This is why nobody cares about out of season NBA, yet out of season NFL can dominate the airwaves. |

It would be more interesting if they made them post what brand of coffee they drink and who the correspondence they read is from |

Will they publish Carter, Jrs hat size? That's a huge melon. |

Off season NBA dominates the airwaves more than any other sport including most sports in season press. For instance, I guarantee the NBA made more headlines this summer than MLB and NFL put together. |

The best part of this rule is now Kevin Durant will be listed as a 7 footer and he hates being called a 7 footer. |

Next thing you know they'll be making them disclose all their social media burner accounts. |

This will have an impact on player evaluations and perceptions. Wendell Carter probably doesn't get drafted by the Bulls if it were known that he was only 6'8. |

I thought the NBA was the wisest league? Listing players exact height and weight seems like a slave auction to me. SAD !! |

I think Bulls management are incompetent buffoons, but I’m sure they knew how tall Carter Jr was before the draft. |

Undoubtedly they did as the actual heights of players are known after the combine. Its just easier to sell him to the fans as a 6'10 Center than it is if he is a 6'7 or 6'8 Center. Thats all. |

And I’m sure fans know everybody is 2 inches shorter than they’re listed. |
