Believe me, he's 6'11, Theresa plaicance, the freshman girls basketball player has a little brother who's a sophomore and about 6'7 and thon dwarfs him.. And He's at the world wide8th grade John Lucas basketball camp which is why the kids are so big.

For a 6'11" 14 year old, he moves incredibly well.

Definitely. He should probably be working with a legit, private big-man tutor that can help him with his game, but more importantly, help him with his S&C and teach him how to take care of his body.

For whatever height he is he's pretty coordinated. Most kids that tall and skinny can hardly jog.
