Standing reach, verticial, approach reach for a man?


Question
QUESTION: What is considered to be a good standing reach, vertical and approach for someone of my height? I'm a guy of 6 foot and play as libero

ANSWER: Good evening and welcome to www.allexperts.com!  
I don't often work with men, but being a 6'1" guy, and playing a lot when I was in my 20's - 40, I think I have a good idea on the answers to your questions.
Standing Reach:  7'9"
Vertical:  23"
Approach Reach:  9'10"
I'm assuming you are in your 20's or 30's, are of reasonable weight and arm length, and a good athlete (not poor and not a freak).  

Now, I'm sure there will be many comments saying that these numbers are too low/high.   :)  You all are free to email me at [email protected], if you ever wish to chat with me about this or anything else.

QUESTION: well im only 17 years old and i weight 155 pounds

Answer
OK, thank you.
I still think I'm about right.
I was above average athletically, I imagine you are too.
I was jumped about 22" in my best days.  
Do those #'s sound about right to do?  I'm thinking when you do your entire spike approach, you will come up a few inches short of touching a basketball goal.  Is that the case?  Most 6' boys cannot touch the basketball rim.  Many can, most cannot.  If you can, then you're above average jumper.  If can dunk a basketball, then you're must be jumping better than 23" or you have exceptionally long arms (which, if you do, would mess up my standing & approach reach numbers).  
Hope this helps some.
And hope you have a super week!
