 All I can think of is Magic Johnson, Lamar Odom, And Kelly Olynyk. Can anyone give me examples of Guards that suddenly shot up and height then grew really tall and could still handle, and pass, like these guys could. TP's for anything relevant.

One of the most well publicized cases was David Robinson, who was reportedly about 6'4" when he entered the Naval Academy as a freshman.

Rodman grew something like 8 inches between 18-20.  And Carmelo was a PG for the first couple years of high school.

James played at the 2 his entire first season at Cleveland. I think he was around 6'7 then.
