Just gonna post NBA starting center heights/weights for reference so we can stop this catfight and get the actual #s. This is some preseason list of the top starting centers in the league from 1-30. Sanogo: 6'9 240lbs Average: 6'10 250lbs Jokic: 6'11 284lbs Embiid: 7'0 280lbs KAT: 6'11 250lbs Gobert: 7'1 245 Adebayo: 6'9 255lbs Vucevic: 7'0 260lbs Ayton: 6'11 250lbs Capela: 6'10 255lbs Turner: 6'11 250lbs Nurkic: 7'0 290lbs Valanciunas: 7'0 265lbs Wood: 6'10 230lbs Allen: 6'11 243lbs Lopez: 7'0 280lbs Holmes: 6'10 235lbs Zubac: 7'0 240lbs 912 Robinson: 7'0 240lbs Rob Williams: 6'8 240lbs (199) Adams: 6'11 250lbs Poetl: 6'11 230lbs Griffin: 6'9 250lbs Carter: 6'11 270lbs Stewart: 6'8 250lbs Plumlee: 6'11 240lbs Kleber: 6'10 240lbs Looney: 6'9 222lbs Bryant: 6'10 250lbs Howard: 6'10 265 Roby: 6'8 230lbs I think it's apparent that Sanogo's height could present a barrier to him become a top center in the league. All of those top-15 guys are at least 2 inches taller than him. And those that aren't (Capela and Bam) are on another tier of athleticism. Same with guys like Griffin, Rob Williams. I don't enough about Isaiah Stewart or Roby to really say their athleticism levels. The lower-tier centers are smaller in general. I could easily see Sanogo carving out a role as a long-term rotation big, or as a mid- or lower-tier center in the league for a decade if he has a couple of big developmental summers and stays on his trajectory of improvement. Developing a 3 point shot would obviously change all of this. [/QUOTE]
