Technique and brute strength can get the job done. 6'5" might push the limits but as you mentioned...it's still doable. |

SMU won the league in 16/17 with a 6-man rotation that was pretty short in height. They went something like 6'6, 6'3, 6'5, 6'5, 6'7, 6'8.
We could possibly duplicate that with a line-up of Jaevin, Jarron, Keith, Moore/Prince, and Diarra/Scott. |

You can combat being a 6’5 power forward with long arms, elite athleticism and a strong wide frame. Charles Barkley was like 6’4 but had near 7 ft wingspan, and a wide frame.
Also... There are different kinds of athleticism. Having a elite 2nd jump helps guys who are short because they can make their second jump quicker. Prince looks to have pretty athleticism. I think he ends up being really good Last edited by justinhub2003; 05-23-2019 at 12:23 PM. |

I found a solid source. Very interesting article by the way on pre draft measurements. This was from 2006. I wish they had his wingspan for him because I seem to remember it being considerable. The reason they are talking about 6'5.5" vs 6'6" is because the article said some players hurt themselves by wearing lower shoes. .75" vs the average 1.25" sole. Hicks must have been one of them...lol! He could have measured in 1/2" (or more) taller with the right shoes.
Take Cincinnatis Eric Hicks for example. The Cincy website listed him at 66. He came in at 64.75 w/o shoes and only managed to squeak out 65.5 with shoes. For him, a solid 66 would have probably looked better than the 6 5½ he just recorded. A future in Europe is almost certainly in his near future. - Source: http://www.draftexpress.com/article/...urements-1349/ ©DraftExpress |

BOYS- We have smoke. Cumberland just deleted the picture off Instagram of him thanking Bearcat Nation. It may mean nothing, but this is good news. Please cite KennyFreaseLeftEye when the news breaks. You heard it here first. Cumby is coming home.
