I've seen 6'0 players classified as centers. It is possible that skills of generated players are linked together and also linked to height. So perhaps they choose a random height, say a normal distribution with a height around 6'8. And then instead of setting skill values at complete random, they could be linked to the height. So the Jump Range might have a normal distribution, but for a 6'0 player, the mean might be mediocre, and for a 7'4 player it might be awful.

i think height is also one factor in classifying players, although not that big of a factor i think. sure there are 6'6" center, but no way you can find a 5'9" center or a 7'2" pg



It's not a factor at all.

I sometimes think it could be at creation (i.e. taller players are generated with inside skills more often). But I agree that it's not a factor for classification.

He plays sometimes as Center, and is a Pofer Forward who plays mostly in pain ... His height is more 1.84 = 6 feet, then the 1.88cm who stand on the stats. It is pretty cool to look at him, because he is a great player and how he get all his board is impressive - so he earned his nickname Mr incrdible.
