"do you think if a kid is super talented, height won't be much of an issue,"
This depends how you define talent. Some people make the mistake of thinking it's about stats. Stats are variable based on the level of competition. Talent is judged by tools and their upside potential. If the talent exists there's a place for the player to play regardless of size

Thankyou, that is ultimately what I wanted to know. As I said before, I do understand the equal talent thing. What I don't necessarily agree with is that the bigger kid is necessarily more developed or stronger, but, the bigger kid is definitely bigger! Of course the bigger guy will, as you say, be perceived as being the stronger one, just don't nessarily think that he is. I guess it's good to be extra tall though!
