Sidy was 224lbs at the combine and listed at 220 on the SL roster so commentator just misread it.

The thing is if you go most anywhere on the internet, he's listed at 200 or 201 pounds: NBA.com, Basketball Reference, his Wikipedia page, the Blazers roster, ESPN ... on Google, you have to go to the bottom of his first page to the Basketball Reference G-League page, where he's listed 6-5, 224 (which seems more like it ... although his individual Basketball Reference page lists him 6-8, 200).

During one of the SL games, I'm not sure who the color commentator was but obviously an ex NBA player and he said, "That's the thickest 6'6" 200lb guy I've ever seen." And then something to the extent of that had to be wrong or Sidy had been putting in major work in the weight room since getting weighed.

I posted that in the game thread the other day. I think those were my exact words.

I'm getting tired of these announcers taking my stuff off this forum without attribution.

5. Yang Hansen, C, Portland Trail Blazers



The Blazers gave us the biggest shock of draft night by trading down and drafting Chinese center Yang Hansen at No. 16 overall. Hansen was widely projected as a second-round pick entering the draft, but he clearly had fans in the league, and at this point it’s starting to feel like it wasn’t really a reach. Summer league was the first time most American audiences got a real look at 7’1 center, and his talent jumped off the screen. Hansen didn’t earn that “Chinese Jokic” moniker out of nowhere: he’s a really skilled passer for someone his size, and spent his time in Vegas dropping dimes from the elbows. He also showed he’s going to be a willing shooter on pick-and-pop threes, and that he should be a solid rim protector in drop. Hansen could struggle with the physicality of NBA bigs at first, and he doesn’t exactly look like a switchable defender yet, but his combination of size, feel for the game, touch on his passes and shots gives him a great foundation to work with. Given Donovan Clingan’s conditioning issues, maybe it’s not such a bad idea to get a high-level backup who can add a different layer to the offense. Even if it’s only summer league, Hansen was good enough to prove this wasn’t an unreasonable pick by the Blazers. Picking up an unprotected 2028 Magic pick in the process of the trade down doesn’t hurt either.

Interesting...he's always looked 215+ whenever I've seen him over the last 3 years

I don't know where you're seeing the 224. You're right about his combine measurements but both NBA.com and ESPN.com have him listed at 200. I think he looks bigger than 220... the dude looks like he's probably 240. He definitely looks way bigger than he did when he played on G-League Ignite and he was probably 220 back then.

Maybe he cut weight like a boxer. Wants to be the biggest 200lb player in NBA history.

I hadn't noticed him since he was with the Blazers, so I can't speak of his height and weight before then, but I'd agree he looks massive for a guard, like Lu Dort but taller. I can't explain the variations given in his measurables on different websites. Three inches and 25 pounds is a big discrepancy.
 
It finally arrived FAMS!!!!
