I'm correct in my thinking that height doesn't matter during a game right? For example, if a 6'3" guys with prolific rebounding foes up against a 7'2" guy with strong rebounding, the 6'3" guy has a better chance of getting the ball.

Just want to make sure that I'm right in my thinking that height only matters in terms of training.

Thanks.

Yes, height only matters in terms of training

it feels as though only very tall or short players can really develop. What about 6'6s and 6'7s who are the better players in the real game? This system is not perfect..

I disagree. SFs need to be of balanced height to succeed. Similarly, Driving/Slashing SGs (perhaps with a little less passing) and Outside-Focused PFs (think Dirk Nowitzki, Danilo Gallinari or Rashard Lewis in real Basketball) benefit greatly from being slightly out of the optimal height for their position. Steve-Nash-like 3pt/assist monsters need to be really small, and big stiffs need to b tall, but many players benefit from being not exactly fitting their position because it allows them to be more balanced.

Yeah, you're talking about the real world.. But how are you ever gonna train a player to be like those players?if you have a 6'6 guard with pour Inside Shot (slashing anyone) you'll have to play him at PF to increase that attribute. It's crazy!

Then again, take two similarly skilled PGs, one is 5'10 another 6'6, who do you think would dominate the match up in the real world?

You can try to train a balanced player, but it'll take you twice as long as training two different players with extreme heights.

You don't have to do that. You can play him at SF or even SG and give him 1on1 training to increase his IS. Plus, you can still have him defend as a SG or PG.

I think balanced players are worth it, both from a salary and a performance perspective. well-rounded players have a much better cost-benefit ratio than overpaid centers.
