Recently, I witnessed several people here and in other platforms that claim that Sengun is a small center while Jokic is described huge and sometimes as a giant. I would like to put an end this discussion with actual proof.
​
The official ranking of these two players measured by NBA:
Jokic is 6’11” (2.11m) and 284lb (129kg)
Sengun 6’11” (2.11m) 243lb (110kg)
Jokic is a bit overweight too.

Conclusion: Sengun is a big center, and Jokic is a bit overweight.

I don’t know how NBA measures players but Sengun does look shorter and smaller than Jokic. He’s probably 6’9 but again that might end up being an advantage.
Congratulations you have the fitter center. What is the point of this?
Another reason Sengun comes across as small is his wingspan isn’t really anything to write home about at 7’0.5″ compared to Jokic at 7’3″.
Jokic is taller and wider.
Jokic is wider, stronger and heavier
Jokic height isn’t what makes him big. It’s his eagle arms and the fact he’s a tree trunk. Neither of those are shared by sengun to that extent. If jokic was the exact same player but with a 3-inch shorter wingspan, it would be a noticeable difference.
