LaMelo Ball height officially listed at 6’8″ on Charlotte Hornets roster

The Charlotte Hornets’ roster was updated ahead of the team’s first preseason game on Saturday against Toronto and featured a particularly interesting bit of information.

LaMelo Ball’s height has been long speculated and even rumored ahead of the 2020 NBA Draft. Much of the speculation originally centered on a photo of LaMelo standing next to brother Lonzo in which the two looked to be the same height. At the time, Lonzo was listed at 6’7″ on the Pelicans roster.

Ahead of the 2020 NBA Draft, a rumor suggested, though, that LaMelo measured out at 6’6″ both in height and wingspan during the pre-draft process.
