Saw this as well.. He looks tall though on TV or on the court maybe bec of his long arms.

Lanky guys look taller than they are.

Seems crazy to me that Theis, RWill and JT are all the same height (give or take a couple of centimeters).

Also dang, Carsen Edwards is solid huh?

Several predraft profiles listed him as 6-8 without shoes, so it’s not really unexpected.

 He's a little taller, but about the same build as Barry Sanders. One of the greatest running backs of all time.

If Carsen Edwards is to the NBA what Barry Sanders was to the NFL then I'll be pretty happy

I think most of us were shocked when we read Timelord's height.

Problem is that now you have to compare these heights to all the other NBA players. 6'8'' (Williams) might be a normal size for a center now.

Honestly, nothing on this list surprised me that much.

I've always felt that standing reach and core strength were more important criteria for "size." I say standing reach because some NBA players have really long arms and high shoulders, and other don't. That let's you get more vertical. I say core strength because you have to be able to take impact and keep your arms up to defend shots.

I actually met Timelord at an STM post game meet & greet last season.  I do remember thinking that he did seem shorter than what he was listed at (6'10" maybe?). So can't say I'm terribly surprised there but still, 6'8".
