This.  They are exceptions, but I am aware of a small number HS basketball players with excellent ball handling who made the HS team - despite being shorter, roughly 5’ 6”.  They did not make a Div 1 college team, but they did later coach HS basketball.[/quote]

These players are almost all point guards, which is the shortest player on the court. However, the point guard is typically the best ball handler and has a huge amount of basketball IQ (elite point guards are running the offense on the floor), so it's usually a kid who has been playing for a very long time under good coaches (which is also why point guards often end up coaching). Tons of kids try out for PG every year and it's probably the most competitive position.

There are so many average height athletic males who want to play basketball.  So these average height males have to stand out so much and agreed these are the kids who have been playing forever and very high skill and understanding of the game.  Can get away with being maybe 5-9 to 5-11 if on a competitive high school basketball team at PG.

OP really depends on your kids height.[/quote]
