height doesn't matter in the game , just be aware shot blocking and inside defense do matter .

Which is why at one time (not sure if it's the same now?) people preferred small size bigmen because you can train multiskilled players and it eats less into your potential compared to a 7'1" C with 3 extremely good skills and the rest at atrocious or something like that.

But is it still true if you have a small with good overall skills (6-4 and under) that you would want/need to train the big man skills first while the trainee is still young (under 22)?

Height don't impact in-game, but impact training. So you have a higher probability of having a smaller players succeeding as guards and taller players succeeding as centers. Think Charles Barkley. He was a midget but had positioning and strength skills that allowed him to be an excellent rebounder.
