Oh, and I'd glad you didn't pronounce it "FABulouth!

Oh, and the two things Jerryd needs to work on this summer: His arms. He needs to spend at least two hours a day dangling from a pull-up bar with weights strapped to his ankles in order to lengthen those stubby little arms as much as possible.

Nice!
 
I'm every bit of 6'4"
with or without shoes ;)

actually I'm not really joking as I want to know whats what. In that photo he looks taller then you, but then it was taken from a low angle and single photos can be deceiving. What would you put his barefoot height at?

PK is over 2" shorter then Rudy

I can't remember where I read it, but supposedly Petko has grown a little bit. He's something like 6'5" now

Hm. DraftExpress is sending out conflicting messages then:
Koponen is 6'5" and 194lbs
Rudy is 6'6" and 172lbs

Petteri is 6-5 with shoes and Portlanders just won't believe it. He looked that tall to me in his 1st summer camp. Then he returned for his 2nd one and Pritchard said, "You've grown!" No he hadn't. Everyone wanted to remember him as Sergio's 6-3 height, but he isn't. Now, this thread corrects everyone's false memory once again. I don't see why it's hard to understand. He's about an inch shorter than Rudy but wider and heavier, so he'll be able to drive inside, unlike Rudy. He is not the outside shooter that Rudy was in Europe, but is better than Rudy has been shooting lately. He's a conventional PG with court vision, unlike Bayless, and a couple of inches taller than Bayless. His problem is that he may have to play SG because of lateral quickness on defense, the same reason as Rudy, and he's a good but not great shooter.

good grief dude... is following a link so tough? An actual measurement had him 0.25" taller then Bayless not a couple inches. Now it seems (according to someone who actually met him face to face w/a pic to prove it) that he has grown since and yet you're sticking to your nonsense going against actual measurements and multiple observations by those in the organization to talk shit... nice job!

All those measurements were wrong and my eyes were right. When we can all those trainers who caused our injuries, we should also fire all those biased guys with the rulers who are just trying to make my boy Petteri look like a squirt.

Then we go after the guy who doles out the Gatorade.

huh? Many of those that appear on the DE link have gone on to NBA pre-draft camps and posted more or less the same numbers including Bayless. That works as a confirmation.

While you're free to form/hold any opinion you choose to, I'm always going to trust an actual measurement over some random fan's observation. I saw several games in that first summer league that Jerryd and Petteri played together and they seemed about the same size. While I didn't get to watch the following year, thats when the chatter on PK dramatically sprouting up was going on. With a clear picture confirming that he has indeed grown since he was 18 and the DE measurement took place, I'm going to go with the word of several in the organization as to when it happened. Sorry :)

I guess it's alright. But don't let it happen again.
 
I hope he comes over this year.
 
Speaking of Koponen's growth, Nate McMillan has exploded 3 inches since becoming Blazer coach. On each side. Like a blimp.

you exaggerate (of course) but is this really unexpected? Dude did rupture his achilles tendon...

if he's brought back next season, heres guessing he'll be back to looking as he did at the start of last season
