As a 5'6" giant, undersized was an understatement. Going into the lane was a foreign concept in HS. I guess that's why I played most of my minutes on the bench because I just wasn't tall enough. Most of my minutes were played faceguarding an opponent because the "better player" was earning too many fouls. I blame my parents for that physical deficiency
