Mixtape for 2020 PG Ahron Ulis, Tyler's Brother

Nevermind - looks like you were correct if certain studies are corroborated, though the effect is limited. Here, have some research:

Sibling Heights
 
watching his mixtape a few things popped out to me.
  1. He was only playing at half speed. There is no way that he was playing against the varsity high school teams in this video. Those kids were so small, slow and not a single dunk was shown. (granted this was Ullis mixtape so maybe others did dunk but I would have thought he would have assisted in one or two)
  2. That being said, he showed that he certainly has the fundamentals down and will be more than likely a very good point guard.
  3. He looked to be as tall as Tyler is now, or almost. So with another 4-5 years of growth maybe he will get to 5'10" before getting to college.
  4. He shoots very well.

Good find, but my problem with that study is the age range 3 - 10. How many kids have a growth spurt after 10? After 13? Or in AD's case after 16?

It may still be correct but i'm not 100% all in.

That's certainly true, although with a big enough sample size, you'd think the moderately strong (obviously not airtight) correlation between taller child -> taller adult would get you there.

But yeah, it would be nice to see an adult version.

There's a long, long history in sports of younger brothers turning out to be the stars of the family. Younger bro gets exposed to elite competition at an early age (via bro and his friends), younger bro grows up with a burning desire to prove himself.

If that happens here, I say yeah, and hell yeah.

I think Tyler should start bringing him by now to join in the pickup games and hang around the team. We'd have a built in pg four years down the road.

Looks like he will be taller than Tyler. His last name is already longer. [pfftt]
