If anything, it makes wingspan numbers slightly *more* impressive.

I think it's more of a issue with guards. Being 5'10 and 6'1 simply isn't same
Jameer Nelson was a very, very short 6-footer. Most have him around 5'10" but I think that was generous.
Here he is looking 2 inches taller than Robinson:
So that could have Nelson in the 5'9" range.

It'll be interesting if there's someone who came out super young and is now like 3 inches taller than their listed height, haha. Doubtful there's any that extreme but could be interesting.
