I find it interesting that some heights are updated by the teams/league and statistics sites while not on others. For example, Jalen Green is still listed at 6’4” despite multiple confirmations as well as self-confirmation that he is 6’6”. Naturally, I have follow up questions like why do they update it for some players and not others and what’s the benefit of not having the most updated detail? Is there an advantage? Or is it laziness, oversight, and procedural? If procedural, what’s the specific rule? I’m just interested since the league became more strict about these measurements a few years back including mandating combine measurements participation unless you have an exception (scheduling conflict with other basketball commitment but need to makeup).

Even if he did, it will not be noticeable to us

That’s a big help to Sengun cause his wingspan isn’t that crazy, and he looks like he’s more likely to put on 10-15 lbs over the next few years of *not* just muscle.
If he takes initiative to study defensive positioning he can be more than just the rare playmaking center who rebounds well. He’ll be a legit all nba player, and nightly triple double threat.
In my perfect world he becomes a Raptors Mark Gasol type defender and shooter before he enters his late 20s.

Fiba has him as 2.08 m. That’s around 6’10 barefoot.

He ends with “we’ll see.”
What could that mean???????? We all need to collectively open our third eye to decipher.
