Is this based on anything other than this guy’s best guess?
Trust me bro
Pretty sure this guy also said a Cheeto was 6-inches
Ain’t no way he falls to 5 if true

Hughes seems like an intelligent person, I doubt the difference between 5’11 and 6’0 would make a difference.
If he’s 6′ or even 6’1″ as some speculation has said, theres absolutely zero chance he makes it to 5.
Fuuuuuuuuuck.
I swear every year there are a few prospects that grow a couple of inches coming draft day just to go back to their regular advertised size coming boot camp. Go figure out how they do it is truly a mystery yet to be solved
It more and more feels like this guy won’t even be a possibility at 5. Crossing my fingers though
Arpon said on his podcast many people are saying he is at least 6, maybe 6 1
[Of note, I’m 5-foot-10, Demidov was probably about 2 inches taller than me. He’s not as short as people seem to have indicated.](https://x.com/seanshapiro/status/1803049285887377848?s=46&t=UR164vzk5fTru73XW2yVHQ)
He’s not the only one that says it.
Huge if true.
His real height is probably listed, pretty much every pro player lies by at least an inch usually more…
I could very much be mistaken but I watched like 70% of his games this season and he looks like a 5’11” – 6′ guy.
If he was 6’2″ or something we’d all know it by now cause it’s easy to tell.
I know a lot of fans are worried that Demidov (his nickname has to be Demigod, right?) won’t slip to 5 because of this (or other) news. But there’s still no guarantee Hughes and co. take him even if he is there at 5. I think we need to temper our expectations. This could be another Michkov situation – and a lot of that is based on behind the scenes scenarios that are happening that we won’t be privy to.
I would love Demidov at 5. But if Hughes and co. go in a different direction, they’ve earned our/my trust that even if they take someone else, we should believe in that player.
That being said, my #1 hope is Demidov.
HE’S BIGGER THAN WE THOUGHT! REPEAT! HE’S BIGGER THAN WE THOUGHT!! EVERYONE PANIC!!!!!!
Was he limping?
“I’m looking for a 2024 prospect, Power Forward, 6’5″, blue eyes; Power Forward, 6’5″, blue eyes”
Its official now that hes 6’1″
i mean if you’ve watched any of his highlights he doesn’t look 5’11
he looks kinda tall
They got him on that rocky 4 juice
Baffling that a teenager’s body can still grow. I am perplexed
