Positional length and 6 players in the upcoming draft that can help the Jazz achieve that
What is positional length? It’s prioritizing length at each position to have a taller and longer team, a point guards average height is 6’3” if the Jazz prioritize positional length, they will look for a point guard at that height or taller. The entire league has gotten taller since basketballs creation, in 1952 the average height for an NBA player was 6’3”, and the league average now is just under 6’7”, there are multiple factors that go into the NBA becoming taller and longer, nutrition, taking care of their bodies, and the NBA’s global reach all play a part in this.
Average height per position in 2023:
Point Guard – 6’3”
Shooting Guard – 6’5”
Small Forward – 6’7”
Power Forward – 6’9”
