My understanding is that Sheed is 6'10 in barefeet. Shoes generally add 1 1/2 inches, which is how you typically get the offical NBA listing. It's the team's (and player's) call whether to round up or down. Amir's height, when drafted, was supposedly 6'8 (barefoot). It's concievable that he's now 6'9 barefoot, and standing 6'10 1/2 in shoes, in which case you could list him at 6'11. I wouldn't, but I guess you could. 6'10 seems to be a honest listing.

Jason Maxiell was measured at 6'6 1/2 in shoes by the NBA, before he was drafted..
