Listed at an arguably generous 6-foot-1, VanVleet is usually the shortest player on the court. But that's no obstacle for the Raptors guard, who's averaging 22.7 points and 7.4 assists in February.

At 6-foot-9, Adebayo certainly isn't small in general NBA terms, but he is undersized for an All-Star center. Yet thanks to his prowess on both ends, he's still one of the best big men in the game and pivotal to the Heat's success.

Tucker has transformed from swingman to small-ball big in recent years, a change that was key to the Bucks' 2021 title win. He no longer scores at the rate he once did but is still crucial for the 76ers' defense.

At 6-feet, Alvarado is one of the shortest players in the league, but he's carved out a solid bench role as a defensive disruptor for the Pelicans. Opposing ball-handlers always have to be wary when bringing the ball up the court if he's around.
