NBA Draft Combine: Shoe-spiracy -- Which players cheated on height the most?

SLC Dunk — Every year you get some really funny stuff, mostly Duke guys, who are just way taller than we know they are. The classic Example in my mind is Shane Battier being like 6'10 in shoes at the draft combine in his year. See, Duke guys. Anyway, the shoes used at the combine are not standardized. As a result, there are height variations that need to be recognized -- someone may measure "better" but he may only be better because his shoes are better paired up with a strapless, black evening gown. (*I'm talking about high heels!* #ChristianLouboutin) I looked at all the dudes who were measured...

Is Thabo Sefolosha a new-age Shane Battier?

Welcome to Loud City — Zach Lowe of Grantland is my favorite NBA writer, and he wrote a terrific piece today on the value of finding a 3 tool role player like that of Shane Battier.

Orlando Pinstriped PostShane Battier has made a living for himself in the NBA by dint of his two best skills: defending opposing shooting guards and small forwards, and being able to shoot the three-pointer at a high percentage. Zach Lowe of Grantland set out to find the league's new Battiers--though the old one is still around--and explains their importance to the game the way it's played in 2013. "Defense and shooting are fundamental basketball skills," Lowe says. They have always been important.
