". Show me a high school team with a 6'1" PF, and I'll show you a player with little hope of even playing at a junior college, much less getting paid to do it.


googel for jeff gibbs, on paper he is 1.88 and plays as PF and C, german television takes his hight with a foot rule which wasn't straigth and get 1.84 so i believe my tip is more accurat when i say he is 1.80^^

His stats ain't superior in the first german division for years, you could say that this is only a third class league, but they are also some players with nba experienced who ain't that succesfull(actually the most popular one are Dan Dickau and Casey jacobson).

I looked this season for small sized players with strong inside Skills, and i have to say that pretty less player match my requirements, so heigth isn't totally random and mostly it fits to the position. When scouting the german draft for great talents, you have more problem with SF sized players(~2.00m), who have a skillset just as guard or centers. With week players maybe the range is bigger, so i expect a random system like that:

size 1.75, OD Skill: 15% average(6), 10% respectable(7)
size 2.20, OD Skill: 2% average(6), 1% respectale(7)

So must solid starting centers are big and most guards are small.
