Surprised he is under 6'5" but at least he isn't under 6'3" I thought he would be an inch taller than what he measured.

I was confused trying to parse that tweet. I think he is saying he measured that in the past, probably before one of the US camps. My guess is that is a bare minimum for his size.
Combine measurements here:


Karaban under 6'7 without shoes. Might tick his stock down a slight bit.


Think those are actually good measurements for Karaban. Puts him at a solid 6'8 for his with shoes measurements.

There is no way Steph Castle is 6'2.25"

As I noted in another post the castle measurement is wrong. So w weren't as tall in the backcourt as advertised. 6'5", 6'3" and 6'3.



UConn lists players with shoes height (say +1.5 inches). Spencer at 6'3 without shoes is -> 6'4.5 with shoes. Same with Newton at 6'3.25 -> 6'4.75. If Castle is at 6'4.5 -> 6'5.75.

So UConn lists the backcourt as 6'4, 6'5, 6'6. Not terribly off the w/ shoes likely measurements.

I meant the numbers posted in the tweet in the post I responded to which had Castle at 6'4.5 w/o shoes in the past.

Yeah but then they undersold Clingan as he should of been at least 7'3" with shoes and not 7'2".

Actually pretty good wingspan of 6'11" Better than Flipowski who over 4 inches taller than him. Also, the same wingspan as Oso Ighodaro. No wonder Karaban could play and block some centers in the big east.

That I agree with, but Karaban would have been on point also at a UConn 6'8 listing. Clingan may have grown during the year. There were reports he grew over the summer, perhaps they never updated, not sure.

People actually thought Castle was really 6’2?

You can’t underestimate the collective stupidity of the internet. Especially NBA fans judging a college player they never watched and may have never actually seen even in photos.

Even worse, he’s actually been measured at a combine before.

I think he was like almost 6’5” without shoes at some Nike deal.

I was staring at my screen trying to understand what I was seeing. It didn't make any sense.

Baffled it is still on the site as that. Hopefully they change it soon.

Right. Ron Holland is listed at 6'8" and he also was measured at 6'6.5" without shoes.

Height's irrelevant anyway. Wingspan is much more important. You don't shoot, rebound or block shots with your head.
