While photos are notoriously problematic, I can't help but compare player heights. lol

It's also worth noting that BBR has not kept up with nba.com, so definitely check the later if you want to see a player's current listed height.

For instance, while some people like to say Donovan Mitchell is 6'1" he's listed at nba.com at 6'3" and looks every inch of it next to Darius (who's actually listed at 6'1").

Isaac listed at 6'5" looks every bit as "long" as Caris in the shoulders who's listed at 6'6". Given players don't typically contest shots with the forehead, this is relevant.

nba.com lists Emoni Bates at 6'8" while some have stated him as being 6'10". He's too far away from Dean to make this comparison any good, but he appears slightly shorter than Dean who's listed at 6'9".

Emoni is also leaning down with right foot so may appear shorter, but since the curb is curved he is closer to the camera potentially appearing taller depending on the lens

Tristan looks tiny in that photo.

[ijspeelman]

they ran a gorgeous off-ball play for a Mitchell movement three... that didn't go in

but i liked it

[JonFromVA]

Tristan looks tiny in that photo.

His eyes look only slightly below Dean's.

TT was measured at just 6'7.5" at the draft combine. If he grew a whole inch, he'd still only be 6'8.5" or on the short side of 6'9" while Dean is probably a little over 6'9".

The defense has been electric today

probably could have been easier finish, but a win is a win. was fun to see all the stuff the guys including the broadcast were up to in France

hope Strus' injury is just precautionary and he's back on Monday

Mitchell with the 45 piece.

[JonFromVA]

Brooklyn started playing harder on defense in the second half, but they couldn't do much to stop Mitchell even with all their lengthy wings including Bridges trying to slow him down.

On the downside our embryonic motion offense got bogged down and losing Strus to knee soreness surely didn't help.

Nets fans interest in Mitchell is likely peaking, but my interest in their players is waning. Supposedly their collection of picks from the Suns is pretty valuable, so maybe they can be flipped in a 3-way to make a trade work that let's them keep Bridges, Claxton, and a Cam or two.
