Don't be surprised if they sit him for periods. There is no need to add wear and tear to you star's body, when everyone else is learning how to play basketball. Last year they were in no hurry to press him back from injury, because they want him at 100% until he is traded.
With the official heights and weights now listed, can we stop saying Kevin Love is too skinny at 6'8" 251 lbs? The guy is built like a tank.
It says 251 on ESPN's roster but 260 on NBA.comIt's 260...at least from what I read. He has heavy bones.
FYI - my guess is NBA.com is closer. I’ve heard from someone I trust that Kevin has added some muscle this summer and pictures seem to show that.It says 251 on ESPN's roster but 260 on NBA.com
I figured I'd go with the lower number, so it didn't look like I was cherry-picking to make my point.
Strange that there is a discrepancy when they literally just got official measurements from every player.FYI - my guess is NBA.com is closer. I’ve heard from someone I trust that Kevin has added some muscle this summer and pictures seem to show that.

Hard to believe Love is an inch shorter than Thompson but outweighs him by 35 pounds (NBA.com).FYI - my guess is NBA.com is closer. I’ve heard from someone I trust that Kevin has added some muscle this summer and pictures seem to show that.
It's not so much that anybody was lying, it's that they are changing the standard.Hard to believe Love is an inch shorter than Thompson but outweighs him by 35 pounds (NBA.com).
As I suspected, everybody is shorter than what they've been listed in the past. Thompson is 6'9" which is consistent but everybody else is shorter.
Draymond Green is only 6'6"!
The Bucks have Giannis (6'11"), the Lopez brothers (7'0"), Dragan Bender (7'0"). They'll be a load to handle.

Heights used to be listed w/shoes on prior to this year. They are now listed barefoot (rounded to the nearest inch).
