Look at height (in inches) by position across the NBA as projected starters.
For "not being small" - Blazers (149) have the 2nd smallest backcourt in the league (CLE 146) & the least size at the forward spots (154) as well as the overall "smallest" starting lineup.
We'll have our 2nd film session for the Ball is Life Patreon members after Summer League.
These are an hour-plus long, and we'll dive into Scoot, Kris and Rayan specifically but also anything/anyone else that pops up like Badji making his debut for the team.

Unfortunately for you - you’re wrong on all accounts.
Ayton was probably the best midrange shooting big in the entire league last year - in the 99th percentile on attempts and 94th for FG%
His defense is the thing that has kept him on the floor in the NBA Finals…
@JackedRamsays
@BrandonSprague
@DannyMarang
Pay Ayton what he wants? Has not proved to be more than a rim running big. Isn't elite at rim protection and even worse as a perimeter defender. Can't create for himself or shoot or make others better or be a playmaker. Giving Ayton a max is like giving CJ the big contract.
