@Sotiris Gravas: Yeah Kareem definitely shrunk, in the picture with Joel, it actually leans towards Joels favor, but Kareem has got to be taller. If I'm right, Kareem has always been a guy who hasn't lost that much height considering his age. I'd reckon, Kareem is 7'1.25, and Joel is as listed.

7ft2 in sandals. That sandals would be real thick like 1.5-1.75" because Joel is probably 7'0 flat at his low.

@Lanky: I would hope so man, hopefully I'm still growing. 6'10 is very tall, you could probably get away with saying that you are 7 feet tall which is really cool. My growth pattern was unusual to, my parents sought me to be around 6'1 or 6'2, then I had a monster growth spurt at 14, I seriously think it was all the milk I drank lol. Anyways, thanks for your consideration.

@Ellis: If you want to grow a little more, there’s definitely hope there for you. I was a weak 6’9” at 18, and grew just over an inch over the next couple of years. Having said that, I think my growth pattern was a little unusual.
I can see you topping out at a strong 6’8” with a bit of luck.

@Canson: Hopefully, growing taller would be nice. I would make an argument that Joel Embiid grew ever since he was drafted, he came in probably at about 6'11.25, and he grew a little more than an inch.

Perception can vary with him. And at times He can look like he’s grown since he came in the league

Here he is with MCW who’s pre draft is 6’4.75 probably 6’4.25-.5 at a low (my height) and Noel

I just watched the Sixers play the Jazz and Embiid looked a fraction taller then Gobert to me. Its tough to tell with big guys because they rarely straighten up fully but he looked taller.

Before anything Joel Embiid gets a downgrade i would trust this listing. Although my previous estimate all along is a decent 7'0 not more.

@viper: What type of shoes are those lol, my shoes cover around 1.25 or maybe 1.5. I'm like 6'8.5 with shoes after 3 hours, I could maybe clear 6'9 with them right when I get out of bed idk, as of now the only measurement I know is after 3 hours currently speaking were I'm 6'7 1/8 barefoot.

@Christian 6'5 3/8: It's more like 1 1/8, but yeah I get it, it's a lot, but when I get up I'm at 6'7 and 1/3 just about, maybe a bit taller because I have pretty thick hair, when I let it grow out it gets really high. At midnight I'm a little above 6'6.25(but it's a paltry amount) and I stay there pretty much past 5-6 pm I don't shrink anymore. When I put on my shoes I easily clear 6'8, I can definitely give off the impression if my hair grew out that I'm 6'9 at the height I am at now, but I can't because my hair is still true to the top of my head.

Yeah, i'm between 1.25 and 1.5 inches shorter than Christian and i lose between 1.9 and 2.3 cm normally. I think Ellis figure is believable. It's a very noticeable shrinkage though yeah.
But i think you should be happy enough being at "such a low" anyway heheh

Losing 1.25" is a lot even for a 6'6"-6'7" guy like yourself. I'm about an inch shorter than you and I lose 3/4"-7/8". (I wake at 6'6 1/8" frequently)

@Christian: the short legs can also influence the loss throughout the day I agree
@Ellis: he could potentially dip below 7’0” by a hair. I remember he said 7’2” in sandals but likely a morning height that’s slightly rounded up. Meaning he could be what you said very high 7’0” an hour out of bed like the combine or near 7’1” and measure 7’1.5 in sandals. I think he’d be same size as Shaq it not slightly taller to be honest

@Christian 6'5 3/8: That's why I said Joel may be a very high 6'11 in the night because a person of such a massive stature probably looses a lot of height over the day, he would probably wake up at 7'1 maybe a little taller. I as well am extremely tall, I wake up at around 6'7.5 maybe a little below and I go all the way down to 6'6.25. I go from my hair very well touching the top of the door frame, to it not touching it at all.
@Lanky: First off, you are extremely tall which is awesome! Second, I met Hassan Whiteside, he is probably around 6'11, now he was obviously taller than me but he did not dwarf me, his eye level was probably at the top of my head. I was wearing sandals while he had these big basketball shoes. It was also late in the day so I was a lot shorter, it's actually very noticeable that I shrink in the day which is crazy.

I know it’s not exactly scientific, but I’m 6’10” and my 6’ best friend met Joel and said he looked noticeably taller. Now in my experience, ‘normal’ sized guys don’t usually notice a difference in size between two people our size if there’s only an inch or so in it. I think 7’0.5” is a very fair listing.

@Ellis: afternoon heights is what they’re supposed to be which don’t vary much from evening. However for many Rob used the pre draft measurement and the majority of the ones here are half inch shorter than listed. I think Zinger would edge out Embiid. Zinger likely is still at least a strong 7’1” guy by how he appears whereas Embiid is prob a solid 7’0” tall

@Canson: So what you're saying is that these are nighttime heights on this website? If so, then 7'0.5 is too high, he might, at night, be a very high 6'11. 7'1 sounds right in the morning. Also how do you think Embiid would look standing next to Porzingis? I think Embiid Gobert and Porzingis are all around the same height range, KP is probably a bit taller though.

I think if we are talking an afternoon height which is the norm and the standard here on CH, he’s a solid 7’0”. We have to remember tho that he may wake to 7’1” or so in the AM at that size. That in sandals measurement could be a morning height. However, I don’t believe he’s 6’11”. He’s def a legit 7’0” tall today

Did he gain height after 20?Remember that this kind of men lose around 1.5" or even 2".I think he's comfortably over 7'1 maybe even 7'2 out of bed.But maybe 7'flat is just as well if he was measured at this mark?

@Rob: That is true, there are some examples of players growing after they were drafted, one in particular is Giannis Antetokounmpo, they said he was 6'8.5 when they first scouted him so he was listed at 6'9. I think he grew a little more than an inch and he was around 19 years old, now I think he is around 6'9.75 so he is listed at 6'11.
