What up, dough? 2010-2011 Utah Jazz BMI scores

PrintClearly, I am insane. Also, I'm really ready for the next season to start so I can get some serious number crunching done. Anyway, Body Mass Index is something that is generally disregarded now-a-days in the medical community in favor of other metrics. Yet it's something that people all over may be familiar with. If not, there's always wiki. The Utah Jazz website lists players heights and weights. So I ended up doing the math here so we can see which of our guys are more 'fit' than others. (Again, using the outdated metric of BMI) These are the guys listed, despite no formal information regarding them actually being 'on' the team for the next season. (Hence, why we see Fes, OJ and others here) Point guards are listed in green; swingmen in yellow; and bigs in blue.
Different conventions have different ideas of what the ideal score is, but what can't be avoided is that C.J. is the least svelt wing player on the team. What up, dough?

Mean BMI for the team?
25.408 +or- 2.2706
Guys 2 standard deviations below the norm? No one, but Evans (21) is close (-2 stdev = 20.8668)
Guys 2 standard deviations above the norm? No one, but Fesenko (29.2) is close (+2 stdev = 29.9492)

I noticed an error on the x-axis
Jeremy Evans should read: Jeremy Evans (6’9, 196) -- NOT -— Jeremy Evans (6’9, 215).
The values for BMI are correct though, his is the lowest on the team.

yes, that's right . . .
Evans (196) is just a tad bit heavier than Sundiata (195) . . . . despite being 6’9.

Is Millsap really 6'8????
Maybe we should hook him up with Cole Aldrich’s shoe deal.

BMI's don't work for athletes
That has always been the big problem with BMI’s. They are a fairly accurate measurement of healthy weight for the average joe who exercises 90 minutes a week or less, but when you get into the gym rats, BMI’s assume that the muscle they put on in the gym is fat.
Karl Malone had a BMI of 30.0. Much higher than anyone on the current Jazz roster. CJ having a high BMI is not necessarily a bad thing. It could just mean he’s muscular. Then again, it doesn’t necessarily have to mean that he’s muscular either. He could be out of shape. BMI’s just don’t tell you anything when it comes to pro athletes. If you want a good measurement of fitness you would have to look at body fat %. Of course, that info is probably hard to come by unless the individual is a conceited narcissist who broadcasts his body fat % at the beginning of every game.
I completely agree
this post was just done as a lark. BMI isn’t even used that often now for ‘normal’ people anymore either. (we don’t use it here in Michigan, for example) Body Fat , on the other hand, is great. Malone got his down to 3 late in his career. (He looked more human in the 80’s than he did in the late 90’s early 00’s)

OJ
OJ is heavier than GH while they are same height and still he has lesser BMI? Hmm… odd.

Nevermind...
Just checked the roster. JH is 196 lbs and not 215 lbs. BMIs are correct.
