Didn't see anyone talking about it. Several OSU & UT fans on other boards have speculated about Blake Griffin's real height & wether he'd get physically manhandled at the next level ("Every NBA team has guys as big, strong & athletic...", etc), so I looked up this year's & previous NBA combine numbers.
I only included the big men who've had success in the NBA (except for Greg Oden, plus locals Taj Gray & Sheldon Williams just for the heck of it).

Don't really see all those dozens of monsters that are bigger, stronger & jump higher that some think there are in the NBA right now, lol.
Let me know if you'd like to see data on someone I left off & I'll add it (can only go back to the 2002 draft though). I probably left out somebody good.
