At least 8'6.
He's basically the exact same length to height ratio as Hayward (actually taller/longer) and his measured at 8'7.

to give an idea, labaron philon was 6'4" in shoes with a wingspan of 6'6" and had the same standing reach. so he's a lot shorter, has shorter arms and had the same standing reach.
or
alijah martin who was only 6'3" in shoes, had a 6'7" wingspan and had the same standing reach.
Kobe Sanders had nearly the same height and wingspan and had a standing reach of 8'7"
I'm pretty low on McNeely but I should probably be higher. His stats don't look good because he had an off shooting year, but he's likely a great shooter. He gets to the FT line really well for a shooter and passes the ball well enough to be a good connective piece plus he has size plus he rebounds his position.
I want to like him, esp. since he measured with Hayward size, but in the few games I've seen, he just didn't make his shots (and a little bit like Collier, though not as extreme, his misses were all over the place). But some of the general basketball sense to just fit in does seem to be there.
I already posted about it: Lauri has always been very injury-prone, way before he came to the Jazz. Since he came into the league he missed more games than AD. He played 61 games in his only season with CLE, and before that when he was on the Bulls he played 68 games as a rookie (his highest number ever), and then 52, 50 and 51 games. Lauri is actually incredibly predictable and always misses 20-30 games per season.

Shot 87% from the FT line on high volume. Nearly unheard of for someone to have that high FT% in college who doesn't go on to be a good shooter

Also white guy named McNeeley... like people will close out to him no matter if it goes in or not. lol
Delon Wright was like an 85% ft shooter in college, and I would consider him a below average shooter in the NBA. He might be the exception to the rule, but he came to mind almost immediately (although I am a big Ute fan).
The other one that came to mind was Jimmer, but I had to look that one up. He was close to an 89% free throw shooter, but only shot an average 3pt% in the NBA.
I think the key here is probably wings that shot 80% ft% or higher in college and weren't good shooters in the NBA, and I can't think of any.
Nevermind, it took me like 2 minutes to find an example. Kyle Singler was a 6'9" SF out of Duke and shot 80% from the free throw line, but was only a 36% 3pt shooter in the NBA.
