Re: two paths:one way
Well AI plays sg a 6'0 and most say he's actually shorter. If you get really fast, strong, and develop a good jump shot you can play sg. But I would suggest just working on being a pg, maybe even a combo guard which would make you more valuable.
Im assuming you're a sophomore? You got another year until you really want colleges to look at you. Just keep working on it. You can also still grow a little, but I think 6'4 is out of reach to be honest. You can try some of those stretches.

Re: two paths:one way
on a growth chart it says that ur not gonna make it that tall. i think u should work on being a pg, and become a great shooter so u can play as a shooting guard as well. u shuld end up being around 6'2 or so. plus they measure with shoes on so mayb 6'3. thats good enough to be a sg i think

Re: two paths:one way
I think they really have alot more opportunities over there in america, and most of it'd probably be pretty serious, tough stuff i'd assume
unlike here in australia..pffft.
how do you guys know if you've had a growth spurt or not? =/ everyone's always talking growth spurt growth spurt growth spurt over here (coz my friends all wanna be taller) but i dont even get how you're supposed to know when you have a growth spurt or not.

you might end up eating a little more, but you really have no idea, until like a year later when your 3-4 inches higher. You really don't notice you are growing.

Re: two paths:one way
drink milk and once you hit 6'0 get some insoles that increase your height like orthotics. i remember seeing something made in japan that is made to make you 2 inches taller. you'll be at atleast 6'1. then stretch yourself to 6'3, grab a pair of shoes and you're 6'4. even if you don't grow the 2 inches, you can still play sg i guess (look at steve francis).

Re: two paths:one way
lol someone that never seen you randomly guesses your height to 6'2", you never know just have a good diet, workout hard eat your protein and healthy lifestyle and you'll grow, I'm 6'0 and 15 years old and my doctor(s) said I'll be around 6'5 or so because of my family's height, waiting for that growth spurt ya digg!
