 Like the lottery, the combine has the potential to change the draft order dramatically . Thomas Robinson, projected at 2 could suffer a fall if his true height is lower than his listed, while contrast to that, Drummond’s stock may sky rocket when it becomes clear how athletic it is. There are a lot of things to come out of this, feel free to post opinions and news.

ESPNU is covering it so tune into that if you can.

Kansas is a BIG TIME school so historically their heights have been pretty much dependable with their players

Dude, every school has bull$hit height listings at times, no matter the historical content. What about the Morris twins last year? Dude, these schools do not always give out accurate measurements on everyone. It is hard to know how much these inches really matter and they can be made up for by length or strength, but I think all of these schools have subtle inaccuracies, no matter program prestige.

No sir,no sir,no sir…The good ol University of Minnesota never fudges on heights,weights, or shoe of any of their players!

What about the Morris twins? They were listed at 6’9” at measured at 6’9”. Im telling you, Thomas Robinson is 6’9” in shoes.

when Duke, UNC, Kentucky and Kansas say someone is a certain height, they usually are that certain height

[mikeyvthedonParticipant]

If I remember, tended to be 6’10 according to most. Marcus measured at 6’7 without shoes (that is definitely not 6’9 unless he is wearing high heels) and Markieff was close enough to 6’9, measuring at 6’7.75. Unless Thomas Robinson is 6’8.75 without shoes, seems like Kansas is not exactly the most historically accurate with their heights:

Unless they change it after combine results, it lists T-Rob at 6’10 and 237. My guess is somewhere in the 6’9 range (with shoes), but 6’10 would surprise me. Kansas makes the same occasional mistakes as everyone.

 As I said before you go to 4 different websites for the same player, I guarantee their height and weight are different.

Amick reports that, according to sources, Anthony Davis, Bradley Beal, Andre Drummond, Harrison Barnes and Dion Waiters will not be participating in skill drills. While Davis is the consensus top pick in the Draft and has little to gain from participating in drills, Beal is likely to go in the No. 2 to No. 4 range, and could have shown off his shooting touch that has drawn repeated comparisons to Ray Allen. Drummond, likewise, is regarded as the biggest enigma of the 2012 draft class, and could have dispelled worries about his motor.

"Drummond, likewise, is regarded as the biggest enigma of the 2012 draft class, and could have dispelled worries about his motor."

Has there ever been a guy who finished 4rd in the Big East in offensive rebounds and 3rd in blocked shots as a freshman get hit with concerns over "motor" or am I missing someone? I have concerns over Drummond’s skill level, but I’m good with a "low motor" center who pulls in 3.6 offensive rebounds per game in the Big East.
