    it might be the camera angle or shoes...but Rupert was 6'6 w/o shoes; Murray was 6.7.75. Scoot looks considerably shorter

    It's all angle. There's another photo where he looks taller than Chauncey, but in this photo he looks shorter.

    To me, it's hard to tell but he looks about the same size as Steph in this video. Maybe slightly taller than Steph? Steph measured at 6'2 without shoes and 6'3.25 with shoes. So that would jive with what we were told. 6'2.5 without shoes and maybe 6'3.5 with shoes.

    Is there a reason Rupert is 72? Sure I just missed seeing the reason somewhere.

    Well here my take until they shore up the bench with quality players there not going anywhere anyway with or without Dame. They got three quality players in this year draft and 2 will probably play a lot. That's a step forward already now let see what the rest of off season plays out. Let see what kind leap that Walker does in year 2.

    If I’m the rest of the league I am terrified of what those two can become together.

    Watched on YouTube. They all seemed a bit abashed at first, not used to this, but started to relax. Interesting Chauncey comparing to Sharpe, who had a steeper learning curve. I am happy with all three.

    Very excited for all 3.

    Will this be like 2008 when we had elite prospects Oden debut as a rookie along with rookie Batum and rookie Rudy?

    Would be fun to see 3 great rookies this year, along with Sharpes sophomore season.

    It's something like a zipcode where he grew up.
