Giannis Adetokoubo also getting lots of buzz

He is an 18 year old 6'9", 205lb SF/"Point Forward" from Greece (he is of Nigerian descent). His freak athleticism has been getting him LOTS of buzz for awhile now. He has a giant 7'3" wingspan and huge hands.
However while all of the scouts are in Europe for EuroCamp, he played for the first time out of Greece in the U-20s v Turkey and played extremely well (17pts/5r/1a), and played reasonably well v Croatia. Lots of scouts were in attendance and took notice apparently.
He is the ultimate boom or bust guy. He is 18 years old and playing against players older than him almost always, but apparently looks great most of the time, but his age shows a lot of the time as well.
He's projected in the 20s right now, but could go higher.

Someone needs to tell AFA he can't re-enter the draft.

Throw that video out of the window. He was clearly a man amongst boys. We could get us a squad and give him more competition that that.

FWIW, DraftExpress has him as thier #23 prospect and Saric as their #26 prospect.
On that note, how is his shot?
They have him at 6'9" 196 lbs. That's pretty light. I'm also guessing that since he's 18, that he will likely grow another inch or so and end up around 6'10"-6'11"?

Didn't this guy grow 6 inches in the last 8 months or something?
