    He has been measured at the NBA draft combine at 5' 10.5" without shoes and 5' 11.75" with shoes. He is a legit 5'11" and could even be listed at 6'0".

    I don't get why some of you are saying he is smaller than 5'11" when it's an undisputed fact that he is that size.
    Sure, there's some exaggeration in this thread, but, even if he was six feet, which he doesn't quite appear to be, a six foot point guard is still on the low end of the bell curve for size at the position.

    I question the point of this post. I don't know my motivations so take this purely at face value:
    Did he say anything about the relative size between PG's and his place on the spectrum?

    I thought his point was that there were people saying this guy was 5'8" and such and he was clarifying and questioning those specifics... specifically.

    So why are you responding with bell curves and what end of the spectrum this guy is on with Bruno?
    With all due respect, of course...

    I know he was referring to people saying the kid is 5'9", etc, but I was just explaining that a lot of the exaggerating about him being short is somewhat understandable. He is not a tall point guard. Nor is he even average height. He is of below average height. Sure, the posts have been wrong about his height, here, but coming back and saying "but he really is almost 6' tall" isn't exactly a ringing endorsement of his stature.

    Why would anyone exaggerate his height when his exact height is known?

    And why spend all this time justifying this kind of hand wringing over a Toro?

    For the first part of your questioning: Who knows.
    The second, for which is the reason I am responding to this: Because I asked.

    average height of american male is 5 feet 9.7 inches.

    he is apparently 5 feet 10.5 inches
    I thought I was being pretty clear that he was of below average height for a point guard in the NBA. Of course, he is of completely adequate height to stand in line with us at Walmart.

    One can, but it's a stupid idea. I'm not at all surprised you would do it.

    Yeah that's pretty good gain for one year. At least we know he isn't genetically scrawny no matter how hard he tries, like Austin Daye was.

    More weight is good. It's not like he can get any slower. Right?

    Since I read the Spurs signed this kid, I looked at several youtube clips. Highlights show he has some hoops. One thing I noticed that stands out, he has a great 1st step when you drives. He can hit the step back 3 pt shot and if the defender crowds him, he can go around him. His stats from college are against lesser schools but he showed he was a good ball handler and shooter.

    Just a word to TP, PM and RM. Get your butts in gear or this kid will be knocking on the door.

    Pop said the last preseason games that he'll play the rotation.

    Sykes was given the opportunity to play. Bonner, Fredette, Ndoye and Thomas didn't log a single minute.

    Butler seems to already in the inside track, so that means that either Bonner or Fredette get cut.

    However if Sykes stays, then both Bonner and Fredette get cut.
