Okay, so I’ve been curious about this guy, Kristaps Porzingis, especially his height. I mean, he’s a big dude on the basketball court, and I wanted to know exactly how tall he is.
First, I started by just looking it up like everyone else. I typed “height of porzingis” into the search bar. The first thing I saw was that he’s 7 feet 2 inches tall. That’s really tall!
- 7 feet 2 inches – it is hard to image!
Then I looked deeper, cause I found it’s interesting. I checked his profile on NBA, and it says he’s 240 lbs. This guy is heavier than Victor Wembanyama. It is really heavy for his size.
Digging into some footage
Next, I decided to watch some game footage. I specifically looked for plays where he had a height advantage. I found a bunch of clips where he was at least 6 inches taller than the guy guarding him. You can just see how he uses that height to shoot over defenders. It’s pretty crazy.
I also looked at his shooting stats. For a big guy, he’s pretty good. He shoots around 45% from the field. I think it is impressive for someone his size.
So yeah, that’s my little investigation into Porzingis’s height. He’s a giant, and he really knows how to use it to his advantage on the court. I also think his other data is good.
Hope you guys found this interesting. Let me know what you think in the comments!
