is fultz really growing

[rollie mass]

They are even reporting his shoe size at 15 and 6-10 wingspan -what is his true height?
He doesn't have that lanky i'm going to grow look- i did google mans growth after 18
It happens-its a shame everywhere you look at stats they are different-

A couple of things.

Fultz is already in two extreme outlier groups of the human population
>6'2 humans
>Size 12 Mens Shoe Size
Thus even if you use just NBA players, there is actually very little data that would show a scientific correlation between these two rare subsets of humans that he fits in.
For every NBA player that shows the correlation, there's probably a 5'9" guy with size 16 shoes or 6'5 guy with size 10 shoes that would non-correlate.

That being said, it's been repeatedly shown that your hands and feet grow the fastest during puberty, much faster than the bones nearest to your torso. http://lee.ifas.ufl.edu/fcs/FCSPubs/Fact_Sheets/Growth_and_Development_13-17.pdf

So maybe he has a chance to grow an extra inch or two.. But don't get your hopes up too much, reports are that he had already grown 4-5 inches between his freshman and junior years in HS.

Like so many others, Fultz's rise started with a growth spurt. [Coach] Jones says he shot up four or five inches from the end of his freshman year to the beginning of his junior year. When his grassroots team DC Blue Devils joined the Under Amour league, Fultz's exposure sky rocketed. At every major event he attended, he impressed scouts more and more.

Yeah, I'm 5'9" with size 13 shoes and a wingspan shorter than my height.  I've had size 13 since the 7th grade -- I was so excited when the doctor said it looked like I'd at least be 6 feet tall, but I peaked at 5'9" in 9th grade.

You probably should not started smoking back then

I'm pretty much like saltover.  I did not grow much at all past the 9th grade.  And if
The stories about fultz are accurate, they say he was 5'9" as a sophomore, then he actually grew about seven inches from then. 

I highly doubt he is still growing.

About a month ago, Jonathan Givony of draftexpress was a guest at the Vertical with Chris Mannix and he said Fultz is 6'6. Can't find a link right now.

That being said, in this photo Ainge and Fultz look about the same height. Ainge is 6'4-6'5 so I guess Fultz must be 6'4-6'5 as well??

Looks like DA was listed at 6'5" as a player.  I agree they look about the same but Ainge is wearing dress shoes versus sneakers for Fultz.  Also, men tend to shrink with age so would not be surprised if DA was an inch or so shorter today. 

All told, I'd guess that Fultz is not taller than 6'4".

[boscel33]

and yet he's still about a half foot taller that IT4.

I'm not saying he should replace him this year, but when it got physical, IT4's game suffered.

You have to take into account the perspective.

No question.  Looking at their waist line, their shoulders, difficult to tell but it looks pretty close to a tie.  Ultimately, fultz is a bit further away (making fultz look shorter) but the shot is also slanted a bit, going up from left to right (making fultz look taller).

Keep in mind that photo images can be very deceptive. This could be a bad angle for Fultz or there could be issues relative to depth considering Fultz is farther away from the camera than Danny.

I'm the opposite. I was supposed to be 6'11, and stopped growing at 6'3 in 6th grade. However, my arms and hands didn't get the message, so I have a 6'9 wingspan and big hands. My feet also didn't get the message, so I wear a size 12.

Don't look at me I'm hideous.

I would guess Fultz to be between 6'3 and 6'4. Ainge was always listed at 6'5 but in the pic he is wearing loafers. Also, Ainge has probably shrunk as much as an inch since his playing days. Fultz has on shoes with a thick sole, running shoes, so he appears taller then he normally would. Combine this with the camera angle and I am saying Fultz is actually slightly shorter then Ainge.
