    I don't know about points but blocks are rebounds are definitely attributed to height.

    Rodman, Barkley, Wes Unseld... Great rebounders and each 6-7 or smaller...

    I know about those guys but what about the rest of the players that are 6'7 compared to players that are 7 foot. It's just a logical statement that if you are smaller you have a worse chance of rebounding a blocking shots.

    There isn't an association between height and points, but probably height and field goal percentage. Taller players, play closer to the basket. I'm not sure, but guys like KG and TD have 50% from the field, while a guy like Kobe would be in the mid to lower 40%'s.

    Height and field goal percentage definately. Because post players tend to be taller, and tend to have higher field goals percentages because all their shots are from up close. But theres the occasional guy who doesnt need the height to have good field goal percentage, ie. Antwan Jamison.
