Does a player's height, and or weight make any statistical difference at all. For instance: I have a 6', 185 lb pg, who is rated by my players  role guide, as my best player at every position.  So,what if I played him at C, against a player who was 6'10", and weighed 250 lbs? In real life no matter how talented he might be, the bigger guy could probably take advantage of his height, and weight advantage, and have a big scoring night. But,  he may struggle defensively, because of the smaller player's speed, and quickness. So my question is does height, and weight play any role at all, or is everything just strictly based on a player's ratings? Thanks in advance to all who provide answers.

The effects of height and weight are assumed to be incorporated into the player ratings. Height and weight themselves are window dressing. So, all else being equal, a player 6'2, 191 with a 60 rebounding rating will do it every bit as good/bad as someone 6'6, 225. 

Rednu's absolutely correct here.  If you've got a guy who has 100 REB, DEF, ATH, and SPD, but he's short?  Maybe that's Elgin Baylor in disguise.  And he will absolutely outrebound a player who's got 95 REB, DEF, ATH, and SPD (and the same IQs), even if that other player is Sim Bhullar's size.
