    KPJ recently played against 6’4 Dejounte Murray in a pro am. KPJ is 6’5 easily

    Ok so kpj at 6’5 was noticeably bigger than Green. Like I said he’s 6’3-6’4.

    Great picture. Scottie Barnes measured 6’7. Green is clearly not 6’6 or 6’5. Like definitively, case closed.

    Edwards is 6’3.5, I can’t tell at all in that video that Green is taller.

    Go look at the dunk in the end. Unless that's a lower goal that does not look like the perspective for 6'3 person.

    Official measurements are done barefooted now.

    Basketball is played with shoes on.

    If hypothetically KPJ is 6’5 barefoot and Green is 6’4 barefoot.

    They would be around 6’6 and 6’5 on the court.

    That’s a big backcourt

    No idea. But we have great comps with Anthony Edwards who is 6’3 and Barnes who is 6’7. He’s below Barnes even with like 3 inches of hair.

    This was a clip from April 2020. I'd say he's as tall, but probably an inch taller than Anthony Edwards. I don't think AE grew at all since then, and he's listed 6'4". I think he's probably a legit 6'5". Check this clip at the 1:11 mark, it's pretty clear to see.

    Where are you seeing the Barnes comparisons? I couldn't find any recent ones.

    Anthony Edwards was listed everywhere at 6’3 before the draft. Nba.com rounds up so I’m guessing he’s 6’3.5 now.

    I hate arguing over an inch. He’s undersized, slightly by height, a lot by weight and build (ability to put on weight). You don’t get called Baby for no reason.

    Maybe on the Rockets he can guard pgs while kpj guard sg.

    It’s one thing if people don’t believe in Jalen Green… he’ll prove you wrong

    It’s another thing to spread disinformation. Jalen is not 6’3. His measurements are always 6’5 or 6’6.
