Brett Brown talked to Anthony Gargano and Jon Marks on the morning show this morning about Jahlil Okafor, how he fits with the team, and who he reminds Coach Brown of (“He’s a gifted passuh,” says Brown). But in addition to the talk of Big Jah, the chat naturally headed in the direction of Joel Embiid, and as it turns out, JoJo is growing.

The 21-year-old Embiid could still be growing. And not just out, up. He’s listed on Basketball-Reference at 7’0″, but according to Brown, he’s even taller … by his own reports:

“I get a text from Joel a few weeks ago in the middle of the night that said: ‘Guess how tall I am.’ And so I guessed seven-foot. Two minutes later he texts back ‘You’re wrong, I’m 7’2″.’ I text back ‘How do you know this?’ He texts back ‘Doctors. I’m 7’2″ in sandals.’ And when you stand next to him, when you’re around big men you understand the difference between seven-foot and seven-two, and he is 7’2″.”

Could this be what Embiid was referencing on Instagram? Did he drunk text his coach? Is he actually taller? Will we ever find out if that height even matters on the court? Stay tuned, for the next edition of: What the hell is going on with Joel Embiid?
