Hello,
At your age the main thing to do is to test growth hormone levels, thyroid hormone levels for possible deficiency. In case of deficiency, you should discuss with an endocrinologist in order to take growth hormone. Otherwise, basketball can help improve your situation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
