The average starting height of many Western teams is more than 2 meters

It is estimated that it will be difficult to see the starting lineup of 3 guards and 4 guards again in the future. After the offseason operation, the average starting height of many Western teams is more than two meters, and the two big ones are already the basic configuration.

1. Thunder

starter: Alexander 1.98 meters, Jewish 1.96 meters, Dort 1.93 meters, Homgren 2.16 meters, Harten 2.13 meters.

The average height is 2.03 meters. Although it feels like Dort is three defenders, depending on his weight, he can switch to the 3rd and 4th positions. The two serious defenders are both high defenders.

The inside line is equipped with two large ones.

2. Clippers

starter: Harden 1.96, Bill 1.93, Leonard 2.01, Collins 2.06, Zubac 2.13.

Average height is 2.02 meters. The average score of five players in this starting lineup is more than 15 points. No one is afraid of offense, and defense is just as good as it is. Zubac has really grown up in the past two years and has become a center with both offense and defense.

The inside line is also a standard for two big guys.

3. Rockets

starter: Fan Datou 1.83, Amen 2.01, Durant 2.11, Jabbarri Smith Jr. 2.08, and Shen Jing 2.11.

The average height is 2.03 meters, Fan Datou dragged his legs, and the other four people are over 2 meters tall. He is also a starting player with an offense and defense, and he is slightly weaker in his single defense ability. The Rockets' starting lineup is really terrifying, the speed is not slow, the height is high, and they also have projection ability. There are three big men in the inside, and there are also substitutes Ethan who is 2.06 meters, Adams who is 2.11 meters, and Capela who is 2.08 meters.

Rockets are definitely the first in the league in front line.

4. Lakers

starter: Doncic 1.98, Reeves 1.96, Hachimura 2.03, James 2.06, and Ayton 2.13.

Average height is 2.03 meters. The Lakers' starting offense should be quite strong, the defense is slightly weaker, the individual defense ability is average, and Ayton's frame protection is also average. However, Redick himself advocates offense. It can be foreseen that if the Lakers' offense is powered off next season, the points will be lost very quickly, and it depends on who will attack more fiercely.

The Lakers can also be considered as the standard two inside big men.

5. Mavericks

starter: Irving 1.88 meters, Clay 1.96 meters, Flag 2.06 meters, Thick Brow 2.08 meters, and Levley 2.16 meters.

Average height is 2.03 meters. Mavericks Russell should start until Irving returns, and Clay's starting position is not stable. Once he plays poorly, PJ Washington may replace him in the starting position. But no matter who it is, this lineup is really high. I have to say that if the Mavericks are healthy, their strength will be quite terrifying.

Also, the inside line is also standard for two large players.

6. Nuggets

starter: Murray 1.93, Braun 1.98, Gordon 2.03, Johnson 2.03, Jokic 2.11.

Average height is 2.02 meters. The Nuggets' starting lineup is also a combination of offense and defense. Murray's single defense ability is weaker, and the rest are pretty good. This lineup is obviously very balanced, which is why the US media predicts that the Nuggets' probability of winning the championship is second only to the Thunder.

Also, the inside line is also standard for two big men, and there are also substitutes Valan 2.11 meters and Holmes 2.06 meters.

7. Timberwolves

Starting: Huazi 1 meter 93, Kangli 1 meter 83, McDan 2 meter 06, Randall 2 meter 06, Gober 2 meter 16

Average height of 2 meter 2 meter

Old Kangli pulled too much, but Kangli didn't average much time on the bench, and Reed was 2 meter 06. The Timberwolves also need a player to replace Kang Li, but Divinchenzo played too unstable.

Also, the inside line is also standard for two large players.

8. Warriors

starter: Curry 1.88, Butler 2.01, Green 1.98, Sister Bo 1.93, Horford 2.06

The average height is 1.97, which really does not exceed 2 meters. Moreover, this lineup is also very old, Curry 37, Butler 37, Green 35, Horford 39, and the only young player is Sister Bo. If Melton comes here, he should replace Sister Bo, or start with Hilde. Although Green + Horford are two big players in the inside, they are really short.

However, it is said that Cole can beat everything with the five small players, so I look forward to whether the five small players of the Warriors can beat the previous high lineups next season.
