To find out how tall the son is, we need to find 1/4 of the player's height.

First, let's convert the player's height to a mixed number:
6 2/3 = 6 + 2/3 = 18/3 + 2/3 = 20/3 feet

Now, to find 1/4 of the player's height:
1/4 * 20/3 = (1 * 20) / (4 * 3) = 20/12 = 5/3 = 1 2/3 feet

Therefore, the son is 1 2/3 feet tall.
