Women's Basketball Team Photo

[panchosanchez99]

Why do teams not list accurate heights for players. The most obvious in the team photo is McGee (number zero). She is listed as 6'1" but clearly shorter than Gonzalez (6'0") and Aarnio (5'11"). And although you can't tell from this photo, Wilson is 5'7" but is still listed as 5'10". I have seen multiple instances in photos and in games where she is standing next to Alvarez, Tsineke, and Asensio and she is non taller than them.

It appears that the link to vote for Puisis for the top shooting guard takes you to the wrong site. It takes you to the Naismith starting 5 fan voting. Not only that, this voting is obviously rigged to get Caitlin Clark and Hailey Van Lith selected. You get to vote for 5 players, one from each of the 5 categories. The categories are by position, and while Clark and Van Lith are both point point guards, Van Lith is under the shooting guard category.

Good catch

In order to vote, you must first vote for one player in the Nancy Lieberman category.  The page will then change to the second category, Ann Meyers, that's where you can vote for Sammie.  You will have to vote in all 5 categories in order for your votes to be counted.

This isn't scientific, but I saw Wilson in Publix last year, and my reaction was, "she is a lot taller than I had assumed she was" (not based on numbers, just on my gut instinct. Meaning I thought she was short, and standing next to her, realized she was taller than I thought.

Nevertheless, Van Lith should be in the same category as Clark. She is a point guard, not a shooting guard.

Did she appear 5'10"?

Here is a photo of several players. Wilson appears to be the shortest player in this photo. The 3 players to her right, Asensio, Tsineke, and Alvarez, are listed at 5'8", 5'7", and 5'7", respectively. Aarnio, who is to her left and is listed as 5'11", appears several inches taller than Wilson. If heights of those players are correct, there is no way Wilson is 5'10".

This is such a tough question without reference. 

If I had to throw out a number, I would say 5'9" - where I had thought she was 5'6".

Not for nothing but was next to her last week. I'm just shy of 6'0" and she's at least 3" shorter. Don't know what it matters though.
