Not to call you out Buddah but in person ( on the floor) Amir looks at best maybe 6'8". Granted I am looking down on him from my seats but he is noticably shorter than Sheed. I think the whole growth span was somekind of media misunderstanding. When Amir was guarding Gason he was way shorter.

Now Amir does seem to have the same speed as Tay. I don't get why he can't play the 3-4 for us?
So you are saying that Arnie Kander uses faulty equipment. Now that would be just great for us.

or

You are calling it a media misunderstanding if you like, but I don't believe the report is wrong, because there is no way that that Kander could have miscommunicated that kind of information.

All players who play the #3 shoot 3 points shots. AJ doesn't shoot three point shots except in practice or at the end of a quarter to beat the light.

In other Johnson news, A. Sherrod Blakely has an update on his official height:
Amir Johnson keeps on growing. Arnie Kander, Detroit’s strength and conditioning coach, said the 20-year-old is 6-foot-11 1/2. He was 6-9 in 2005 when the Pistons drafted him.
