The French phenom has been listed at varying heights between seven-foot-two and seven-foot-five ahead of his much-anticipated arrival in the NBA.
The NBA itself listed him at seven-foot-four in its guide for the Draft at the Barclays Center in New York.
He was not at the Draft combine in May as he was still competing for French team Mets 92, which meant there was no official measurement from the NBA until now.
Incredibly, Wemby is half an inch taller than he said he was back in October, when he was in Las Vegas for a pair of exhibition games.

This seems to imply that the center's massive frame has grown since the ages of 18 and 19.
Wembanyama's official height now makes him the second-tallest player in the NBA behind the seven-foot-four Boban Marjanovic and ahead of the seven-foot-three Kristaps Porzingis.
During a recent dinner with Spurs legends, Wemby showed how tall he was as he towered over seven-foot-one David Robinson and six-foot-eleven Tim Duncan.
Wembanyama will soon show off his skills for the Spurs in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas.

Meanwhile, Wembanyama will reportedly have a chance to redeem himself after botching the ceremonial first pitch he threw at a recent New York Yankees game.
The San Diego Padres' Double-A minor league affiliate, the San Antonio Missions, is believed to have invited Wemby to throw out a ball before one of their upcoming games.
