[@scottm2398]

mikeys gonna peak physically.. he probably wont grow much more..listed at 6'3" , more like 6' 1.5" without shoes. hes got that chris paul build.. an athletic Chris Paul at best ..which isnt a bad thing at all.

[@lonewolfnh89]

i think he wears a size 15 shoes. he said so on Overtime. I say he'll reach 6'4. which is good for a combo guard.

[@Kozy_2kclips]

AuraLiveWax that’s why their saying that his build and body structure for his age is mature

[@EA-ps4wc]

Not really built like chris paul. Reminds me more of D Rose with a jumper. But I agree that he's probably almost phyiscally mature. Dude got a grown man voice and bounce at 15. Hopefully his skills will keep up
