Notable from ESPN's summer predictions re: team most likely to turn things around:

1. Lakers: 95 points (42.4% 1st-place votes)
2. Pelicans: 72 points (21.2%)
3. Clippers: 43 points (18.2%)
4. Mavericks: 33 points (6.1%)
Also, Luka Doncic the top choice to be a 1st-time all-star

This seems kind of goofy. Who is this for? Is it just fan service? It’s not like it will change anything for teams, gamblers, or dfs players.

Probably benefits the teams to have verified ages.

Seems goofier to pretend that Chris Paul is 6.3, than to acknowledge that he's 5.11.

The pretense is indeed goofy. Minnesota was not suddenly going to move Garnett to center, because they found out he was actually taller than advertised.
