The difference is that you can't influence if you have a long neck, long head, or whatever. But you can wear shoes like that:
I'm looking at SFs on DX that are listed taller w/o shoes than Gordon...
Harrison Barnes is 6'7 with a 6'11.25 wingspan
Smove 6'7 and 7'
Deng 6'7 and 7'0.5
Gay 6'7 7'3
LBJ 6'7.25 7'0.5
George 6'7.75(assumed to have grown further since) 6'11.25
Jeff Green 6'7.75 7'1.25
Durant 6'9(general opinion he's taller than that now) 7'4.75
So except Durant and George(assumed) there is no significant difference in height. Wingspans are higher compared to Gordi...
Now you add 6'5 GR3 with a 6'9 wingspan to the table. Yeah like that's gonna look good.
Other possible SF players measuring around 6'5:
Brandon Rush 6'5 6'11.25
Caron Butler 6'5.25 6'11.5
Influence eh? Well that's better than nothing I guess. When he plays those SFs above next year just take note of how helpless he looks at times. The board consensus of drafting Jabari Parker as our last great piece probably wouldn't be so popular if we thought deep down that Hayward was really legit at SF.
I have to admit I didn't pay too much attention to Hayward in the past, but I felt the board concensus was he's a bossy SF who should operate more with the ball in his hands even though he's currently bad at it and one day he might be nominated for 1 or 2 all star games. And he can defend better than his skin tone suggests.
I'll take a look at it. But from the pure numbers Gordon doesn't look to outmatched against others.
But do you see it too how ridiculous these shoe measurements are? 1.5 inches average increase in height aren't shoes. The sneakers I'm wearing are giving me between .5 and .75 inches. These guys are standing on their toes and elevate their heels to strengthen their draftstock and whatever it might help for future negotiations.
They should just measure them in socks:
Height + Wingspan + Standing reach(w/o shoes - nowadays it's in shoes afaik). Then you have comparable physical data. How good one can utilize his leaping skills is something for eye testing to do. These max verts and no step verts aren't that important to me when trying to sort players.

I used to like them, but after watching so many of these videos, I find myself hitting mute nowadays.
Nah for me the first is kind of an epic theme. Would totally pumped to hear that at team introductions.
Btw the first one this offseason was on Exum and he used new tunes. But with my first and hopefully only ever youtube comment asking him to use the old music again I might have not done you a favor.
Further research let me find this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnL43o1ukr4
Please note: This is 2011. 2 years ago video editing of them was THIS epic xD

a couple random thoughts:
- Dario saric may have hurt himself a little but he wasn't awful. he just doesn't look like he has improved that much. (euro basketball)
- I think it is time to trade tomic. solid bench player would help a lot of teams. regretfully probably only get a second for him. was decent in euro basketball. would be a good fit for the clips, spurs, Miami and probably a few others.
- I am still praying for a top 7 pick.
