    Take a guess at which troll (maj or bobby). It's a 50% chance you'll be right.

    I grew 1.5 inches after my 25th birthday somehow (6'3 to 6'4.5) so its possible.

    He doesn't have the frame to overcome some of his defensive limitations by virtue of just being bigger like Jokic, but the scoring and passing are there. The shooting needs to improve. After seeing Jokic beat every possible coverage thrown at him, I am optimistic that a good coach can find a way to get a a lot more out of Sengun than Silas was able to.

    Sengun's NBA.com profile height was changed at some point between October and now. He was 6'10" and now he's 6'11" on the site. I thought NBA had to certify heights before the season. Not sure what's up there.

    I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm saying it's very well possible to grow in one's early 20's. However, I was saying at the time of that picture of Hakeem and Sengun, I know forna fact Hakeem is/was 6'9, which means Sengun is closer to 6'8 and if he has grown 2 inches since then, that would make him 6'10 now but it's possible too that he's still growing.

    Many people on here never played sports. They always add 1-2 inches to your height so it looks better. Sengun is 6’10” with shoes

    I think if Ime Udoka decides to stick with Sengun, they have to bring in a legit center, someone with height and bulk.....Brook Lopez is perfect!

    If they can't get Lively or Lopez, would you entertain trading for KAT or Myles Turner

    Sengun has a much lower ceiling than Jokic because he is shorter. Who cares what his height is just look at him on the court next to real 7 footers he is clearly smaller. Like what the other poster said the smaller size also hurts a lot on defense.

    But the thing is Jokic is such a high bar, Sengun doesn't have to be a future mvp he is just the 18th pick. He just needs to be a good defender.

    Played football up to college, played basketball in my early teens, varsity track and first leg in the sprint relay, and did martial arts. What, did you play baseball and lacrosse? Lol
