I think it will be a 3 player class as well. I think the only thing that would change that is a random NBA entry or Potter doesn’t get a lot of playing time this season and decides to move on since he won’t have to sit out a year now. If one of those things happens, I’d assume he will try to add a 4th player.

iu's 247 guy (rabjohns) confirms that carton is no shorter than 6'2" in shoes.

The 5'11" measurement supposedly came from the U18 national team trials, but I cannot find an official measurement chart for that event. NBA Draft which generally takes their measurements from these types of events has him listed at 5'11". I am not saying they are right or Rabjohns is wrong, just that I assume this is where the question on his height stems from.

official:
as noted here, the source for the claim being shorter than 5'11' without shoes was apparent. i'm inclined, however, to believe that the listed heights for dj are wrong because at least a couple people have been adamant that they are wrong. excepting dj's own mother, there isn't much reason to question what rabjohns claims to be so sure about.
but, okay... dismiss all of that. a 5'10.5" guy having 6'6" wingspan? that makes dj a freak among freaks. look through the nba combine measurements and try to find another player shorter than 6'1" who has a 6'6" wingspan. good luck. a +7.5" wingspan isn't unheard of for a guy 6'5" or taller. but a +7.5" wingspan for a guy shorter than 6'1"? a guy supposedly shorter than 6'1" by almost a couple inches? that happens almost never.
what i am inclined to assume, though, is that carton's height fits his wingspan. a 6'2" height with a 6'6" wingspan makes sense.

I know video can be deceptive but you watch his stuff and there is no way he looks like 5'11 to me, unless players who are usually listed at 5'11 are actually shorter.
He looks 6'1-6'2, easy. Even if he isn't, he plays like he's 6'3 at least with his strength, frame, length, and athleticism. 6'6 wingspan and a '39 inch vertical can cover a multitude of shortness.

I hadn't read the previous page, so didn't realize the source had been discussed. Understand that I am not arguing what his height is or isn't and regardless think he's going to be a heck of a college player (might be better for us if he is sub 6').
as for other players, 6'1" or shorter, in 2015 corey hawkins measured 6'0.75" without shoes and a 6'8" wingspan and Terry Rozier measured the same height and an additional .25" wingspan. in 2016, Wade Baldwin had a +8.75" wingspan but he was 6'2.5" tall. last year kadeem allen at 6'1" had a +8.25" wingspan. yes, its not common, but not really rare when it happens about every year.
as I've said any time height measurements are given, a players wingspan and vertical reach are much more important measurements than how high the top of their head is from the ground.
