Hi Kenny,
Not a lot you can do about this as it's mostly down to your genetic make-up. The best you can do is to exercise regularly, eat healthily and get a good amount of sleep.
If you want to find out approximately how tall you will be you can try this formula [Mayo Clinic.com]
- Add the mother's height and the father's height in either inches or centimetres.
- Add 5 inches (13 centimetres) for boys or subtract 5 inches (13 centimetres) for girls.
- Divide by two. Most children will reach an adult height within 4 inches (10 centimetres) of this estimation.
Final thought - work on your explosive plyometric strength, as this will help you to jump higher and dunk in future!
All the best,
