Blake Griffin played PG till 10th grade

[Clippersfan86]

Its not common but it has happened before. Shaq said he was a point guard, Anthony Davis was a guard etc...

Lets not forget it isn't that hard to play point up through 9th grade at any level. So saying he played point doesn't mean anything unless he was good and it translated. Obviously, some of it did in his case.

Same with Shaq. Nobody Shaq's size had his handles, passing, court vision and agility. You could tell he's played guard.

Noah was a spot up shooter from the arc in HS.

Wow. Is this true? That's nuts.

It's still true today. Weird how the GOAT shooter has such a flat jumper.

Dwight surprises me. Other than Sabonis I cant think of any true bigmen who started as points. Sabonis shot up to 7'3'' out of the blue I believe.

Pau Gasol played PG till he was 14.

Lol I envy this massively. I was 6'0 in the 7th grade and never grew another inch. I am 23 now.

i was 5'1(glen davis type player, heavy but quick) until the summer after tenth grade

came back after the holidays, didn't notice i grew a whole foot over the summer (6'2) an thinned out ridiculously

my vert went up astronomically

the pg skills and ball IQ were polished from years of having a height and weight disadvantage

teams thought i was a transfer lol

Steroids doesnt make you grow IIRC, HGH does though.

HGH makes you grow taller???

Hahaha... fair enough. I agree his jumper is a bit flat.. but it's so money. I gotta give props. You guys have all made this thread very interesting with your tidbits. Can a mod change the title thread to something a bit more relevant? Like players who played different positions growing up etc.

HGH makes you grow taller???

Depends on when you take it I guess. Once your growth plates are fused and closed, you can't get any taller. I suppose if you took HGH as a teen or something you would grow taller than you normally would have.
