I agree with your main point, that Geno will be able to put a lot of big kids on the floor without sacrificing speed or versatility. But this little factoid has been taking up way too much of my mental time for the last few months.

FIBA and Eurobasket are usually pretty careful about such details. The earliest measurements I could find listed her at 182cm or ~6’. Other (perhaps later) measurements had her at 186cm or 6’1 1/4”. Yet other measurements (perhaps even later?) showed her to be 188cm or 6’2”.

In her regular season games which were with the pros she didn’t look all that big, maybe 6’1”. But in the final tournament where it was just the high school kids she looked very big, like at least 6’2”.

I don’t think this really matters much. What we care about is ‘how big she plays.’ Sarah plays much bigger than her 190cm, just like her mom did. Blanca has long limbs but isn’t slight. She doesn’t shrink from going up against taller players. I suspect she’ll seem plenty big to us and to all the opposing teams. Size only matters if it’s mobile, and Blanca is quick if she’s anything.
