Average height is 6-6... Hasn't been this short since 1979.

Average weight has been trending down since 2014-2015.

How far is this going to go?

Skilled bigs are feasting right now. Anthony Davis is putting up Wiltean numbers.

The Lakers look historically dominant in the paint.

When will teams start investing in size again?

When they cant counter size with small ball, they will eventually use size vs size. This year was unexpected and special, a 6' 9 point guard Lebron and a 6' 10 Kareem Davis. But we saw how Jokic bullied Davis in the 3rd series? LA had to counter with someone bigger then Davis in DHoward.

Size always makes a comeback. LA proved it this year.

The modern era is better anyway.

I definitely don't miss the NBA of the 1990s/early 2000s.

Soon the league will have players with heights of 6'7 or 6'8 starting in the center position.
