     Today Jabari’s teammate rodney measured in at 6’7.25" without shoes which is taller than I would have expected him to be.  In my opinion, jabari looked taller than rodney though they were both listed as 6’8. How tall do you think jabari actually is because he said in an interview when he officially declared for the draft that he sees himself playing the power forward position in the league and an undesirable height would hurt his stock and his professional outlook. Also how will he measure in comparison to rodney? Taller or shorter? And keep in mind that rodney has a long head compared to Jabari’s round head lol

    Jabari from the way I saw him with Hood, Jabari was definetly taller. I’d say if he measured he probably would have been around 6’7.75 to 6’8.25 w/o shoes and being 6’9 – 6’9.5 in shoes. Just an estimate since we probably will never get an exact measurement unless a team releases it.

      "Everyone plays small ball…."

      Okc, spurs, memphis, golden state, portland, indiana all play with traditional centres and power forwards in the starting lineup. Theyre also the best teams.

      Only team thats any good which plays small ball is Miami.

      Such a throw-away comment that isnt actually true.

      More often than not small ball is a product of not having good bigs that are worthy of the minutes

        Okc, spurs, golden state, portland all start traditional Pf and centers but, they also play alot of small ball lineups… Most of there small forwards get descent run at the 4 spot and tend to be more effective those lineups

        With that said the team he ends up on will determine what position he actually ends up playing in the league…

    Jabari is my favorite prospect in the draft by a long way and I think him playing the 4 spot would be blessing.

    As a for au think he could be an Antwan Jamieson type, only has better potential in the long run.

    Other Pf would kill  Parker wouldnt they (especially being so close to basket), the same PF that everybody assumes would kill Randle would surely have a field day with parker. I personally prefer him to operate at the three. There he can be a more effective  post up threat against generally smaller players, he has enough face up skill (handling, shiftyness ) even if hes not incredibly fast. I think he could struggle here defensively too against quicker 3s but assuming hell  be guarding on the perimeter the will be ample space and time for help defense schemes.
