The road to NBA stardom is littered with guys who had room to grow. The fact that he snow birds shows that he isn't dedicated to all facets of his craft. Probably tells you that he hasn't taken defense seriously his entire life since allure has been expected to do is score. MJ, Lebron, Magic, the greats...none of them took off on defense.

Did they always? Even in high school? Are all traits of the elite inherent or can any be learned?

Magic was notorious for being terrible at guarding other guards.

How old is Bavetta? I wonder when he plans on retiring.

ETA: Nevermind, I googled it. He's 73.

I think that's about what he's listed as. 6'8, 6'9. Somewhere in there.

AD looks to be 6'11 now

Here are others if you're trying to gauge.

Monty probably has suit shoes on so there no lift to that. Maybe a 1/2 Inch. Davis shoes are probably an inch to inch and a half. Just looks a little taller.

Demps said earlier in the year that he had grown another half a inch since the combine.

He measured 6'10.5" at the combine so.

Look at his shoulders in the pic HunnyBee posted. He could fill out a lot. 245 doesn't seem out of the question.

Yea with roids

I think he weighed in at 222 at the combine and he has said he's put on 5-10 lbs since.

The thing with Anthony is I still don't think he's used to his body/height/length/. Growing so many inches in such a short amount of time must take some adjusting. I mean sometimes when he's off balance and falls after a missed shot at the rim or whatever, he looks like a baby giraffe out there. :hihi:

I still think he's lost weight. His arms are way skinnier than that above pic right now

Yeah i think 245 will be a good weight for him. Dwight's like 265 or so?

Davis would be incredible if he had Dwight's muscle mass. I say he's a good 40 pounds away.

Demps said earlier in the year that and MRI revealed that Davis' epiphysial plates haven't closed yet, so he could/should grow even more.
