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's a league wide thing so I would expect MOST players to lose an inch or two with a few players who happened to grow since being measured (or an accurate number was never floated) like Isaac to gain.

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.

Mayber former players that came direct from HS like KG, Kobe, TMac, Jermaine O'Neal or Kemp?
