Is it me or does Griffin look bigger and taller than expected?

    I've noticed in the pics that are provided from the Summer League that he actually looks taller than Langhi. Everyone is saying that Langhi is 6'11", well if he actually is, Griffin is taller. Also, I thought Griffin was actually skinnier than he was, but he actually has a little bulk to go with his height. If that is the case then I can see why Rudy and the guys dropped out of the Webber sweepstakes.

    I still wonder which spot Eddie will play.
    If he can bulk up to around 240, he can be our starting 4 (in future years; I see Terrence as our future starting 3). But what about Mo, sitting on the sidelines? Do we sign him now and trade him when Eddie's ready? Do we go with a rapid "special attack force" with Mo, Eddie, Terrence, Cat, and Franchise as our starting five? Mo might actually be taller than his listed 6'9", but even if not, the aforementioned lineup would be fun to watch. Would it win?

    Eddie's lean (and, potentially, mean) but his frame looks to be the kind that can add weight, which is good.

    While I was watching Eddie Griffin against Troy M. Eddie was about an inch or inch and a half shorter. Eddie is shorter than Langhi by an inch or so also but both their shoulders are at about the same height. When Langhi plays he his boday is bending over a little and he bends his head down alot so he looks a little shorter. But Langhi is 6'11 definitely and man he had everyone talking about how good he was at the games. EG is the same height as TRock so he's 6'9. BUt his frame looks like it really can be built up. It's not wide but it's not thin like C. Rogers. Eddie also has big and powerful legs and cavs. They are way biggger than all the other houston players. He definitely looks like he is a power forward, although I hope he plays sf.

    LA's #1 Rocket Fan, that's what I was noticing also about Griffin, his legs/calf. They are pretty big and that lets you know that he can play some power forward because he has a strong base/foundation to hold his position. Also about Langhi, I think that extra inch or so over Griffin comes from his neck. Langhi does have a pretty long neck.
