The new season is underway and with it comes the NBA’s annual (and very detailed) analysis on each team in the league. In the annual NBA Roster Survey, the league breaks down rosters by height, weight, age, league experience and more for every player on opening-night rosters.

Note: The survey compiles data for rosters as of opening night, not rosters as of today. Players on two-way contracts are not included in the survey.
