A member asked:
If a boy is 6ft1 at 15 yrs. old with a 6ft6 wingspan, size 14 shoes, big hands and parents are 5ft10 & 5ft6. how tall would he be by the his mid 20's?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say: At this point, he is taller than projected height by genes (m+f/2+2.5 inches) by more than 3 inches.If he entered puberty at the normal time he may gain 2 inches or so but not much more. A single x-ray of the wrist and hand can be graded for bone maturity.If his bone age is more like 13 he could grow much more, if more like 17 he is almost finished.
