The frick you get your information from? Barnes measured 6'7 without shoes at the combine and 6'8 with shoes. 6'6.

The growing two inches part is super questionable (to say the least). I do not believe that.


It’s very possible and can be “assisted”. Our growth platelets can continue until 26, especially if assisted.

That would account for the mass too. I’m not mad. Do all the HGH! Just win us a title.

That guy is easily 6’10 now. 7’3 with his braids out.

If BI is now 6’10” 235 with his smooth playing game he’s going to put on a show next year. He has stayed in the gym these last couple seasons and now it’s paying off. He’s a legit option at the 4 now if you wanted him there. If even 10% of BI’s dedication rubs off on Zion the league is fricked.

Could this be the first superstar to reach his potential and stay?

He does look massive.

Bi will make plenty on this board eat their words.

BI has always looked like a video game character to me because of his disproportionately long limbs.

Even his legs have gotten bigger.

He's standing probably 2 feet in front of Barnes, so even if they were the same height, he'd look taller.

He looks at least 8 inches taller than Westbrook and they wrists are basically at the same level. Dude is long.

I’m just glad the core of this team (BI Herb and Trey) are getting Team USA reps.

Yeah that's laughable. He's probably somewhere around 6'10 and Barnes is close to 6'8. I just want to see he and Trey together as much as possible. I just feel like those 2 in particular just have the IT factor to lead the Pels a long way

ok

i'm sorry for being realistic here. It isn't the time or place for that. I didn't realize we were all going to fawn over BI growing from 6'8" 190 to being 6'10" 235 in the span of 3 months at almost 26 years old.

This is a place of hopes and dreams and blind positivity, since it's the offseason. I forgot. I'm sorry for bringing the positivity down.
I'll go place a bet for BI to be MVP of the league now, and i sincerely mean that.
BI is easily in my top 4 favorite Pels player of all time.

No dipshit, it’s clear as day that he is not 2 feet in front of him. I have no clue where you even pulled that shite from

sorry. 1 foot.
He's clearly standing more in front of Barnes, and if you can't see that's he's an entire shoe in front of him, then you need to get your eyes checked.


If you wanted to convince me he got taller, then it could be done by saying how much taller he is than Westbrook, who he's pretty much standing side by side with.
Westbrook is 6'3" and BI is an entire head length above him. He's easily more than 5" taller than Westbrook. Either Westbrook is shorter than 6'3", or BI is taller than 6'8".
I don't doubt BI is taller than what he's listed as, but i don't believe for a second he's near 235. He's never been over 200, then all of a sudden he gained 30lb+ in 3 months?
I wouldn't even want him to be that big. I think 215 is about the perfect size for him.


BI was nearly the same height as Lebron when he came in the league, so about 6'8" seems very accurate. It's not crazy to think he's grown some since being in the league.

so this guy can exaggerate BI grew 2" and gained 40lbs over the summer but i can't exaggerate he's standing 2' in front?

That was my point. Maybe BI did get an 1" taller, and maybe he is about 215-200 right now. Exaggerating it to tell me he's 6'10" and 235 is a bit ridiculous, just like saying he's standing 2 feet in front of Barnes.

Pretty sure that's Tim Hardaway Jr on the left and BI looks quite a bit taller than him, too. He's 6'5 and standing closer to the camera than BI.
