    Hello darkness, my old friend
    6'5'' is not his physical size...it's the size he plays up to, with his intelligence and heart.

    He's really just over 5' tall.

    So it's either official NBA pre draft measurements, or HCP's post beer drinking eye balling it? This IS a tough choice.

    Kidding aside, I believe the pre draft measurements, but when I watched on the justin tv feed, there was a moment that Wes and Rudy were next to each other, and Wes did look shorter. It could have been the angle, or the body shape as well.

    Yet KP brought in the three examples you name after we quit getting high picks. Go figure.

    Go Blazers

    Damn! He came out at Fan Fest? He sure is fearless! I'll have to tell the guys at outsports.com.

    I saw a picture of Roy standing next to Matthews. They looked like they were the same size.

    It was in that long list of pics that people were posting after the first couple days of camp. I really don't feel like going back through and finding it, especially when we have facts, also known as pre-draft measurements.

    Pre-draft measurements don't lie.

    Wiki.org (or whatever)

    all list him at 6 foot 5, yet someone is stating that he is actually 6 foot 3?

    Ah, a praise for Matthews thread turns to rip on Oden. Cool. Got it.

    Interesting to watch the Media Day live chats and see how many players cited Matthews as a pleasant surprise.

    Based on what we saw at FanFest, I'm wondering if Hollinger's sleeping on Wes a bit:

    Is he saying Wes will average 15 a game? More like 8 if you ask me, which is fine with me. We brought him in as a role/defensive player.
