47-78, 60.3% free throws
6.0 rebounds per game
1.043 assists per game

Looks to me like he'll help out inside."I think we'll be OK"

I've noticed that coming out of High School he was listed as 6'8".LET'S TAKE A TRIP TO BIRDLAND! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68-6O2mJhMw

The interesting thing is the team is lined up along a masonry wall. Masonry block are 8" in height, so you can tell how tall players are when they are standing next to a masonry wall. The mortar between the block are at 5'-4", 6'-0" and 6'-8". If you look at the picture you can see that Anthony Davis is about 2 inches taller than the 6'-8" mortar line. So he is either 6'-10" or 6'-2". I would say he is 6'-10". Here is a link to the team picture.

Nice work NorCal. I've got a couple of questions? Does the bottom of the masonry block start at the concrete or the wood floor? Is he 6'10 in his sneakers? What if he were in his socks? What do you estimate his wing span at?LET'S TAKE A TRIP TO BIRDLAND! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68-6O2mJhMw

Originally posted by NorCalJack View PostWell if you want to get technical about it I guess I can go there for you, but this may bore some people, but here it goes. The concrete floors and wall footing elevations are at the same elevation. In fact they are typically poured at the same time. Technically masonry block is 7"-5/8" in height and the mortar between the block is 3/8". So when you add them together they add to an even 8". After the footing is poured you can't just lay a block onto the concrete, you have to put 3/8" of mortar onto the concrete footing. So the first block is placed 3/8" above the concrete footing or the concrete floor. So to answer your question, the bottom of the first masonry block is probably within a 1/4" to 1/8" from the top of the wood floor.
I can't see his feet in the picture, but I would assume he is in sneakers and therefore I would conclude that he is 6'-10" in sneakers.
I'm not sure where you are going with this question, but I hope he plays basketball in sneakers. If he does, then I don't care how tall he is in socks.
Well since his arms are behind his back and part of the wall is covered with padding I can't tell. If he arms were extended parallel to the floor then you could estimate his wing span. The masonry block in the photo is an 8x8x16 precision block in a stacked bond pattern. This block is 15"-5/8" long in the horizontal dimension and the mortar between the block is 3/8", so the block are 16" apart in the horizontal dimension. Because it is a stacked bond pattern it would be somewhat difficult to estimate. If the block was laid in a running bond pattern, you could estimate his wing span much more precisely.

Re: 2008-09 Recruits
Any one from CLarinda Iowa has to be okay whether he is 6'10 or 5'10. Clarinda is the hometown of the legendary Glen Miller, orchresta leader who was lost at sea apparently in WWII. The pep band needs to learn to play "In the Mood" if they don't already know it. Anthony Davis is going to be a big help even if he is only 6'8".
