This tool gives you a quick height-based reference for what bodyweight tends to look like at the NBA level.
It’s built off league-average height and weight data, not opinions or “ideal” numbers.
The goal is simple: give coaches a ballpark context for an athlete’s current bodyweight relative to their height.
NBA Average Size
How to use the calculator
- Select your preferred unit
- Enter the athlete’s height and current bodyweight
- The calculator estimates an NBA-norm bodyweight for that height
Use this output as context, not a prescription. Being below the norm does not automatically mean the athlete needs to gain weight, and being above the norm does not automatically mean the athlete is “too heavy.”

Coach's Note
This tool is a reference only. It does not acount for:
- Position or role
- Age or training age
- Frame size or limb length
- Performance qualities (speed, power, skill)
Use it to inform conversations and guide expectations, not to chase a number on the scale.
I hope it's helpful,
