I disagree. There's no way for anyone to know who I'm talking about. It's just an example of two players.

I was speaking in generalities. Typically a kid will fall into a growth range based on their parents genes. Without going into a dissertation on genetics and exceptions, let's just say the exceptions exist. Personally, I should have been taller than 6'1". The one short grandmother got into my genetic makeup.

And the kids of athletic parents are far more likely to be athletic than non-athletic parents (don't confuse this with parents who didn't play sports). Note I said far more likely, not absolutely. In the example in my post, I never saw athleticism. I only saw early bloomer strength.
