<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Coach Scott Skiles watched Thabo Sefolosha in person for the first time Thursday night in Bulls mini-camp and came away impressed. "He stood out in last night's practice," Skiles said of the guard from Switzerland after Friday's workout. "He has a lot of nice things he can do." Skiles' review was somewhat tempered because mini-camp is made up of rookies and second-tier players trying to break into the league. It remains to be seen how Sefolosha will fare against A-listers such as Kirk Hinrich, Ben Gordon and Luol Deng. Still, Skiles liked the way Sefolosha passed and penetrated. "Thabo has one thing going for him," Skiles said. "He already has played professionally, much like when [Andres Nocioni] came over here. He has a lot of experience." Sefolosha and fellow first-round draft choice Tyrus Thomas received clearance to participate in mini-camp Thursday afternoon and are gearing up for summer-league play in Orlando next week. The rookies needed an exemption because they won't sign their contracts until Wednesday. Standing tall Most basketball players exaggerate their height, but Sefolosha's has been understated. The NBA's draft media guide listed him at 6 feet 5 inches, but the Bulls rookie said Friday that 6-7 is more exact. Indeed, he looks like a legitimate 6-7, which will be a relief for fans who have wanted management to add some height in the backcourt.</div> http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baske...ack=1&cset=true
I think this is two inches since he was last measured at the Orlando pre-draft camp. No way he grew two inches in two weeks.
All the profiles I've seen listed him a 6-6 to 6-7. When I saw this topic I thought he would be like 6-8 or 6-9. But, it's good that Skiles likes him.
I just noticed that I was under the impression he was now at least 6’9”. I think the Bulls where just misinformed about his height because I was always under the impression he was at the very least 6’7”. I am sure; when they measured him, he was 6’7” in shoes. Oh, well he still has good height for a shooting guard/small forward.
