Yeah, because we can totally see both of their legs and wether or not Kaminsky is bending his knees slightly :L

Anyways, is this really thread worthy to you?

You can at the very least tell they are at completely different angles

Kaminsky is behind him and to the left.

No way to tell. And as sting said...who cares lol

There were several pictures of them walking at the press conference, all like this one. I think WCS is most likely 7'1'' and Kaminsky 6'10. It was interesting to me in that WCS sisn't play last year and they are both listed at 7'. With WCS actually a good 2''-3'' taller, I think it is a really big deal for Saturday

This is the dumbest thread in SportsHoopla history. Willie is clearly in front of the chair next to the table. Frank is not only behind the chair, but appears to be against the wall. Anybody with any common sense can understand that Cauley-Stein would look taller.

You do realize Frank Kaminsky went to Adidas Nation last year, a camp which actually measures height. If he measured at 6'10, don't you think draft websites would list him at 6'10? And if Frank is 6'10, then Sam Dekker must be 6'7 or so, since Frank is 2-3 inches taller. Of course, Sam was also measured at 6'9 this summer and was still growing (so may be closer to 6'10 at this point).

So basically this thread asks, "Who do I trust, measuring tape at camps or a guy who doesn't understand how depth perception works?"

I don't blame you for the hate. You love your team and they are a heck of a squad. Doesn't change the fact that WCS is gonna lock Kaminsky down and UK is sending their ass home

this guy has a lot of built up hate for frank kaminsky...

OMG he might be an inch shorter than the whole world thinks OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

IF WCS does lock up frank, it has nothing to do with him being an inch taller...

Does not matter. Not surprising if he is a bit shorter. Lot of inflation in roster heights. It's nothing new. Kaminsky was never going to out athlete WCS or out-size him, his game is about skill and fundamentals. Fact is Wisconsin will lose if their players try to prove their mettle 1 on 1. Wisconsin needs to play team ball to win. Ball movement is the key to beating UK. Pick and rolls and back door cuts test a UK defense that has a very aggressive front court.

Height didn't seem to stop Notre Dame from getting to the rim to slam home several dunks. And all those 6'5" guards seemed to not be phased by UK's height advantage. Especially the last 15 minutes of their game when the Irish led all but about a minute in that span. I have the feeling that Wisconsin won't be intimidated by it either.

Notre Dame would beat a pro team. Almost did.

If only Frank was ONE inch shorter, then maybe Kentucky would've won

Does this mean the badgers would win the east?
