Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

Something really discouraging (would be a lot moreso had his acquisition been costlier): at the draft,was reported as 6'8" or at least 6'7". The Mavs website has him listed at 6'3". If that's the case, he probably doesn't make it in the L.

Edit: That height measurement is backed up by NBA.com. Man, if that's the case, that's a huge Schmitz miss. How the freaking eff do you mess up someone's height by four or five inches???

the Mavs website and the NBA website run off the same database, so the fact they have the same numbers listed isn't a surprise.

Bball ref, and practically every single other draft outlet had him listed at 6'7 or 6'8. I guess we will wait and see what's the true number. 

I agree, if he is only 6'3, I think it will be tough for him to make an impact, but if we look at his vid and pause it at 35 seconds:



Here is Ishchenko standing pretty upright and as flat footed as can be next to Andre Roberson who was an NBA player listed at 6'7 and he looks pretty much the same height. Definitely not 6'3.
