrepancy and he’s not really just 6’8” still

@Viper: I’ve seen guys like Romeo Langford get measured at 6’4.5” at the combine and listed 6’4” in the NBA now after the new measurement. So the real question is was the combine early AM and some teams later in the day? Or were they the same and they rounded down? Or were some just overlisted? I’ve seen some guys lower or higher than their combine measurements. Taj Gibson will now be listed 6’10”. Not sure how he measured that high because he was 6’8.25 when he was drafted. Maybe he grew 1” plus morning height = 6’9.75”?

@Viper: this is all odd. I see Buddy Hield is now listed at 6’3”. I expected him at a low to be about that. But if they measured him in the AM it is very odd. And for Draymond I’m surprised that he’s listed 6’5”. I would’ve expected it early morning to get a 6’6” listing since he’d prob be 6’5.5”. Draymond May just be a weak 6’5”? Wow

The thing with guys in the NBA is that they have tall bodies. What I mean is that even if Zion is only 6'6, the height of his shoulders is probably as tall as most people who are 6'7, and then these guys are long. So, functionally speaking, Zion is 6'7 to 6'8. There is actual height, and there is functional height. Draymond Green's functional height in the NBA is 6'7 because his Standing Reach is equal to most guys 5 inches taller than him. So even if he only stands at 6'5, you are basically playing against a guy who is 6'7 because of his length and Standing Reach. As high as Zion can jump and as big as he is, it is like playing against someone 6'7.

@Manson: that may be the case with Harris. He does look only a couple inches shorter than Simmons. What’s really odd is that Embiid towers Simmons in some pics yet they’re only 2.25” apart? I thought Embiid was a legit 7’0” but turns out he’s probably just a solid or strong 6’11” in reality (afternoon)

Ben Simmons measurement is surprising. I would’ve expected max 6’9” for a morning height (6’8-6’8.5). That’s not to say these measurements are the holy grail tho.

Shane gray tobias harris measured 6.6 1/2 in the combine at age 19. it is very possible that he grow 1 inch or that the combine was afternoon. Tobias harris is a legit 6.7 afternoon.

@Canson: yep! Not sure I'm being that 1.5 inch change although someone that tall could compress that much. That would be the only chance unless he grew after age 20. But then we are talking him getting measured at an absolutely low before which is doubtful.
Will be interesting to see if all teams report to the quarter of an inch like Sixers did today. And even then with no nba rep we dont know how reliable they are.
Tobias Harris is up 1.25 inches from his combine. He was 6'6 1/4" then and listed 6'9". My guess is he asked his trainer to get him 6'7 1/2" to at least stay at 6'8". Non players dont realize how important these listings can be for players like u and I do. Most of veteran Sixers were a little higher than their combine listings.
And again, until if and when Pelicans release specifics (like sixers), we wont know if this was rounded up or not. We still domt really kmow.

@Shane: holy crap! You were right. I apologize. He did measure 7’1.25”. Don’t know why I thought it was 7’1.75 lol. I can see him possibly having grown a touch but if not it really is true that guys in that range lose more height than average. It could also mean that he was measured almost immediately out of bed being they do sleep at the facility where camp is held as opposed to an hour after waking

@Ellis: I don’t buy the measurement. His Hair would prob make him taller. He could hit 6’6 out of bed but not after an hour. Maybe even rounded up to 6’6”. He looks in all honesty a strong 6’5” at best. Viper is right on this one. Cam Reddish is at least an inch or 1.5 taller. Reddish has thick hair too but I’m curious to see what his measurement comes out at. If it’s higher than 6’6.5 then his combine measurement may have been afternoon. If it’s the same it means it was morning

@Rob: not just room. Too much freedom. I agree with Viper. Also to note it’s funny how we always see “He’s shorter than he’s listed at Duke”. People oughta know by now that basketball measurements are in sneakers and some even a bit higher. It’s funny when someone is listed at 6’7” people actually believe they are. I have yet to meet s player who was at or below their listing. Absolute Best case is 1/2” to 1” off on college or pro listings. Some as much as 3” plus. One college teammate of mine was listed 6’3 in high school then 6’3” at college for a while his freshman year before getting a 6’2” listing the remainder of his career. He’s 5’11” and a half at best barefoot and all of us knew it even before he was measured

@Junior: 6’5.5 would be more like it max If it were valid. You don’t lose just 1/4” from 1 hour out of bed. That would be 3/8” to half. Remember measurements for the NBA aren’t 1/8” so that could easily be 6’5.8 since they would round up. You also have to remember how thick his hair is. I would bet tons of money maybe even thousands of dollar that you are taller than Zion Williamson. You may be up to 1/2” taller in all honesty. He doesn’t look that tall. He looks 6’5” still. Maybe 6’5.25. The real test will be when Cam Reddish is measured. Cam was 6’6.5 at the combine and Zion is a lot shorter than him

@Shane: lol is what I said too. I bet Ingram measures 6’8.5 or .75 and gets the 6’9” listing since they round up tho because it’s early morning. I always felt he was 6’8” afternoon height. Lonzo I feel would measure 6’5” or a hair over. I feel he’s 6’4.5ish afternoon. They do 1/4” increments tho because Luka got 6’6.75”. I feel he would be 6’6” flat afternoon as he looked half inch shorter than Harrison Barnes who would be more 6’6.5

The measurements that they are getting for these players are the same as the combine measurements. Example is JJ Barea. He was 5’10” at the combine just like he was here. So early morning measurements of course. But I have to give Rising credit because he guessed Porzingis at 7’1.75 for his normal height (afternoon) based on how he looked with Carmelo and he was right. 7’2.75 would be early morning

@Rob: Shane said this about as well as I’ve heard anyone say it. And it wasn’t at 10-11 am because the reporter tweeted it at 951 am. It was likely an early morning measurement just like the combines. Take into account his thick hair, and 6’5.5 that you had him listed before is a much better listing than 6’5.75” that he’s listed now. That was actually generous. I guarantee if you measured him in the afternoon and were able to get around his thick hair, he would be closer to 6’5” than 6’6”.

Editor RobThere is a bit of room on these measurements for time of day/hairstyles, if it was 9-10 then yeah there is a greater chance of 6ft 5.5-5.75 rather than 5.75-6 as a lunch height.

Also in photo below JRue is listed 6'4" obviously much shorter. So far all the new measurements are easily above combine barefoot heights so this is going to be a joke @Canson.

@Canson not big on photos for height but this one is pretty good and Zion stacks up well here. This versus formerly listed 6'6" Ball and 6'9" Ingram. He looks as tall as Ingram for sure and easily taller than Ball.

Zion reportedly just got measured at 6'6" flat with new NBA height policy. This leaves more questions than answers with no nba rep there. Obviously if accurate it is an early morning height. But with full inch increments this could have been 6'5 1/2" and rounded up. Teams did their own reporting so we really dont know. And they measured in socks so who knows how many socks were on, if lifts were in socks that are made now or what. If nba wants these to be accurate they need to do four things: measure them with their own NBA rep, use quarter inch increments, take off socks and measure each team at same time of day.

Zion weighed 272 pounds when he was measured at 6-5 at 17.
Yeah, I'm gonna bet a lot of money he was at full growth easily by then and not lose sleep that I'm wrong.
I'd bet money he reached full height by 15.

You realize this guy is the last guy to grow past 15 with how physically developed he is. It's pretty much all the late bloomers who grow from 18 into early 20s.
I'm willing to bet the Rock reached full height at 14 like Rob.

@Ellis: but to Viper’s credit, he looked 6’5” on the court. And Cam Reddish measured the same thing his senior year and didn’t grow. He was 6’6.5” back then. And also how do we know that the 6’5” wasn’t a morning measurement back then? 6’5.25 at a low is possible but 6’5.5” at a low he doesn’t look. That’s a weak 6’6” like Kawhi Leonard would measure (6’5 1/2). He doesn’t look as tall as Kawhi imho. More like Draymond Green

@Ellis: Derozan I would say is 6’5” flat: he was 6’5 1/2” at the combine. Maybe that was more 6’5 3/8” but he generally looks 6’5”. Brown was 6’5.25. You have to remember too that there are all 1/4” 1/2” and full. No 1/8” increments

Zion measured a flat 6-5 his senior year of high school.
So how can he be 6-5.25 at a low

@Ellis: Reddish measured 6’6.5 and that was likely a morning measurement. I don’t get your logic with Zion being listed 6’7”.’Jaylen Brown was measured 6’5.25 in the morning (likely a sub 6’5) and he’s listed 6’7” still. Draymond is said to only be 6’5” and he’s listed 6’7”. Zion measured a flat 6’5 previously and was listed 6’7”. They aren’t gonna change it given the barefoot measurement is absent here at the combine. They will leave it the way it is. There are guys who are 2+ or 3” from their afternoon barefoot heights. Jimmy butler is now listed 6’8 he’s 6’5” range. Prob low 6’5”

@Canson: I doubt that Cam Reddish is 6'6 or a hair over it at a low, not saying that it is impossible, but very unlikely. If you could prove it to me then I would believe it, but Reddish always struck me as a strong 6'6 guy, like 6'6.5 at a low, I was gonna say 6'6.75 but that would be impossible because he got 6'6.5 at the combine. Zion is like 6'5.25 at a low, meet me there maybe?, but just 6'5 nothing, come on, he should be listed at 6'6 then. Just curious, what do you think about guys that got 6'5.25 at the combine, like Demar Derozan, or Jaylen Brown, do you reckon that they are a high 6'4 at a low?

Anyways, Zion Williamson is 6'5.5 at a low, I'm 95% positive.
Yea he meant me.
As for Zion, how can we be so sure? He only measured 6’5” previously and he’s more than just half inch shorter than Cam Reddish. In fact it looks 1-1.5”. I’d bet money Reddish is 6’6” or a hair over at a low. There was also talk that he was only 6’5” when he was drafted

@Shane: 6’5.5 still seems too high imho. Maybe he’s a strong 6’5” guy at a low like Christian is (6’6” out of bed) and 6’5.25” but really he just looks a straight 6’5” at a low with Cam Reddish or max (196cm which is 6’5 1/8”). I know boiling to 1/8” is a bit much but it’s just to say he looks closer to 6’5 than 6’6”. Reddish looks at least an inch taller and he’s probably just 6’6” afternoon height
Standing up as far as he is means he’s not standing back as far in the pic as Zion. Maybe it’s an inch but I would’ve said probably half to 3/4”

@Ellis In your photo Alexander on the left measured 6'4 1/4" barefoot this year which was likely early in morning. If so, we are talking 6'3 3/4" range afternoon maybe 6'3 7/8" max. While Zion is closer to camera, he look to have 1.5 inches on Alexander. However, Zion is closer to camera and being even slightly closer to camera can make a guy look a lot taller. So perhaps there isnt near the height difference it seems. Hard to tell. As for guy on right, that is Hayes who measured 6'10 1/4" this year and also likely early in morning. So afternoon at that height likely 6'9 3/4" and no more. He is also a bit further from camera than Zion. Hard to tell top of head with both having lots of hair but trying to gauge that or using eye level there is 4 inches or so there. Maybe more at top of head but I dont see over 4 at eye level I don't think. Anyhow, this photo is pretty good for someone pushing Zion at at least 6'5 1/2" BUT does have a slight camera advantage. I will say 6'5 1/2" afternoon might be more possible than I previously thought. Maybe.

@Ellis what do you mean by standing up as far as he is? I don't understand what that means. And Lonzo definitely isn't standing up straight there. That said, Zion looks to easily have an inch on Zo there. No doubt about it. And I have Zion at maybe 6'5 1/4" by this site's afternoon standard.

Based on Lonzo standing up as far as he is and the difference between them, I think 0.5” is the max I could see between them. Even with it at face value it’s max 2cm

@Canson: Lonzo took a picture with him at the New Orleans Saints Football Opener
I’ve never seen it. Do you have the link? But for me, I still don’t have Zion over 6’5 maybe at a stretch 6’5.25”. His 6’5” measurement from 2018 seems what he would still measure today. Lonzo’s height is debatable too as he doesn’t look any taller than 6’4.5” and at times can look as low as 6’4 perhaps although other times 6’5 but that’s rare. He’s probably a 6’4” range guy

I'm obsessed with whether this dude is 6'7" or 6'6". In my mind, 6'7" is okay for an NBA Forward, but 6'6" is too small. :) If he's 6'5.5" in his socks, that would make him 3/4 inch taller than 6'4.75" Michael Jordan, who is a fine standard for the NBA "6'6"" level, and thus I can sleep well accepting that he is 6'7".

@Canson: Definitely at least a 4 inch difference between the two, but not much more. Anthony Davis is around 6'9.75 at a low for me, considering his head size is probably bigger than the average human, where 4 inches is for the average human it is probably a bit more for Davis. In my opinion considering Davis is 6'9.75, Zion is looking anything from 6'5.25-75 at a low. 6'5 at a low seems way to low to me, have you seen him with Lonzo Ball? Looks to be more than just a half inch difference.
I looked at the video again and I agree with Shane. I haven’t seen him with Zion but I have with Reddish and he’s not as tall as Cam. Assuming Cam may be a morning height he’s at least an inch shorter than Cam

Just saw the NBA rookie day pictures, and I think Rob got this one spot on. Zion looks more than 6'5, he looks to almost have a 6'6 frame. 6'5.5 at a low is spot on, and I'll explain why, he took a picture with 6'10.25 Jaxson Hayes, and Hayes clearly cannot see over Williamson. The pictures given are kinda hard to clarify where exactly it is but I'd guess between 4-4.5 inch difference. The 2019 combine must have been in the morning, because, given Williamson is 6'5.5 Jaxson Hayes would not be a guy over 6'10, he looks 6'9.5 to 6'9.75 with him. Williamson would have probably gotten a bit below 6'6 at the combine, I'm starting to get the feeling that he is taller than RJ Barrett.

He is really well built and looks his height,of course the 6ft7 was a morning measurement with shoes and as @CANSON said everybody in these days and age knows that lying on bed before measurements will make you a little taller so the 6ft7 was definitely a morning measurement with shoes between i was surprised to know that he was born in 2000 he looks more matured.

To be fair, many boys at 17 don't completely stop growing. I know you stopped early at 16 if I'm not mistaken, but I stopped at 19. Zion measured 6'5" and could've grown a bit since his measurement, but of course it was most likely a morning measurement, meaning around 6'4.5" at his low.

Canson said on 16/Jul/19
@Shane: this year in particular I’m not sure if there was any method to the madness with the measurements. I heard some were day 1 others day 2 and maybe day 3. I think at this stage most people know laying around makes you taller so if money is on the line it won’t surprise me if they do it even later in the day. But to be fair, I saw the link below where you commented too and I believe everyone on the thread suspected that he didn’t measure (Zion) possibly because he knew he wasn’t as tall as he’s listed. May have really had to do with his weight in correlation with a 6’5 measurement or earlier in the day maybe 6’5.5 or .75. But Not that it really would’ve affected the draft status tho because he was unanimous number 1. I also agree with what you said to me before that the measurements this year closely align with college measurements or listings so that is further validated. Zion at a morning height may have come out close to 6’7” or right at 6’7” in sneaks if he got a 6’5.75 listing barefoot with a 1.25” sneaker. But had that been the 6’5.5 maybe a bit less. I will say that it may have been other portions of the measurement that he was uncertain about such as wingspan or weight that may have raised eyebrows. Most people probably already knew he wasn’t quite 6’7”. At least those who know how it works
@Shane: this year in particular I’m not sure if there was any method to the madness with the measurements. I heard some were day 1 others day 2 and maybe day 3. I think at this stage most people know laying around makes you taller so if money is on the line it won’t surprise me if they do it even later in the day. But to be fair, I saw the link below where you commented too and I believe everyone on the thread suspected that he didn’t measure (Zion) possibly because he knew he wasn’t as tall as he’s listed. May have really had to do with his weight in correlation with a 6’5 measurement or earlier in the day maybe 6’5.5 or .75.

@Duhon: well, if his listed height is his barefoot height that is truly a rarity for one. Secondly, the photo with Kobe seems decent but not great. Francis is slightly closer to the camera which can make a significant difference in photos. Secondly, Kobe is slouching noticeably so no not sure this photo helps all that much. I'd have to see more photos to get a better idea, not that it's a terrible picture for getting an idea. It just isnt ideal.

@Viper: oddly enough I measured myself after hitting the gym yesterday and I’m barely over 6’4” now. Looked around max 6’4 1/8 as it was quick and dirty but that’s usually how I measure with that particular tape measure unless I’m looking for precision. I look to see how far above 76” I am. I’m gonna try it again because not sure if I wasn’t standing straight due to my back because I was still about 6’4.25 a month ago. I am going to try again tomorrow to verify tho but at almost 37 and a half I may have lost height as I was right around 194 at my peak

They look about the same Jackson. Barrett’s Head is just not the same size. But they both look an inch shorter than Cam reddish. I would say Reddish May be a morning measurement or not a low and he may only be 6’6” or 6’6.25. Zion may be 6’5 or 6’5.25. I doubt he’s under 6’5 tho now that I see that

@Canson I ran numbers the last few drafts comparing college listings (college site and ESPN for every player at minimum) versus combine no shoes and combine shoes. This year more player measurements were closer to college listings than any year I have tracked. Other years a good number more guys came up short. Thus, these were no doubt morning measurements again if numbers released later.

@Ellis: it’s unclear as to when he got it. But even an afternoon measurement doesn’t rule out him being at a morning height if he laid down before. Kevin Love is an example. People who’ve met him say he’s 6’7” in person and he and Lebron look about the same height. Reddish is definitely over 6’6 but don’t know if 6’6.5 is his low. He’s definitely over an inch taller than Zion however. Zion best case imho 6’5.25 afternoon height but really doesn’t look above 6’5” flat

@NBAfan: actually I have heard of the other players and am familiar with them. And you clearly see that Viper just said below that one of the ones you’re referring to is 6’6.5 Cam Reddish. Reddish was actually measured and Zion is clearly much shorter than him. That’s if the pre draft measurements are true afternoon measurements which is what Celebheights is based on. And even if you do base off that, the 6’5.75 is hard to come by. You would simply estimate 6’6 or 6’5 maybe 6’5.5 next to someone else. Again my estimate is 6’5” as that’s what he measured Before

You can compare with people that are in the same height range, not with a 7 6 foot dude

Depending on how early Reddish’s measurement was at the combine it’s possible Zion is a weak 6’5” although he does look a solid 6’5 on the court a lot. Reddish also measured 6’6.5 at the Olympics so I’m assuming he’s around there

@Viper: I was wrong. Maybe afternoon measurements the first day. But not sure about the 2nd. They were posted early in the afternoon so they had already occurred. Reddish’s Case is odd. I saw 6’6.5 barefoot and 6’8 in shoes then 6’6.5 in shoes. I agree with you he may only be 6’6” at a low barefoot but not less than that. Zion could even be a weak 6’5” if that’s the case. How much do you think he had on Barrett and on Zion?

@Viper and Ellis: oddly enough the measurements held today were held In the afternoon but that does not mean that they are true afternoon measurements.

Zion is a solid 6'5, when he gets up he is probably around 6'5.75, at his low he is a bit under 6'5.
@Canson: Right, usually very famous and skilled players don't attend like Zion himself. In Zions case there are two reasons, one: he has nothing to prove at the combine he is guaranteed a top 3 pick, two: he will probably be undersized, especially since he plays at the power forward.

What he will weigh at the combine is more interesting to me.
He weighed 272 in 2017

They could be the same height or Barrett like a smidge taller. I doubt Barrett is more than 6’5.5 and doubt Zion is over 6’5” flat or maybe 196cm. 6’5.5 is too much for him

Some pics he looks taller than rj other pics rj looks taller and in some other pics they look the same I would say soon is 6’5 flat for sure does not dip under that. As for rj 6’5.5

@Viper: if you had to guess would you think he would be the full 6’5” at a low or do you think he may dip under? Also I think Barrett May be a stronger 6’5”

You would probably see a full 2” between he and Lebron or at least close to 2”. I doubt he’s any taller than he measured in 2018 6’5 flat

Not more than 6’5” they list him at 6’7” to increase his draft interest. He’s also constantly getting Lebron James comparisons and people think they’re the same size. Not true at all. I think Lebron has a solid 2 inches on him. I remember hearing he measured at 6’5” flat about a year ago... and Lebron measured 6’7.25”
Also he’s listed at 285lbs... that just seems absurd.. 6’5” 285??? I’m not buying it.

@Rob: he likely won’t measure. In basketball they are allowed to skip the combine as Lonzo didn’t measure or attend either neither do Jayson Tatum or Markelle Fultz I could see zion maybe measuring close to 6’5.5 (early morning) if he did however. He looks about as close to 6’5” at a low. That would be the better listing than 6’5.5 because that measurement for him doesn’t even exist. Someone else said that on the site because he’s listed 6’7”. Coach K called him 6’6/6’7 before the season began which is his height in shoes 6’6+ which points to a solid 6’5” barefoot

@Mickie: there is no record of 6’5.5. The forum Rob got it from was from a poster who didn’t know what they’re talking about and just assuming because he’s listed 6’7” that he’s 6’6/6’7. Now I can believe that he’s 6’5” at a low perhaps but quite honestly, if RJ Barrett only measured 6’5” and still is, Zion may just be 6’4.5 or weak 6’5”. Barrett could be perhaps 6’5.5 as at times he looks maybe half inch taller than Zion

-Tremendous physical profile for his age. Developed, yet still has quite a bit of room to fill out. Wide shoulders. Long arms with a 6' 10 wingspan. Measured 6' 6.5 in shoes.
Barrett is 6-5. You are thinking of Reddish Canson

That was in shoes. Barrett is 6-5.
He's clearly shorter than 6-5 measured Reddish.

@Rob: only thing is the measurement that the article refers to is the same measurement from USA basketball that was a solid 6’5”. The person either made a mistake of embellished him to be 6’5.5. I do agree that a 6’7” listing could mean that 6’5.5 but in his case it was 6’5”. But I think 6’5” is his low

Canson said on 5/Mar/19
@Viper: Barrett shows 6’6.5 here the last time he was measured in 2017. Not sure if they made a mistake or not but they may have because he was previously that in shoes. But he does look taller than Zion ordinarily. I’m curious to see what Zion measures. I doubt over 6’5” flat. The 6’5.5 that Rob saw is someone on that site mistaking the information or misrepresenting it as it’s the same time he measured 6’5” flat. Scroll down to 2017 for Barrett

@Viper: I actually see Barrett measuring 6’6.5 and 6’5.5. He’s taller than Zion. Zion looks 6’5” barefoot on the court to me. Maybe Cam is 6’6” and change.

@Rob: it is a misinterpretation. I don’t see him measuring 6’5.5 on any other pages. But this is the same type of page where they say that Michael jordan is 6’4.5 or 6’4 7/8 and Barkley 6’4 5/8. Not saying Zion hasn’t grown but I think that if he has then the 6’5.5 is an early morning and 6’5 at a low. He measured 6’5” at the USA b-ball camp that is in question in that thread. However it believe that is a normal low for him today

Editor RobIt could have been, though if he was listed at 6ft 7, there is a chance he was 6ft 5.5 barefoot.

515,000 people would be about a quarter of the Instagram followers he had in high school. He's the most ballyhooed amateur player since LeBron James, an athletic freak with the build of an NFL linebacker and a 49-inch vertical jump. The celebrities come out when he's playing, including James and Barack Obama. Actually, he probably won't be better known next year, since there's no way he can live up to the current hype as an NBA player.

Zion is 19 this year so i doubt that he stop growing. Maybe a low now 6'5 1/4 but maybe he would reach this listing at his low a year later.
In general, boys stop growing between 16-18. There is always exceptions, but 18 is typically where it stops. Some will peak as late as 19 but that's not common. Anyway, I think Zion is no more than 6'5 1/2

No, this is a guy who clearly matured early. He probably stopped growing by 15.
And where did the 6-5.5 come from.

I must still be living in a web world from ten years ago as I can't understand why 515,000 people would be viewing the above photo and liking it. If he was a big NBA star I could understand more! He looks a big lad anyway, but not sure why he is notable.

I think Barrett measured 6’6.5. I still agree with Viper. Zion doesn’t look over 6’5” on the court with anyone. 6’5.5 may be a morning height for him

Sounds right for a basketball measurement, RJ Barrett is probably 6'6 barefoot for a basketball measurement.
