Tallest teen in the world commits to the Gators

Nah put him on the regimen.
500 jumpers each block.
500 jumpers each elbow.
250 jumpers each corner, wing, and top of the key.
100 free throws with 10 straight to go home.

None of these really tall players ever seem to work out in the NBA.

Humans aren't made to be that large and/or move that much at that size.

Mureshan,tacko fall & manute bol already have proven these lanky stilt built dudes don’t work in the nba

At 7'7" with no health issues or deformities you'll always buy a ticket on the one who might.

Damn, I hope he's not going to be sorry but it's not looking good. Buddy is 7'7". He looks like my man Tiny (RIP) from The House of 1000 Corpses.

 

[GnauzBookOfRhymes]

Lmao he is terrible. No skills. Clearly a gamble for UF that teaching him a cpl post moves and a half hook will get them 15/10 a game.

 

[Mindfield333]

Damn I remember him from a few years ago.

I don’t think this was that goofy looking one that looked fragile some years ago.

He's a Canadian kid. He wasn't great at the U19 tourney this past summer, but he does move decently for a 7'7 kid who's been growing as fast as he is.

I think he's still only a junior. He's 17. Give him a couple years to get comfortable and settle into his body and he could be a useful piece in college


I doubt he has an NBA future but he could be a really good player in Europe if he keeps developing and avoids injury

 

[OperationNumbNutts]

He'll be great if they run old school basketball where he can dominate the center.

 

[staticshock]

Damn, he moves alot better than i expected at 7'7.....

He does not look that great IMO.

he slow as shyt.

word

you can always improve

true shooters touch isn't a matter of practice though & ain't never really seen a big man that was a natural in that regard just a born dead eye

Should have gone to Florida State so I could say "Tallest teen takes talents to Tallahassee" but whatever

 

[broller]

He looks like a NBA player. Very impressive physique for being a teenager and 7'7". Might end up being yoked which is super rare for really tall guys. Also his mobility isn't too bad.

Definitely a guy to watch moving forward.

Yeah I was gonna say he doesn't look skinny like Manute Bol or even Chet when he was in high school

He doesn't need Curry/Ray type of touch. Just catch and be reliable for 2 out of 5.

 

[Sleepy Floyd]

He actually looks very proportional and healthy compared to other players who have reached that height.

i get what you are saying

it may not be possible though

lots of bigs are cursed with a dead shooting touch no amount of practice can bring to life HA
