To find the median height of the players, we need to arrange the heights in ascending order first: 69'', 72'', 74'', 77'', 77''.
The median is the middle value when the heights are in ascending order. If there is an odd number of values, the median is the middle value. If there is an even number of values, then the median is the average of the two middle values.
In this case, we have five heights, which is an odd number. So the median is the middle value.
The middle value is the third height, which is 74''. Therefore, the median height of the players is 74''.
