Are we talking with shoes or barefoot?

 

[WrenchFan69]

Kemba measured 5'11.5" at the combine, so him.

Kemba

Kemba is the correct answer based on what he accomplished in his rookie season in the NBA.

In his rookie year, he averaged 12.1 points and 4.4 assists per game over 27.2 minutes. Those numbers would have been even better if he was instead playing out his senior year at UConn.

Are we talking listed heights by UConn or barefoot heights, of which we don't have all of them?

Kemba, anyone naming another UConn player doesn’t know UConn basketball

Length at birth.

 

[Hoophound]

It’s Kemba. As a college player, you could easily argue it’s Shabazz if you wanted to. I think he measured about the same as Kemba barefoot. After that I guess it’s Khalid, Boat and RJ Cole.

1. Kemba
2. Bazz
3. Khalid
4. Boat
5. RJ

Rob Garrison.

Length at birth.

Thanks. That narrows it down.

I'll go with Ray Allen then. I think he was about 21 inches at birth.

Kemba listed at 6-1.

Bazz listed at 6-0.

Khalid has to be the answer since I think he was the best player that UConn listed at under 6 feet tall. He was listed as 5-10. Anyone else listed under 6 feet tall? Joey Whelton?

 

[WrenchFan69]

1. Kemba
2. Bazz
3. Khalid
4. Boat
5. RJ

This is how I would rank them, as well

 

[alexd]

So with those metrics, it's gotta between Boat and KEA. Right??

 

[HooperScooper]

This is how I would rank them, as well

But only Khalid was listed at under 6-0. I'm not sure what the definition of the parameters are supposed to be.

 

[FreeKlaiber]

vern giscombe & karl hobbs must be our smallest backcourt

If Kemba and Bazz are out because LISTED at 6 ft+ then...
1. Khalid
2. Cole
3. Ace.

< 72 inches tall.

Then it has to be Khalid since he's the only one listed at less than 72 inches. Unless you measured all these guys and want to provide their heights to us?

 

[Huskyforlife]

Kemba measured 5'11.5" at the combine, so him.

Yeah if it’s without sneakers this is the answer. In sneakers pretty much everyone is 6ft and over. Maybe Boat was still 5’11?

Boat was listed as 6-0. Which is pretty funny.

Napier. I love Kemba, but I will not stand for Shabazz slander or ignorance here. He was a key bench player for the Kemba championship and ripped through a much tougher slate of NCAA teams than the Kemba Squad did.

Napier's Huskies beat everyone's favorite in MSU, a team that had not lost in months in UF, the best Big East team (Nova), I believe the A10 champion, and the best Big 12 team and champion,

#10, #2, #3, #4, #1, then the squid

Welp, I guess my choice of Rob Garrison, then Kemba, then Shabazz being our best undersized players ever (in order of greatness) is now ruined because of a technicality.

UConn fans accurately know who really is under 6', and I would bet our opponents do as well.

 

[Hoophound]

Kemba measured 5’11.5” barefoot. Bazz was 5’11”.

These were NBA combine measurements, which are reliable.

Eurobasket claims Boat measured 6’ barefoot in Europe. I think he was 5’10”. Bazz always looked a bit taller out there. Every pic in which they are close to upright and on the ground, Bazz is clearly an inch taller.

 

[CCSUblue]

Ace is the only answer.
