    KT is 6' 6.5". I got this height from a predaft camp listing. I suspect that this a bare foot measurement.

    Mooch is not 6' 1".

    While we're at it, let's list the heights of all the players they'll have to play against. That way, we can make a real comparison.

    While height is apparently hard to measure in professional sports I think it's safe to say that Griffin is somewhere between 6'10"-6'11" and 220 lbs. Tmo is definitely 6'9", 220

    I don't think Eddie is any taller than 6'10" right now. Morris and Eddie were exactly the same height when we drafted them and then reports came out that he may have grown some over the summer, but probably not more than an inch. What they really need is meat on them bones.

    All I know is, Griffin was taller than Mark Bryant, who has always been listed as 6-9. Maybe it was the shoes?

    I noticed in last nights game that Eddie Griffin was standing next to Rudy and was taller.

    If I recall Rudy was always listed as 6'10", making Griffin at least that height if not taller.

    Morris was shorter than Griffin and is probably closer to 6'8" than 6'9"

    I think Rudy was listed as 6' 8" in his playing days.

    Anyone remember Art Eckman: "Rudy T with a muscle-leaner..."

    The "muscle-leaner" never ascended to the height of fame that the Sky Hook or the Finger-roll did, but it is active in my imagination.

    Rudy T. was listed at 6'10 but I also think right now he's 6'8. I seen him stand next to OT who is listed at 6'10 in old pictures and he's about 2 inch shorter. Eddie Griffin looks 6'10 IMO and his shoulders come to the same height as Langhi's who is listed at 6'11. Langhi looks an inch taller though. TRock is an inch shorter than EG, this I'm absolutely sure. And from my game observations TRock looks an inch taller than S Battier who is listed at 6-8. And S Battier looks a solid 6'8.
