Grayson Allen predictions

There’s an article about Grayson Allen on the NBA website. The very last paragraph is what caught my attention the most.

The floater that Grayson took last night is something the had worked on that morning. If he can incorporate new skills and fine tuning into his game at an accelerated pace like that...

That’s something Mitchell is able to do.

Donovan mentioned it in his post game comments. I think Mitchell is pretty high on Allen.
 
Some internet research indicates that before the 80s, NBA player heights were listed as height without shoes. Then it changed to height with shoes without any central plan to change a 'regulation,' or anything like that. Further research indicates that there is significant variation to be expected in players' measurements depending on a range of variables. DX became something of a standard (but it isn't clear how they were gathering all their listed heights; and now that Givony is gone, will they be retained as a standard?); before that measurements were collated from several independent sources (i.e. motives unclear). Errors are expected if they are converted from metric system. Etc. Also, many of the youngest players grow after the measurement that was last published, and no efforts are made to update them (KD is the famous example). ...Hardly the work of a 'standard' -- unless your definition of standard is loose, sloppy AF, and generally unconcerned with facts.

When I say something is common knowledge that I’ve been aware of for 15+ years, I’m sorry I don’t have a reference for you. However, my statement stands: that by NBA standards, Grayson is 6’5”.

Grayson is somewhere shy of 6' 3" without shoes.
