Is Tatum 7'...

[Bankshot]

or close to it?  Last night I heard Van Gundy say he looks 7' or 7'1".  Did he grow since the start of the season? Or is it his long arms make him look taller?  If he's not 7', is it possible he can get there?

There were unconfirmed rumors that the Celtics thought he could grow taller than he was at the combine (6'8'').

His lanky arms make him look taller too.

He wasn’t at the combine.  His last public measurement was 2016.

This would be disappointing, since it's much more fun to talk about a 6'8 guy with 6'11 wingspan than a 7'0 guy with a 6'11 wingspan.

Guess we should trade him.

Good call. I just meant his most recent measurement. My fault.

I don't think he's 7 ft. I do think he's about the same height as horford or occasionally looks 1/2 - 1 inch taller.

 we basically might have the next Durant on our team. Judging by the Lakers lack of success and ingrams lack of productivity , it won't be Ingram that's for sure

I don't think he's 7' but he looks all of 6-9 or 6-10.

And if he's still growing, that 6-11 wingspan sure looks suspect too.

Either way, it's fun watching him develop, finding new places on the floor to attack the opposing team's defense. As time goes by, he'll discover more and better opportunities just as Paul Peirce did.

The Kid's going to be quite a weapon...and shortly.

I'd guess 6-9 with a chance to grow to 6-10 if the growth plate rumors are true.

I remember some Duke fans saying he might be 6-10 last year, for what its worth.

No

He is still slightly shorter than Horford. A smidge...

Horford is 6'10 in shoes. So guessing Tatum is 6'9.5

Tatum wingspan and reach look exceptional for his frame though.... Guessing 7'1 wingspan and 9'0 reach

The way he keeps getting blocks on the perimeter indicate offensive players don't think he is that tall. 

[chilidawg]

Just hyperbole from jvg.  I don't think he was being serious, just noting that he's long.

His anticipation to block perimeter jumpers is exceptional also... Better than close to the rim
