Head coach Terry Stotts has big plans for the 25-year-old in 2016-17, including starting him at power forward and having a majority of his minutes come at the four spot, which he told ESPN's Zach Lowe.
I sometimes forget that Aminu is only 25. It's crazy how young our team is.
We will have one hell of a 6th man, either way. And 7th and 8th...It bears repeating.......Aminu has the tallest standing reach on the team. (1/2 inch longer than both Ezeli and Meyers)
Although he is not heavy as some PF's, I will take the trade off any day since he can guard the perimeter better than most other PF's in the NBA.
As for this comment............"Evan Turner, who inked a four-year, $70-million deal as an unrestricted free agent in July, will seemingly be inserted into the lineup at SF, but Stotts has yet to sign off on such a move, especially with Allen Crabbe (four years, $75 million) in the equation"
I am glad Stotts has not signed off on it. ET played his best ball last year in the back court and Crabbe and Harkless need to play too. I would not seemingly insert him at SF either.
I wonder how effective a small ball lineup of Harkless at PF and Aminu at C would be.
It could certainly matchup well defensively when Golden State goes small:
Curry 6'3 = Lillard 6'3
Thompson 6'7 > Crabbe 6'6 (or CJ)
Iggy 6'7 = Turner 6'7
Durant 6'9? = Harkless 6'9
Green 6'7 < Aminu 6'9
We'd match up with their smallball really well with that lineup.
I've heard 6'9-6'11. My point still stands.Pretty sure Durant is 6'11 or 7'0.
Edit- There is no fucking way Durant is 6'9.
No. Way.
Maybe when he was drafted.

I'm not contesting your point. I'm just laughing at Durant for trying to pass it off that he's 6'9.
It make sense for players to say they are taller then they are/be listed as taller...but what is there to gained by saying you are shorter than you are?
Garnett used to do the same shit.
They don't want to be classified as a "big man" because they're 7 footers.
Kareem never stood up straight next to a tape measure. Maybe the 7' mark makes these guys feel like they're freaks?
Huh? I hit the 7" mark(standing straight up). Am I a freak?
draft express has a compilation list of nearly every player in the Leagues actual barefoot heights & other assorted measurements from their respective NBA predrafts, so no need to guess. Heres the barefoot measurements of most of the guys you listed... Thompson 6'5.75, Iguadala 6'5.25, Durant 6'9, Green 6'5.75, Crabbe 6'5.25,Turner 6'5.75, Harkless 6'7.25, Aminu 6'7.25I wonder how effective a small ball lineup of Harkless at PF and Aminu at C would be.

Green 6'7 < Aminu 6'9

jokes on you, he's one of the few in the league telling the truth by listing his actual height instead of a blown up number so as to seem bigger. To counter that silly perspective picture (am I the only one here who went to OMSI?), Boogie measured 6'9.5 & Jordan 6'9.75 at their pre-draftsI'm not contesting your point. I'm just laughing at Durant for trying to pass it off that he's 6'9.
yeah, you're a freak...you lack the curve of a normal man...Huh? I hit the 7" mark(standing straight up). Am I a freak?

wife caught two rainbow trout..son caught two of the same including one that escaped my hook but ate my bait, turned around and he hooked it..I got a lot of bites...beautiful day on the McKenzie....lot of casting practice..I came up empty.My wife was thrilled. She caught her first fish in Oregon and she caught the first two of the day. I've yet to catch a rainbow in 4 fishing trips trying. Had great luck with the small mouth bass thoughWhile we're on the subject, how'd your trout fishing go? Lol. Nevermind- you can post it in your fishing thread....![]()

KD next to Boogie/Jordan.

I bet you it's more like Boogie is exaggerating his height.
