Message: [QUOTE="UCsports, post: 5321419, member: 6863"] Height decreases by about 1/2 to 1 inch from the beginning of the day to the end of the day mostly due to disks in the spine losing volume and to some extent other joints being compressed. Plus for some people fatigue in muscles can affect posture. Tall people will lose more height than short people on average. Shoes vary in height as well. Some might increase height by 1.25 inches and others by 1.5 inches as an example. He’s also a teenager with extreme height genetics and could easily still be growing now. Plus height measurements can vary slightly depending who does the measuring. The players with changes from last year could be guys that are half way in between a measurement (ex. 6’3.5) and rounded down last year but rounded up this year for whatever personal reason. [/QUOTE]
