I’ve never understood why we try to minimize our players. Dayton — like most schools — measures their players in shoes, which, depending on make and inner padding, may add anywhere from half an inch to an inch. And last time I checked, basketball players wear shoes on the court. That tells me Josh and Trey are pretty close to their listed heights on the court.

I remember the same thing being said about Chris Wright: “He’s more like 6-6 or 6-7.” Well, the NBA measured him a quarter inch less than 6-8 out of shoes. And guess what, he was listed at 6-8 in the NBA and in the G League. Ditto Chris Johnson at 6-6.

I’m not saying height-hyping doesn’t happen, but I’ll bet Trey is closer to his listed 6-5 than he is 6-3.

Just sounding off. I now return you to the thread topic.
