NBA Summer League 2026

Bobby Krivitsky: The Celtics have officially announced the signing of Amari Williams to a two-way deal. And while there has been talk about a growth spurt this offseason, they still list him as 7'0" tall.

A growth spurt at 24?  That would be exceptionally unusual.  Is he joking?

It was one of those fake, easily debunkable click bait posts on social media.

Actually, there might be some truth to it.  He measured at 6-11 in the draft process last year, and was listed as that last year in Maine, while he is now officially listed as 7 feet.  Not sure he is 7-2, as the rumors say, but his height was raised, which is pretty unusual.

It could be that he measured 6'-11.25" last season (rounded to 6'-11") and this year he measure 6'-11.75" and they rounded that up to 7'-0".  If he grew 0.5" or more, I'll take it but more likely, he just had better posture or more hair or something.

He was listed at 7 foot on the ESPN website last year.

Most likely correct.  Even last year on draft night some were listing him at 7 feet, which is what he was listed at Kentucky.  That said, having seen him very up close in Maine (got to interact with him briefly before a game) I can attest that he is very large.  Like noticeably bigger than other pro-basketball players large, so I guess some part of me wants to believe he did grow.

His pre-draft official NBA measurement was 6-10.5 last year, no shoes.  He did not take a measurement in shoes.  So 6-11 at the start of the season was rounding up.  Official heights are supposed to be without shoes, so if he is listed at 7-0, he has to be at least 6-11.5.  Maybe he was slouching last May, but he might have actually gained an inch or so.

Acuff Jr is a stud. He is going to be a good player.

Just a reminder that Cenac Jr. was ranked higher than Wilson coming out of high school.

14/10/4 aint bad either.

My glasses are full-on green-tinted around this time every year.

I watched that game on replay. Very impressive performance from Caleb. He has a ton of upside. Tall,
Long, and athletic.  Him and Boozer were going at it. Coward looked really good, too. Will be interesting to see what sort of jump he makes year two.

Finally the Spurs didn't choke to New York...70-49 SAS take down NYK in SL and get their revenge

Peterson, Wilson, Boozer & Acuff going to their teams was a blessing for them. They can, in the future, be stars on their team if they can develop and put in the work

Minny give 2nd round pick Isaiah Evans a 4yr deal. He was picked 33rd overall. He was a green room invitee and the only green room invitee (24 of them) not to get selected in the 1st round.

I was hoping the Celtics would take him in the second round.

I was hoping we?d take him in the first round. I still think he?s going to be a baller.

Caleb Wilson could be like a modern day Jermaine O?Neal. Jermaines rookie year he was listed at 6?11/225lbs. He was lanky and could run the floor. He bulked up once he got to Indy.
