player A. the higher vertical makes me assume he's more athletically-gifted since it takes both upper & lower body strength to jump higher. player B may be foul-prone since he'll swipe at balls knowing he has the longer reach vs. player A, and he'll be more tired at the end of games from having the longer, heavier arms. the more proportional the body of a player, the better his balance...which may translate to better shooting & dribbling. :)

im gonna go ahead and say both, i can have 12 boys on my team and at 14 years old none of them come close to six feet, just kidding
i would take player B, hes got the size and the reach, and 20 extra pounds isnt gonna have that big of affect, even though player A has 4 extra inches of reach...player B is a half inch taller and has 4 extra inches of wingspan so player B has the edge on rebounds, he will also be able to shoot over some taller guys

Player A:
I agree with Vinny on his statement. Plus, at 240, the player is just a little harder to push around in the paint.

Do you mean physical or mental skills? Do they practice hard? Do they have heart? Are they a cancer like T.O.?
