24 points and 14 rebounds a game playing 2A basketball? Come on, kid! You gotta step your game up!

at his size it should be more like 45 and 30.
On some real shite, it's probably tough to be that kid. He's 7'5" and 17 years old, probably can't go anywhere without people gawking at him, and now he's plastered all over the internet.
Hope he does well at the next level, it certainly looks like he has the tools.
This picture is priceless

But on the real, he looks uncoordinated as a baby...awkward and clumsy, which is to be expected. I suppose as he grows into his frame, this will improve. But as of right now, he won't be overly effective at the next level once he gets someone who is 6'10'', 250 on him. But i'm sure they will coach him up to be more powerful.

and people freak out about Wilt Chamberlains stats back in his day... this is pretty much how it was.
A giant dude playing against a bunch of small, fundamentally sound white dudes.
you really don't have to be good if you're tall.

Another one.
His skills was fairly impressive for a 7'5" high schooler. Players that young and tall are usually way less coordinated.

he's a junior. it will allow him to dominate HS ball, and he will get by and probably start for a few years in college, which is great. Gets a free education. But I doubt he makes it to the pros in this day and age.

i should have said...i doubt he makes any impact in the NBA (i.e., becomes a starter or plays significant minutes). he may make an NBA roster, but he won't do squat. IMO. he's only 17, though. still a long time to develop
Posted on 2/7/12 at 2:27 pm to quail man
I'm sure he's a good kid and wish him the best, but being that tall really doesnt promise you a future basketball career (esp in the NBA). He looked beyond slow, clumsy, and unskilled. Granted he's still a kid but I doubt we ever hear his name on the professional level
