Players height is NOT recorded by their height in bare feet.

Do other players not wear shoes? Why do they provide the "with shoes" and "without shoes" measurements then? Last I checked my shoes aren't a part of my body. Quick, somebody jump into the combine measurement line with a pair of stilettos on!
This is a dumb argument. Dude is 6'0". I didn't say he can't do things on the court because of his height. Simply stating a fact. Devion Mitchell is 6'0".

Dude maybe the shortest lottery pick this year but it's all about the size of the fight in the dog & there's no one close to matching his intensity on court. I'm not worried about Davion, I'm worried about those who have to go against him.

In NBA terms, 6'1.25" in shoes comes out to 6'2" on roster sheets following the "always round up" rule. They've been doing it this way for as long as I can remember. You might as well take an inch off everyone's official height if you're wondering about Mitchell's height relative to other players, which is what actually matters right?

Some players have lifts in their shoes too.

Literally every NBA player’s official listed height is in shoes so for the purpose of the argument on an NBA forum, he’s not 6’0” unless you’re also gonna say Moses Moody is 6’5”, Cad Cunningham is 6’6”, and Joel Embiid is actually 6’11”.
Also, his name is Davion.

The official listed heights of ALL players in the NBA is with their shoes on.
For example, I'm 5'11.75 w/o shoes, but would be listed as 6'1 if I was in the NBA. I once stood next to Bobby Jaskson (listed at 6'1) and was the same height as him.

my guess is he’s gonna lead the 2nd unit this year and be a big spark plug for us. At times, when either Fox or Ty are having a bad game he can come off the bench and bring up the intensity for the starting unit. This team wants to win like any other team but we lack the confidence and heart. Ty was the beginning of the change of culture but Mitchell gonna be the one that instills the dog and the heart. I better see this team getting angry at opposing players for trying to push them around this year

NBA players aren't listed by speed and power, they're listed by quickness and strength, get it right.

I haven't seen any SL games, but just watched the last nights game highlights and I have to say, he looks freaking goooooood!!!!!
The way he dribbles and moves with the ball looks like another Mitchell - Donovan, but that defense, JUST WOW!!!
So far so good!

Particularly like this excerpt:
Mitchell divulged he had worked out at 8 a.m. for a few hours and then returned to the gym around noon for another hour or so workout before the 5 p.m. practice. The Kings then made the decision to pull him from practice.
“I just looked at him and said, ‘You really worked out twice before coming here? Bro, you can’t be doing that,’” Jackson said of his recollection. “He has an unbelievable work ethic. He’s a tough kid and competitive as they come. But we’ve definitely had to scale him back a little. He’s just wired differently.”
Mitchell said he’s heard that about himself.
“I just love the game of basketball,” Mitchell told Yahoo Sports. “I love competing. When you watch me out there, you can see I hate to lose. I play hard. What motivates me is this game.”

“I really don’t have any goals this season aside from making the playoffs and winning,” Mitchell said. “I’m just glad to be with the Kings, and I’m ready to work.”
i think it’s been a long time where our best players genuinely mean this (Fox, Ty, and Mitchell)

don’t trust publicized heights.
I met KJ once. He was listed at 6’1. Thought he’d be 5’11. Dude looked like he was 6’3 to 6’4 (with dress shoes on). Alternatively, AI was listed at 6 ft, but ran into him at a bar and dude was like 5’10 max.

Knowing Walton, I think we are going to see Mitchell and Haliburton kind of bounced around at times. One guy might play 40 minutes one night, 20 the next. Then flip flop the names.

I think it would make sense to keep Fox more fresh if possible with lesser mimutes so he can just go crazy in 4th quarters. He was 3rd in the league in 4th quarters last season

Well, that was just Walton being Walton so is it fixable? He just didn't grasp, and hasn't ever grasped the idea of rotations. He would play guys straight through and burn up players because it's just what he does. The minutes Fox and Barnes got were just right for what you need out of core players, but playing them 16-20 game minutes straight and sitting them for longer stretches in the middle of critical quarters ended up in the ways many of us were saying they would. With players ground to stump and racking up silly fatigue injuries.

Im not sure Fox really does or he wouldn’t be one of the worst defenders on the team. Mitchell is certainly going to get in his grill that’s for sure.
