Answer 1

Your daughter is tall for her age and will be a giant when she comes of age

Answer 2

Yes the WNBA has very diffrent height group compared to the NBA, while 6ft is a minimum in the NBA in the WNBA it is a luxury. I think that she should practice for the SF position that way she can both go down to SG or up to PF depending on what needed. And if she doesn't make it then theres always Europe.

Answer 3

By the time she turns 16, she should be close to 6ft, which is a pretty decent height for he WNBA. They are a few players that are taller but around 6ft should be good. But she should know what position she wants to play, your height kind of plays a part. If your 6ft, Center won't be a good choice. 6ft players should play either PG, SG, or SF... it depends. Your daughter is young yet, he has plently more growing to do. Maybe she might be taller than 6ft, im not a doctor, i wouldn't know.

Answer 4

I coach girls softball and it is amazing how big some of these 10 year olds are. Your daughter is taller then probably  98% of the girls her age. However some girls mature faster then others and stop growing. My sister is the same height at 40 that she was at 11. So unlike some of the people who are answering your question I would not try to predict her final height, but she is big for her age.
