Future Adult height potential?!


Question: hi, thx for your time. I have a buddy who is 16 yrs old wanted me to ask some doctors a question for him, so here it is.

Ok, my question is specifically about height. Particularly how tall your team thinks i will be.
Now my parents (particularly my dad thinks I will grow to be about 6'5 maybe even 6'6 once I become physically active again(Use to play football). Currently I'm 16 and a half roughly 5'9. But heres where it gets tricky. My doctor thinks that I have that tall potential due to the fact that we (my doctor and I) agree that I just
started puberty ( a few months ago).Also my arm span is 6'3, I wear a size 13 Shoe which is the same size my 6 foot 3 brother wears.I just very recently noticed facial hair starting to grow in, before i had none.(I still dont have half a mustache!) My parents height is; Dad:5'10.5 Mom:5'6 The only tall people are on my dads side which i think i have taken after, because growth predictors using my parents height put me at 5'9/5'10. My grandparents are also short on my moms side. My dads side i hear we had a 6'1 lady and a 6'4 male some were. So pleas give me your best opinion on how tall you think I will Grow.Also, he has a 10 degree curve in his lower spine, his doctor told him that was a sign of rapid growth. I think the name of the medical condition is called Scoliosis

- thx for your opinions

Okay.
Heres the thing. guys usually hit puberty around 16 but don't stop until they are in thier 20ies. Yeah..There is a chance that he may grow to be 6'7". But as far as predictable. He'll be at least 6'3" like his brother.Plus. You need to grow into your arms. They are kinda long. (lol) The 10 degree curve is a sign of rapid growth. And the body should accommodate that curve by making him taller.
