I know this discussion been going on before but can't find suitable thread.

What is propriate length for different positions.

Can I expect good training for a SG of 206 cm or is he too tall?

BB doesn't exactly handcuff your players based on height. any player can play any position, though it would be best that they have the necessary skills to compete in that position. there is an aspect to training that allows shorter players to train better in driving and handling i think. i do know that taller players will train rapidly in rebounding. but a real life comparison is hard to tell. point guards are usually 6'3" and shorter. shooting guards are 6'4" to 6'8". small forwards are 6'6" to 7'0". power forwards are 6'7" to 7'0". and centers are 6'9" and taller. that would only be real life comparisons not exactly the way BB runs things.

Is there any difference in what high is optimal for Power forwards and Centers?

I drafted a couple of small forwards and am considering training them in their outside skills until I noticed they are pretty tall. 6'8" and 6'10".

That makes training small forwards uneconomical I guess?

If you got decent skills you can train them as Power forwards instead.

i won't think so, i won't make an outside orientated SF out ofthem, but an LI Sf wehen he got ecent starting guard skills and an respektable OD(which should be trained mostly of the small man skills).

Yeah, but his inside skills are a bit too low to train up, more suitable for guard training. Oh well, that's two bad draft years in a row.
