RE: three little maids from school are we....

Joe Dumars was probably a top-five NBA player
at his peak; I never thought he got the credit 
he deserved.  Yeah, I didn't mean to imply that
JF was 6'8"; but unlike some "6'1"" guards who
are really 5'8" (like, say, Dana Barros) this
guy has decent height for a shooting guard.  I
think it's nuts that people now expect an off-guard
to be 6'5" minimum.  6'3 and a half is plenty big
enough for a shooting guard, particularly one who
isn't expected to post up or beat small forwards.

Look at where his shoulder in in relation to JJ's in the picture. Just
because he's wearing his hat funny doesn't mean he's as tall as JJ and KB.
Also, wasn't he measured at 6'3" 1/2 or so at the predraft camp? Still,
he's taller  and allegedly more athletic than Dumars or Lindsey Hunter  -
similar 1-2 'tweeners' who've had successful careers.
