Bro, do U think Marlou Aquino would have been that good a shot blocker if he was 2 inches shorter. I think he would have been a significantly less efficient shot blocker if he was only 6-foot-7. Yes, shot blocking isn't really about height as aspects like timing, athleticism & even basketball I. Q. are even more important, but one can't deny that height matters in shot blocking & and 2-inch difference in height matters significantly.
Ask this questions to everyone: Would you want Kai Sotto to be 2 inches shorter than his actual height? Would you prefer a 6-foot-3 Dwight Ramos than a 6-foot-5 one (of course given the same skills, speed, athleticism, & basketball I. Q.)? Would Gabe Norwood have been as effective a wing defender if he is 2 inches shorter?
Please somebody tell me that its no big deal that Kai Sotto is 7-foot-2 & not just 7-foot-flat. I think everyone here except zairex would agree that even just a 2-inch height difference matters.
a bit of a zag but i would look more into their wing spans. (considering everything else is equal: defensive awareness, quicknessm etc.)
Bro, its with the notion that a player who is 2 inches taller would have longer wingspan than the other guy. There's that thing called proportion.

I will put prime abueva. Defensive skills, timing and motor. He will be a better defender than Dwight at just 6'1"

Parang benta ung mali nung isang player, may history ba un player na yun?
Translation:
What a match! An unfortunate loss for BW but luck was with BG side.
Before that, He make a crucial jumper that gave Converge a lead... But they pressured against more experienced TNT squad... Olsen Racela vibes for Ilagan today!!!!
Amer seems he will be a MPBL bound in foresee future... He doesn't improve since his rookie years... He has no value at all....
He has no eagerness to improve... He's OK just to have salary then nothing else... No passion at all... Teams doesn't want that attitude for a player...
that's not always true. THT is 6'5 but has a 7'1 wingspan. Mykhailuk is 6'6 with a 6'6 wingspan.
He already played numerous PBA contender teams likes of TNT, Magnolia (San Mig before) and Ginebra... He will be use here at BWB....
My point is, when I say "player A is 2 inches taller than player B" then it follows that player A has a longer wingspan than player B (though of course its not always the case). When I say "I'll always take a 6-foot-5 version of Dwight Ramos than the 6-foot-3 one" (with skills, speed, athleticism & court smarts being equal), then I also mean that the 6-5 Dwight has a longer wingspan than the 6-foot-3 one. Automatic na yan becoz this is just hypothetical lang naman.
Just wonder is there any 6'8 and above Point Guard that is really a great shooter. If Steph was 6'9" will he have the same release time of .4 seconds.
the only 6'9 PGs i can think of is Ben Simmons, Magic Johnson and Penny Hardaway or is he 6'7 like luka
