Everything from the # onwards is link description hence the failures.

Oh and I was spot on about the NBA evolution based on this.

runrepeat.com

Average point guard is now 6'3 all other positions are slightly shorter than previously. Positionless basketball!

They'll likely get taller as well as now the tall kid in school might actually get to bring the ball up instead of being stuck in the post so the evolution at the top changes the game below it, which further changes the game at the top.

Well done with finding the other piece of the jigsaw.

There’s always going to be outliers, mercifully. Mookie Betts is massively short for a 9 but he’s still pulling down $27M this year.

538 so some very interesting statistical articles. There are some really weird ones out there. WAR is a particularly odd one
