All players have about 2 inches tacked on to their “actual” height but it varies.
Like neo’s actual height at the combine was like 6’7.25 but he’s listed at 6’9.
Hansberry is listed at 6’8 but, Neo is actually about an inch taller, you can see that out on the court. I’d put Hansberry’s actual height at 6’6, he does have probably a 7 foot wingspan to make up for that tho, luckily.

And for Neo he gets way more attention when someone says he’s 6’9 pg rather than 6’7.

I’ve been next to him a few times and he looks about my height of 5’8”.

I remember thinking if JRob was listed as 6’-1” that he is probably 5’-10” in reality. My 5’-9” son has a picture with he and JRob and he looked about 4” shorter which surprised me but probably should have believed the data. I guess small guards just look smaller when you have a 6’-9” point guard playing alongside of you as is the case with Hammond
