So if Chris Roberts is really 6-3, then how tall is Osiris Eldridge, really?
Eldridge is billed as 6-3, but we all know that the heights are often significantly exaggerated. We just saw where good evidence proves that Ryan Hare, who is billed as 6-4, may be a couple inches or more less than that.

Then we have seen from the NBA predraft measurements, that a lot of players are routinely measured at up to 2 or more inches less than they've been billed at.
Kevin Love was billed at 6-10 but was actually measured at 6-7 3/4.
Michael Beasley was listed as 6-10 at Kansas State but was actually measured at 6-8 1/4 WITH shoes on and 6-7 in bare feet!
Joey Dorsey was billed at 6-9 and was only a little over 6-6.
Reynaldo Balkman was and still is billed at 6-8 but was measured at only 6-5 1/4.

But oddly, some players stand out as quite honest...
Patrick O'Bryant was billed as 7-0 and WAS a 7-footer!
Kevin Durant was listed in college at 6-9 and WAS measured precisely at 6-9 in the NBA predraft camp.
Danny Granger was 6-8 in college but actually was 6-9 when measured.

So I have two questions....
--Why and how do players get away with such gross inaccuracy and exaggeration?
--and who will be the big "liars" this year at the 2010 NBA predraft camp?
Will Osiris Eldridge really be 6-3? Or will he be closer to 6-1 as I suspect since I have seen him standing right next to our guys who make for a good comparison.
Tim Jankovich is under 6-ft, so, again.....just how tall is OE?
