    LOL, to be fair, McHale has the sickest wingspan for a player of his height in NBA history. Having said that, Donatas' wingspan is indeed poor. I hope the factor of not having great physical features won't stop him from becoming a great player. One thing for sure, he definitely has that other factor - talent.

    Talent, skill set, ambition, work ethic, height, athleticism. I foresee D-Mo and McHale getting along famously.

    What? Are we looking at the same picture?

    D-Mo has his arms to his side with his forearms raised, while K. McHale practically has his arms fully stretched.

    If this guy can somehow retain his level of confidence in the nba, he's going to do great things. REALLY play excited about him

    Is he 7 feet tall yet? He looks it if McHale is 6 10.

    Last year at the Philadelphia workout he measured 7'0 w/t out shoes.

    So yes, he's 7'0 tall...

    McHale is 6'10. He looks like at least 2 inches taller than McHale. Or maybe McHale shrunk due to aging.

    I thought it was 6'11" w/o shoes, 7' w/shoes? Not that it really matters, but its going to be interesting to see what the Rockets list him as next season. He actually might pull a Garnett and try to make sure his height is listed at 6'11" so he doesn't have to play center.

    D-Mo is closer to the photographer in this picture and he's on his toes.

    Actually he is further from the photographer in the picture where he is on his toes.

    Yeah, he's going to be listed at 7'0, kind of like Gasol is listed at 7'0, when he clearly is much taller then that.

    With that said I couldn't find the article that states his height, but the sixers director of player personal say's at the 1:43 mark.

    He is a legitimate 7'0" without shoes and he has a solid frame. His arms are not especially long compared to other 7'0" and he is not explosive off the ground. However, after he gets going he is a very good athlete with fluidity.

    I wonder why they held a workout with Motiejunas that's, apparently, open to everybody at the camp (some of the media guys got to see and photograph it, at least). Could the Rockets be showcasing Motiejunas for a trade?
