Update on this:
I found Shawn Marion's 1999 draft measurement for height & weight in the old DraftExpress database.
Without shoes: 6'6.5"
With shoes: 6'7.75"
Weight: 220
So Shawn's 0.75" taller than Amen, along with a visually significant advantage in wingspan & reach. I'd estimate a standing reach somewhere in the 8'11" to 9'2" range, and a wingspan at least 7'2" if not more.

They both are listed as having 7 foot wingspans.
There's no official wingspan measurement for Marion as far as I know. I'd be very surprised if he wasn't at least as long as Jerami Grant and PJ Washington.
Grant:
- 6'6.5" barefoot height
- 7'2.75" wingspan
- 8'11" standing reach
Washington (2018 Combine, not 2019):
- 6'6.5" barefoot height
- 7'2.5" wingspan
- 8'11" standing reach
Guys that tall can have upwards of 7'6 to 7'7" wingspans. JoJo Tugler (6'6" with a 7'6" wingspan) and Chandler Lawson (6'7" with a 7'7" wingspan). It's unlikely Marion is that long, but he's definitely long.
