Can SHORT guys still MAKE IT to the NBA? How Facundo Campazzo DID IT

For more content like this visit: basketnews.com/
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.

*Looks at Isiah Thomas during his run with the Celtics*

[@jamesbouk]

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

[@weirdkid9202]

It’s one inch taller

[@elevenrings5871]

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

Nice guide, it looks like creator of the video really knows what he is talking about 😂

[@MrRockleyend]

Campazzo is doing great this last matches. He's magic

[@mantaskizeliauskas9567]

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

[@malik5835]

Ah hell no. If he can make it, I can too. Look out for the next 5'10 NBA player.

El Mago Campazzo🎩💫💥

This was a great breakdown. Nice job!

[@marijusp]

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 🤔

[@AugustasSuliauskas]

Thanks for a great idea! Writing it down in my notes.

[@gustesuliauskaite3235]
