So to answer your question, as long as you are talented enough, your height of 5″10 won’t be a problem to get into the NBA. However, you might be restricted to play as a Point Guard only. This guy, Isaiah Thomas is 5″9 and he plays in the NBA.
You asked, can 5’10 be a basketball player? Yep, you can play every single basketball position. There is no rulebook stating you must be a certain height or weight. Even if you think you are a position, you aren’t entitled to play a certain way because there is no rulebook or body of structure that forces you to do this.
Best answer for this question, what position is 5/10 in basketball? They are often referred to as dribblers or play-makers. In the NBA, point guards are mostly between 5 feet 10 inches (1.78 m) and 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m). Point guards are required to do many things in the game of basketball that are very different from the other four positions on the court.
Considering this, is 5 foot 9 too short for basketball? 5’9 although not short is relatively small for any basketball league at a high level even for high school. However I’ve known many players who have been relatively successful in the 4 if they are built and aggressive enough for it.
People also ask, how tall are NBA point guards? With the passing years, there is an increase in the height of the point guards. And the average NBA point guard height varies between 6′-6.3”. Among the point guards of the NBA, Ben Simmons is the tallest point guard with a height of 6’9 “.The average height of an NBA player is 6-foot-7, which is only a tad taller than the 5-foot-9 the average American male stands. The tallest NBA players, however, all hover above seven feet, and some of them use their gargantuan height as a stepping stone to Hollywood.
Is 5’11 tall enough for the NBA?
There is no perfect height for basketball and no good height for dribbling. Ben Simmons is almost 6′11″ and he can handle the ball like a guard (because he is a guard… Or at least, was a guard). Giannis Antetokounmpo (6′11″) and Kevin Durant (6′10″-7′0″) can both handle the ball reasonably well.
Is 1.68 m short for a man?
Yes it is. 5′6″ is considered short (1.33 standard deviations below average) and an average white girl would only need 1″ heels to be taller than a 5′6″ male.
