Zaccharie Risacher made gain nobody saw coming if Larry Nance Jr. is right

In the NBA, height isn't as concrete as it may seem on the surface. The "height" stat that you find for players is self-reported, leading to discrepancies in the data. For instance, Jalen Johnson is listed as 6'8, his height without shoes as measured by combine measurements. Dyson Daniels lists his height as 6'7, which the combine confirmed is his height with shoes.

Some players even continue to grow while an NBA player, leading to an outdated height stat. This might just be the case for Zaccharie Risacher after Larry Nance Jr. claimed on the Hoop Collective Podcast that the 2024 first-overall selection has grown since last season.
