Generally, not automatically.....just like men are stronger than women, but not all men are stronger than all women. My point is that each player should be judged on his own merits and not disqualified base on a rigid set of preconceived notions. Yes, taller players generally have an advantage of reach, but even that is not always the case. A 5-4 player with 9-ft arms will have a good reach.....
