NBA short kings still thriving

The Hoops Geek says the league's average height was 6'7" last season. With Aday Mara (7'3") and Jamarion Sharp (7'5") joining rosters, that figure should climb. But there's still a place for the smaller guys. Next season, four players are listed under 6'0": Yuki Kawamura (5'7"), Isaiah Stevens (5'11"), Ryan Nembhard (5'11"), and Jordan McLaughlin (5'11"). Jalen Brunson checks in at 6'2", and he just won Finals MVP while ending the Knicks' 53-year title drought. Are small guards really fading away?
