Unlock the Hidden Secret Behind [Article Topic] That Everyone’s Missing!
Before the 2019-20 season, the NBA required teams to measure player heights without shoes to get more consistency and accuracy in how height is measured. That year, players who were 6-foot-9 or taller played 25.4% of the minutes in the NBA. This season, that number is up to 29.2%, a big shift upward (as of Jan. 23).
That increase hasn’t been linear, though. The percentage was 29.7% in 2023-24, then fell to 26.5% in 2024-25 before shooting back up this season.
Lineups with at least three players at 6-9 are playing 11.1% of the minutes this season. It’s a massive increase since 2019-20, when those lineups only played 5.0% of the time, but, again, that increase hasn’t been linear.
