Boban only measured 7’2.25 overseas. Maybe 7’2.5-7’3 max but I say under 7’3. Porzungis is now listed 7’2 with Boston so likely he’s under 7’2 meaning Boban is under 7’3

Boban 7'3
Porzingis 7'2.625
KP is listed 7’2 with Boston and measured 7’1.25”. Likely under 7’2 even if he did grow. Wemby who is every bit of 7’3.5 at a low most likely or within 1/8” is clearly 1.5-2” taller

He’s only listed at 7’3 so I doubt he’s 7’3.25”. 7’3 flat should be the most he’s listed here but really 7’2.25 is what he measured when he was overseas. Maybe he’s 7’2.5 or so tho

7'3 is kinda short for basket

@Wingspanpro: Joe is closer to the camera in all of those pics. I’ll agree that he “may” be his listed pre draft but it’s at least 2”. He measured 6’6.75”. In fact it can look more than 2” which I don’t rule out Joe being lower. I can’t recall Johnson being listed 6’8 only 6’7”. The pics with Melo are not very good. Johnson is closer to the camera in all of them. Johnson does not look 6’7” next to Horford. He measured 6’6.75”. I don’t rule that out but I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s not a strong 6’6”.
Click Here
I do agree that Melo is 6’6.25 Horford 6’8.75 LeBron I have at 6’7.25 his pre draft. Livingston 6’6.25, Quentin Richardson and Amare stoudemire were on a game show years back when both were in Phoenix. Stat said Q was 6’4 on the game show to his face when he said what sport he thought he’d play if not basketball. A May be my height 6’4.25” and the 6’5.5 is probably in shoes.
As for Marion I’ve heard him guessed as 6’5-6’6 range. The most I can buy is 6’6 and Johnson looks marginally taller. It won’t surprise me if Marion was a morning measurement (6’6.25) and he’s 6’5.75. I could buy up to 6’6.75” for Johnson. As for Amare he measured 6’8.5 when drafted. I doubt he’s 6’9 flat but maybe he’s 6’8.75”. He looked dwarfed by shaq. That’s too much height for him to be 6’9 and I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t gain a thing really although 6’8.5-6’9 range I’d consider
Johnson though looks pretty close to his pre draft if not bang on. It’s just that he’s a normal walking height versus someone who measured 6’6.75 in the first couple hours and is 6’6.25 later on. All I was saying is that they don’t measure late evening at a combine. It may be afternoon in some cases such as 2008. Even still not all players are at lows. They may have laid around until but that doesn’t seem to be the case with Johnson

@Wingspanpro: I think you have it backward. Porzangis was measured 7’1.25. Boban measured 7’2.25” when he was overseas. I don’t rule out Porzangis having grown a fraction though. Maybe he’s 7’1.5” or so and Boban 7’2.5”-7’3”. I agree. Brand is about 6’7”. He looks small with Dwight howard. I don’t think Joe Johnson is late evening though. That’s probably a regular afternoon measurement which is similar to an evening measurement for most. Johnson was always listed 6’7” but he could dip to 6’6.5 at an extreme low so 6’6.75 is prob the norm for him. I think for Sczerbiak and RJ it’s probably not accurate. RJ looks 6’6 range at most

Joe Johnson, for example, was measured at 6'6.75, but I would consider that measurement to be very late in the evening.
The same goes for Boban, he just wasn't standing up straight when he was measured and it was late in the evening. Or he actually grew after his 20th birthday.

Canson said on 14/Nov/21
@Editor Rob: agreed. And in Boban’s case, if they’re listing him at 7’3” now he’s likely not over that mark or else he would’ve retained 7’4”.
Canson said on 11/Nov/21
Canson said on 22/Oct/21
@Editor Rob: he’s listed 7’3” again (was 7’4 before). He measured 7’2.25 before. Safe to say he’s probably not much over that now. I’m willing to bet if he grew its to maybe 7’2.75 or something. Not 7’3 1/4 or 1/2 or else he would’ve retained his 7’4 listing if they do it earlier in the day
Editor Rob
you have to wonder how they measure the '7ft 4' in the first place, maybe it was a generous measurer. After all, over 6ft 9 on many stadiometers becomes difficult, so it's against a wall.
@Editor Rob: he was never measured 7’4”. He measured 7’3.5” and was rounded to 7’4”. As I mentioned before, he measured 7’2.25” in Europe so I’m skeptical of the 7’3.5”. Even in the morning i would’ve thought 7’3”. Maybe they corrected it now. For what it’s worth, Porzingis measured 7’1.25” when he was drafted and allegedly 7’2.75 in 2019 which I don’t believe. That insinuates that both guys gained an inch to inch and a half
Editor Rob
There might be more room for error when measuring over 7ft guys, because it is likely just done against a wall, rather than a stadiometer which can go to about 6ft 9 in most cases.
Canson said on 23/Oct/21
@Editor Rob: he received 7’3.5” though not 7’4”. Now we know he isn’t 7’3.5 if he is listed 7’3”. Better chance he’s under that Mark. Meaning 7’3.25 is too high here

@Robbe: yea I don’t think Porzingis grew much. He’s perhaps a 7’1.5 range guy now as opposed to what he was when drafted. Maybe 7’1.75” at best

Boban can look 1-2in taller than Porzingis, depending on photo. Here he appears close to 2in taller
Click Here
With Scott and Harris he howers 7'4 range

Anyway, Rob's listing is close enough in my opinion.
Canson said on 26/Sep/21
@JT: I’d give Barea 5’9.5”. I don’t know what’s up with Boban’s measurement because he was 7’2.25 before. Maybe he grew a touch but not sure. I’d say max 7’3 flat if he did or even a bit less being that was early morning. I think he has Porzangis by an inch or close to it.
JT said on 12/Jun/21
Assuming JJ Barea (listed as 5.9.75” here) is a little under 5’11” in shoes, Boban is easily the 7’3.25” listing here and maybe a little taller (like he was reportedly measured)
Click Here Boban looks at least a good inch taller than Porzingis

@Canson, that Scott/Harris picture is taken sideways, so it's pretty bad angle. Here is much better

Scott and Harris are both just under Boban's mouth level. Boban again 7'3.5 range there.

So, no need for downgrading Boban, he really doesn't look under 7'3 if we look at photos with at least decent angles. 7'4 is surely a stretch, but 7'3.5 very plausable.
Canson said on 16/May/21
7’1.25 Kristaps Porzangis with Boban. That’s an inch between them

It’s silly to believe both guys really grew that much. Porzangis would’ve been 20 at the time he was measured. They gave them those measurements in 2019 to keep them at their listed heights
Canson said on 16/May/21
@Editor Rob: here he is with Mike Scott (6’7.25 pre draft) likely not more than 6’7” flat and 6’6.5 pre draft Tobias Harris (likely 6’6 or 6’6.25)

Boban is not under 7'3 for sure. Here he is with Lamarcus Aldridge, who is a strong 6'10.

Very good picture, both men standing tall, side by side, angle is just about perfect. Boban appears 7'3.5 there. Most likely he is what he claims, so Rob's listing is close enough.
Canson said on 24/Mar/21
@Ellis: I honestly believe they measured Boban and Porzangis in shoes. If you knock off maybe 1.25” it brings you to 7’2.25 and 7’1.25”. Maybe if an inch 7’2.5 and 7’1.75”. Or they could be very early

@Ellis: I saw an inch but it’s possible KP is 7’1 flat too
Ellis said on 11/Mar/21
@Canson: Although that is true, I don't think that measurement really lines up with how Boban appears. What I mean, is that he typically looks over an inch taller than Porzingis(look at the media day pictures, KP is straight as can be, Boban is relaxed and still at least an inch taller). Unless Porzingis is sub 7'1 which I doubt would Boban be 7'2.25. I think it is like this,
Boban: 7'2.75 at a low
Kristaps: 7'1.25 at a low
(I do agree that 7'3.25 is quite high for a low for Boban)
Canson said on 3/Mar/21
Measured 7’2.25” previously. He’s not 7’3.5”. Lebron James also “measured 6’8.5” and Porzangis 7’2.75 when he was 7’1.25 when he was drafted. The latter is still the same height and Boban is an inch taller

He's got alot of spine. 7'4" out of bed, 7'2.5" at a low. 7'3" is a fine listing, a good median between his out of bed and low.
drivefosho said on 9/Nov/19
I saw Boban Marjanovic play against Jonas Valencuinas of the Memphis Grizzlies and Boban made Valenciunas look like a boy and Jonas is supposed to be 7 ft. tall. Boban is definitely well over 7 ft. Maybe 7 ft. 4 in? And much stronger than Valenciunas.

Ellis said on 12/Oct/19
7'2 3/4s at a low, wakes up at around 7'4. After an hour he got measured at 7'3.5, and 7'2 Porzingis got 7'2.5. Looking at the pictures Boban is barely taller than KP, the footwear probably benefits KP, but yeah, it all makes sense now that KP is a good amount taller than Embiid, the dude is 7'2.

He must have gained some height
Wingspanpro said on 7/Oct/19
7'3.25 is good for him. Not lower:)
Ellis said on 26/Sep/19
@Rob Paul: I agree with the upgrade, Boban makes Joel Embiid look pretty small. Pretty sure Boban is taller than Porzingis, they are both listed at 7'3, so I doubt KP is actually 7'3, while Boban is sitting right below his 'listed' height. I'll give Boban 7'2 3/4, which is quite literally 7'3. Porzingis on the other hand is a mystery, he hasn't been on the court in years. However, for Luka Doncic, I doubt he is 6'6.5, although it is possible, I feel as if he is more 6'5.75 or 6'6 flat(a fellow Maverick player).

KH said on 29/May/19
Boban was born about 20 years too late. He is too slow for the modern NBA so despite being a very skilled big guy he gets run off the court when teams go small or have a center that can shoot from the outside. In the 80's and 90's when he big guys stayed in the paint all the time he would have been a star instead of a back up like he is now. A really sweet man. Reports are he kicked somebody fifteen feet in a stunt for the latest John Wick movie. They thought he would only be able to kick the guy 8 feet lol. They had to do an immediate retake because he ruined the shot by apologising afterwards.

True but also not true. I stood next to a guy in an elevator who said he was 6'10, which made sense since I was looking right at his chin (I'm 6'5.5"). It felt weird as hell at first, but I got used to it and kinda felt bad for him. 7'2 is a whole different level of freakish, and I'd hate to be anywhere near that height.
