As I suspected from looking at video last year, Duncan is closer to 6'6" than he is to 6'8. Adrian was listed at 6'6 when he played.

Constructive criticism is great but some people on this site can't take it when it is directed towards them. They have baby hisses and call people names.

So, how did he become a four**** star player with all of his flaws? Especially since shooting is a major part of the game. You would have thought that the people who assigned the stars would have seen all of these flaws. And what about his coaches? Since he was playing organize basketball at different levels, why didn't they notice these flaws? His height is whatever he says it is. Hopefully, he will grow another 2 to 4 inches.

His height is whatever he says it is. Hopefully, he will grow another 2 to 4 inches. Why are you taking this observation or any of the others as a negative. It is not. I simply remember looking at his video last summer and asking myself is he a legit 6'8 and I saw two scouts estimate his height at 6'6/6'7. As far as what he's said his height is, he's even said in interviews that he's 6'9. So when I look at a picture of him taken a few days ago standing beside someone who is 6'6, it comes together as a story. He's questioned all along why he's listed as a PF when he sees himself as a position-less player. I'm just doing as all fans do which is project in my own mind where and how he might fit this Fall/Winter. Coach Jones wants to build around him. Doing that at 6'6 may be somewhat different than doing it at 6'9. That's all I'm saying. It has nothing to do with his 4-star rating or his ball skills. As our athletic programs mature to become better and much more competitive, I think we need to mature as hard core Aggie fans also. No longer can we simply be 'cheerleaders' for EVERYTHING. Mature fan bases are engaged and can have a healthy dialog about their athletic programs. That's how improvement happens. We have 1000 guests that peep in and look at what we say. They do that for a reason. Some people ignore what they read, some think differently because of what they read, and some just laugh at what they read. Hell, it's all about having fun anyway! R-E-L-A-X. Oh, I forgot we don't that in the Valley. LOL |

Many players, as well as people in general, have growth spirts before age 21. So maybe he is one of those guys. In looking at he and his cousin in their photograph, his arms appear to be longer than Adrian's and his shoulder slightly higher than Adrian's. So we can hope that he has not quite yet, reached his maximum height. |
