    You’re being contrarian and argumentative for no reason. All you had to do was show the info and your source. Other references list him as 6’8 that’s what I was going by. Regardless point is he’s still a big guard to play the 1. Lol all this arguing for no reason. Like most people on this board

    Believe it was the photo of him standing next to Livers who was measured at 6'5.75" barefoot.

    Exactly. Cade is sooooo NOT 6’8”. He is more like 6’5” barefoot and near 6’6” with shoes based on my photographic, comparative analysis.

    Yep. They factored in the hair. That is why Ben Wallace appeared taller and more menacing - the hair. (Not saying Cade looks menacing bc - he doesn’t )

    So you think that if Magic Johnson was really 6'6 instead of 6'8 it wouldn't have changed his game any?

    No team is putting Beverley or Jrue on KD for the entire game, only select possessions. Beverley and Jrue are one of the best defensive guards in the entire league. Theo Maledon is a defensive sieve. Do you even know who Theo Maledon is? Gtfoh indeed

    Cade is going to be a fantastic player guys. So will Jalen. Both can be great.

    This has been posted a couple of times already in this thread, but I couldn't (be bothered to) scroll back 40 pages to find it. Detroit's own summer league roster lists him at 6'6". That's the main news that took this from pure speculation to an actual thing.

    It'd be much better if all the nba draftee go through the same barefoot measurement that the NBA now requires. Cade is currently listed as 6'7" on nba.com (one inch shorter) They should get re-measured every year until 22 at least, in case growth. But if Cade, Evan, and Jalen are shorter, should reflect that.

    False advertisement :D; like a bag of chips where 75% is air.

    Didn't know Cade was a Rocket fan. Nice to interact with a lottery pick.

    Dominate?
    Averaged more turnovers than assists, lowest 2pt% of any top prospect in 10 years, lower advanced stats across the board vs Suggs. You got a weird definition of “dominate”, “stupidass”. lol

    6’6 217

    Was previously listed as 6’8 225 some places. It also looks like his afro might be adding to get him to that 6’6 measurement, as others have noted

    He looks Booker sized, not Paul George

    This whole time we were worried about Greens size... Cunningham a whole 3 inches shorter then thought, 8 pounds lighter too. Crazy

    we didn’t need a gd roster to tell us that. We just need our eyeballs.
