Yeah that can be but I was offended by your post if I make you feel same way sorry... but I think it is nice to see drafts heights increasing


...... Ok, I'll join in the philosophical debate behind this.

If we're going to have players continually grow for a few years because of age related possible growth outcomes...

Would we not then HAVE TO, in fairness, Account for national origin of players, and average height of males, therefore, for example, since China does not have many 7'6 people (Yao Ming), they would have much less 7 foot tall people, same with Japan.

Then, Countries like Senegal, would have a shortage of shorter people.

I cannot think of ever seeing 7 foot tall Irish people from ireland.

Norway and Sweden would then have less players under 6' ft.

Etc. Etc. Etc.

Your idea, while interesting, and possibly fun, adds to many X-factors into the game, and then to boot, opens up a slippery slope.

Exactly proving the problem with entering that slippery slope.

Now do 18-22 year olds grow more or less in USA? France? Ghana? Budapest? Etc.

A large number of men will grow into their mid 20's so it is very realistic.


The only growth that men do after they turn 20 is outwards, not upwards. haha.

in all seriousness, in my final year of high school, which had 200 students aged 17, only one guy grew massively, but pretty much everyone's height was set by the time they finished.

the % of men that grow in height ... at all... after 17, is probably less than 10%.

10% is probably a high number too. I'd go so far to say 5% would be me going high to be safe. I only know of 1 person total who grew after age 18. He grew 2 inches between 20 and 21, despite 18-20 staying the same height.

I know more people who have been 6 ft,- 6'4 range since they were 14 years old, never growing after 14. Than people who grew after 18.

i'm 5'10 and stopped growing at age 14 so it just depends on genetics, but about 3-10% seems to grow a bit after age 18
