[@Iaintsayinnothin..]

Height is important, it can't be overlooked, a big reason why many offensively gifted players don't make it to the highest levels is because of their lack of defensive flexibility, if ur small you can't be used advantageously in switches, instead ur a negative mismatch. Not much use of having a break-even player who gives up the same amount he scores. Also with a lot of these smaller players like Aquille and Julian Newman their primary attribute is ball handling, which is not a valued role attribute like shooting, passing, rebounding, defending Etc especially at that height, Kyrie and Kemba can't be used as examples because they're stars, the one true ball handling role player Jamal Crawford isn't in the league anymore.
