Jae Crowder's height

[tower912]

According to a tweet I saw on the scout board (yeah, I know, nothing like first hand information), he measured 6'3 3/4 without his shoes on at NBA's draft combine.   Wow.   Isn't that the same height as Blue? That makes  his accomplishments even more impressive.   Also, it makes one wonder about all of the other heights and how much distortion goes on.   And finally, it explains why he was trying to lose weight and have a go of it as a shooting guard.

I saw those tweets yesterday as well, not surprised he always seemed shorter. No wonder he's trying to become a shooting guard.

No offense to Jae, but it'll hurt his stock a bit. I'm still thinking early second round.

Similarly surprised when Dejuan Blair measured 6'5" at camp.

This. 

Of course on the offensive end, but it makes me appreciate even more his defense (almost always on taller players, unless their height is "graded down" now as well) and rebounding.

I'm thinking late 2nd round to undrafted.

If so, DJO is 5-9

DJO measured in at 6'1" without shoes.

It's gotta be the hair.

[MattyWarrior]

Derrick Wilson measured in at 5'5"and 200 pounds with short arms.

DJO walked past me after the College of Communications graduation ceremony yesterday.  It did occur to me that he wasn't as tall as I expected.

On a side note, Buzz and the assistant coaches were in the back row, 3-4 rows behind me at the ceremony and all of them hooted and hollered pretty loud when DJO's name was called.  In fact, they were louder than most of the families of other students there.

[MU82]

He'll really be screwed if they make him play without shoes on!

[RawdogDX]

Wilson being 6'7 but looking 3 inches taller suddenly makes sense.

They are supposed to save all applause after all the graduate's names are called.

Inconsiderate and disrespectful.

Is that with or without the hair?

In their defense (sort of), 1) they didn't say to hold you applause and 2) there was applause for every individual student (just varying levels/volumes).  Plus, I'm just an Engineer, but wouldn't it go against the tenets of the College of Communications to prevent any forms of communication    That being said, I have never been comfortable doing anything more than clapping.

I was being sarcastic.

Did that include his hair?

Marquette men's basketball coach Buzz Williams will be looking to move on next year to any suitable location after MUScoop poster PTM messed with his happy by dissing him publicly on the fan message board.

LW will help him be a better commencement attendee.

[MUEng92]

Whoops. Never mind.

[Dawson Rental]

Hooting and hollering for one graduate while a ceremony is in progress is the kind of thing that can lead to an  misunderstanding which creates irrevocable bad feelings.

Nah, Buzz and I are cool. We have an email chain going.

Can't tell you what he said though.

Of course not, but you can tell us what conclusions you've drawn from what he said without betraying how you got to them.

Buzz to the College of Communications.

Here is a spreadsheet containing the measurements from the combine:

http://www.draftexpress.com/nba-pre-draft-measurements/?page=&year=2012&source=NJ+Workout&sort2=DESC&draft=0&pos=0&sort=


Jae is 6'3.75" with a 6'8.5" wingspan.
DJO is 6'1" with a 6'6.5" wingspan.

Josh Owens from Stanford had the highest max vert at 40.8". DJO was a close second: 40".

However, both Jae and DJO finished in the bottom 5 in the agility test. This is where Lazar shone, I believe.

Brief shots of Jae at 2:06 and 2:57. http://www.nba.com/nets/video/2012/05/21/bmarkscombine120520-2105512
