My guess is Yvan is anywhere from 6 to 8 inches taller than her. Lol still doesnt help depict how tall Yvan or the young lady is. Quote

If we look closely, we will notice that her hips are about 4 inches below his, and the top of her head appears to be about 8 inches below his. Also, he's standing pretty straight upright while she's leaning in to him a little bit so adjusting for the slope of the beach and factor in the sun angle and the direction of the wind lets put her at about 5'11 to 6'1" jayschool 1 Quote

FIBA's got her listed as 6'1" https://www.fiba.basketball/europe/u16women/2019/player/Clara-Djoko The average height of a human head is about 9 inches.* I'm assuming they're both standing normally. It looks like he could just barely rest his chin on top of her head. In which case, he might very well have grown over the off-season and is now roughly his listed height. In other words, he could be 6'9" now. * http://www.exatas.ufpr.br/portal/degraf_marcio/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2014/10/Catapan_Marcio_ID970.pdf Edited June 19, 2020 by Norm Peterson Quote

hhcmatt Posted July 9, 2020 Report Posted July 9, 2020 Yvan's birthday is March 22, 2002. Eduardo Andre was born some time in 2001. Depending on when Wood was born he still might be the youngest guy on the team Vinny 1 Quote

Huskerpapa Posted July 9, 2020 Report Posted July 9, 2020 Without exaggeration, that young man totally transformed his body. He has had to added a foot to his vertical as well. Wow, just wow. cornfed24-7 1 Quote
Fullbacksympathy Posted July 9, 2020 Report Posted July 9, 2020 That's a legit 36-37" vertical. Dude is eating green and lifting iron. Proud of you Yvan! Quote

Another by-product of this transformation should be more confidence and with that an elimination of small hesitations and more confidence on the catch and the subsequent following offensive move. Great work Yvan! Edited July 12, 2020 by REDitus Quote

So if we go by last years stats he is now about 235lbs and 6'9''. I've always been a little more optimistic about his ceiling than most. Cautiously optimistic, but still. I am starting to become giddy about this kid. If, like Norm assessed, his boulder hands (my words) become a little more supple...oh boy! Quote
