Not to hijack the thread but what the heck is with Jaylen Fisher?

you've never seen an Albino before?

Just one, I think.

Is bouncy better than gritty and plucky?

 

[intlzncster]

Is he really only 6'5.5?

Got a gargantuan 7'2 wingspan though.

6'5.5" barefoot means literally nothing. Guessing with shoes he's 6'7".

 

[tcf15]

Also the 2nd leading rebounder (10.7 rpg) behind Thon Maker (15.7).

3rdin blocks per game (1.7) behind Maker (3.0) and Sacha Killeya-Jones (2.0).

Figure 6'6", effectively.

In college hoop, that's big enough for the position.

Mamado - 6'5.5", barefoot
Jeff Adrien - 6'5.25", barefoot

Mamadou - 7'2" wingspan
Jeff Adrien - 7'2" wingspan

Good enough.

I love the hilarity in measuring their height without shoes or socks. Are they going to play basketball barefoot? Then I don't care how tall they are barefoot... just let us know the guy is 6'7" and doesn't wear lifts in his sneakers, we can judge on that

The only difference is that Adrien "had muscles in places most people don't have places" but that being said Mamado sounds like has a higher vertical than Adrien.

You really don't understand why they do that? It's to get a baseline. Not every shoe is the same size, so doing it barefoot puts everyone on a level playing field, so to speak.

I agree that barefoot height is pointless. I want to know how tall they are on the court and really don't care how tall they are in the shower.

 

[auror]

I think this is one of those times where it makes logical sense to make a baseline, but in the end is less informative. The only reason it makes sense is to avoid a situation where a player wears especially big shoes just for the measuring, and I guess that's enough of a reason to do it.

 

[James]

I feel like most basketball sneakers have similar midsole size

GET ME TO NOVEMBER

GET ME TO NOVEMBER

Me too, but until November, lets all sit here silently...

 

[imno1]

I believe they measure barefoot to make sure the player has ten toes. Obviously KO won't consider a player with less

Bare minimum: they have to be all in too.

GET ME TO NOVEMBER

Get me to April 4, 2016 at Houston and the following parade in Hartford for number 5. Will make up for the insufferable posts about players who mess up over the course of the season.

Great comparison and sounds like he's got the motor too!

 

[David 76]

How tall you are barefoot is how tall you are.

 

[Rocktheworld]

But does he have the strength and power to be the force in the paint that Jeff was?

Jeff Adrien as a freshman....not a bruiser.

Mamadou has a year of high school left to play - it's all right if he doesn't look like Jeff Adrien yet.

 

[Huskybass]

JA will always be beloved. Just an incredibly hard working player.
