The skill ratings can be considered to have already taken height into account. A player who is 7'4 and can tie his shoelaces might be as good a rebounder as a 5'2 player who has good leaping ability, timing, strength, positioning, strength, etc.

But the 7'4 player will be able to improve his rebounding skill more (for example after he sees his first basketball game), while the smaller player will be much closer to his physical limits.

Is it all inside and outside skills or just rebounding and handling? I thought I only have seen those two mentioned but that could have been as examples. If so where does driving fall into?

I don't have anything concrete to build this off of.

But, since driving and handling are secondary to each other, even if driving wasn't affected by height, the bonus to handling would not be as strong as if it were a shorter player.

Do you have access to evidence supporting slower Jump Shot?

In the early stages of my BB life...

Do we know of any way to access previous news items? Or perhaps why said news items are not amended into the rules? I feel like I missed a ton of info just because I failed to record important announcements thinking that I would either remember forever or the changes would be noted somewhere else.

Ah well..
