    Alright lets pour some fuel on the fire. Here is the Turkish team photo from a few days ago, #5 is supposedly 7'1 and #77 is supposedly 7'0. How tall is Sengun?

    if you look at Sengun’s feet, it looks like he is slightly on his toes pushing himself up. The guy would do anything to fake you. He is 6 10.

    Not only is Alpi sneaky athletic, he's also sneaky tall.
    If you look even closer at Alpi's legs, you can see he's slightly on his toes to appear to cheat while simultaneously bending his knees on the sly.
    He's actually 6'11 but by pushing himself up he deceives you into believing he's 6'10, trying to appear taller.
    He's bending his knees to hide his height further, actually trying to appear shorter.
    Oh, the double-deceit: Show the toes, hide the knees... Well played, Alpi.

    You have to compact Alpy's hair to get a measurement. But his shoulders look lower than #24. Is that Osmani at 6'9? Sengun's head might be the same height, or just fractionally above. But there isn't much in it?

    Alpy's shoulders are well below #77 and #5.

    Not a great photo to promote his height

    I drew lines horizontally from what appears to be the crown of the heads of the players (I tried to paste the picture but **** knows how that works lol) and respectively, Sengun is around 3 times shorter in distance between the shorter of the 2, so if he's an inch shorter than the taller dude then I'd put Sengun at 6'9-10 ish.

    Any idea of how tall #24 is? That is likely his best comp from this photo.

    He will never be a legit 7 footer so it's time to call him a bust. Who cares if he is a star in the making. Meh.
