“With the NBA installing new rules for teams to verify accurate player heights, as the New York Times reported last week, here is one of the most notable entries so far: No. 1 overall pick Zion Williamson measured officially at 6-foot-6, league sources said. The phenom was listed at 6-foot-7 during his freshman season at Duke.”

How does one lose an inch?  

Apparently the NBA has reportedly given a mandate this season that all players be listed at their actual heights.

Sorry shorties.
