Mavs Media Day 2012 Coverage

[Lor20]

i know the perspective distorts slightly but it seems about right with dirk and kaman just over 7' with shoes, marion just over 6'8, Mayo is almost at 6'6.5 with shoes. DC is at 6'2.5" so not as short as some of the pages make them seem.

we're going to have a sick free throw shooting team this season:

Collison 85.3
Mayo 81.7
Marion 81.2
Dirk 87.8
Kaman 74.1

Brand 73.9
Jones 74.8
Carter 75.0
Roddy 81.5
Wright 68.5
Delonte 82.6

those are all career averages. most of these guys shot better last season than their career average.

A legit 6'5 in shoes now.

That dude coming for that #1 spot this year. All business

yeah its just funny as a fan of his. ive heard people make every excuse why he isnt going to make it and why he shouldnt be a starting two in the league. hes not tall enough, not athletic enough, blah blah blah. this is his year to prove all doubters wrong.

Also has the skillset to be a good defender and a point guard. Nice pairing with Collison, as both can get theirs as well as set others up. How about a big backcourt with OJ and Dahntay back there?

Thought this was an interesting read about Kidd comparing Dirk with Melo:

OJ for me still a 6'4"... I only believe he is a 6'5" if he would be wearing platform shoes.

Yeah you need to factor in that both Juice and Collison are closer to the camera, therefore they will look taller in comparison to everyone else ( the photographer told them to stand that way for a reason).

Collison measured in at 6'0.25 w/o shoes at predraft. Juice 6'3.25 w/o shoes. With shoes 1.25-1.75 inch increase. so it very well could put Collison at 6'2 and Juice at 6'5 w/ shoes.
