Bamba is coming into his 4th year. Any reason he’s practicing other than to get the extra reps? Conditioning? Seems strange to me and not a good sign.

I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting to practice and get to know his new coach and new teammates. He does need both extra reps and conditioning and if he can get some of that down before preseason begins it'll only help him. I'm glad he's there, he's certainly the rawest of the guys on the roster that won't be playing in SL.

Read it wrong. Says bamba wont play. 

In fairness it wasn’t worded very well.  You could interpret it either way.

The NBA website for summer league rosters officially lists RJ Hampton at 6'6 and Franz at 6'9. Not sure if this is barefoot or with shoes but if it's barefoot then realistically RJ is probably 6'7 in shoes and Franz is 6'10.

I am skeptical of which measurements are reportedly accurately vs. just whatever they want it to say.  Franz was a good 3"-4" taller than Mosley (who is supposedly 6'8") at the intro presser.

Isaac is straight up on record multiple times as saying he doesn't want to be known as a 7-footer. He's never listed as one despite almost assuredly being like 7'1".  

I really just think they put whatever they want.

It's really tough to tell from photos. I saw one from summer league practice where they looked similar heights but in this one it looks like RJ is clearly taller:
