Kristaps Porzingis is a player who inspires many debates. The arguments range from what nickname best suits him—Godzingis and Three-Six-Latvia are both gaining traction after he said he was not a fan of Zinger—to his potential as a player, but one of the most common things to ponder is his height.
Pre-draft reports indicated he was at least 6 feet 11 inches, but scouts said he was much taller. When he showed up at Barclays Center for the draft, he towered over the 7-footers, Frank Kaminsky and Willie Cauley-Stein, so people began to make their own wide-ranging estimates.
