Obviously skills are most important, but what height is generally ideal for each position at Under 18 level for guys?

PF
SF
SG
PG

guards not really an issue
but for centre anything from 195 cm up
3-4 players 185 cm up would be a good start
a pg has to be no less than about 5-10 before it becomes a disadvantage. i think a 3-man should be at least 6-2 and a three 6-4
Skill is more important but if you could have your dream sizes
PG 180-188
SG 185-193
SF 190-196
PF 193-200
C 196-203

^^your PG is a bit short IMO. The rest are fairly accurate, obviously when you get to PF, C you want the players filling those positions to be at tall as you can get. That is if you are disreguarding skill level.
I'd say a lot of SA juniors would be severelly lacking in height then

Height don't always show how good your team is.
Skills being a factor.
PG (Any height if he got control)
SG 185 - 193
SF 188 - 195
PF 195 - 202
C 197+
the point can be ran by the SG or even the SF at this lvl
Well if these are the ideal heights for players at an u/18 level who are stuck playing center/power forward and are only 185-190cm. SA obviously is lacking in height.
