    This season, there were ONLY 5 players in the NBA shorter than 5’10 (178 cm). Facundo Campazzo played the most minutes out of them all. How did a 30 year-old rookie from Argentina manage to stand his ground in the NBA?
    BasketNews video analyst Augustas Šuliauskas takes a look at his stellar rookie campaign, where he averaged 27 minutes in 10 playoff games for the Denver Nuggets. In this video, you’ll see how Campazzo sets an example for every short guy wanting to get playing time in the league: being a star in his role on offense and masking his lack of size with incredible energy and smarts on the defensive end.

    its crazy cuz 5'10 is actually 3 inches taller than the average male height, but in the nba being 5'10 is like being a dwarf

    You have to be godlike skilled to finish at that height in the NBA. Watch pre hip injury Isaiah Thomas… guy was probably 5”8 and attacking relentlessly. Nobody under 6”3 except maybe Kyrie, Steph, and Ja can finish consistently on Bigs and IT could do it at much shorter height. Pretty impressive

    Great series
    Who's next on the short list.
    Would love to see more breakdowns of the European basketball players in the NBA, how they adapt or what they bring to the game

    Hi Augustas, great breakdown as always. I would like to hear from you about midrange game in modern basketball - it is really so ineffective and "dead" or maybe perhaps here lies the untapped and underappreciated resources 🤔
