Can we please stop with the notion that Tristan Thompson is undersized? For center, perhaps, but, for power forward, he's actually ABOVE average size. He came in at 6'8.75" in shoes, which is about average for power forward height, but his standing reach of 9'0.5" and wingspan of 7'1.25" pushed him to actually be slightly above average in length. His initial weight of 227 was what made him "undersized" at the time, but he's probably floating around 250 now. Also, it's pretty clear that he's somewhere between 6'10" and 6'11" now in height based on both pictures and what Fred said. That puts Thompson's standing reach somewhere in the 9'1.5" range most likely, and that's only if his arms didn't grow either. It's arguable that, based on length, he's actually of average size for even a center since centers don't rebound with their heads.
