I can't see an AAU or high school coach playing that guy at forward.

Re: He's been called the next Kevin Durant
I saw very little athleticism and no vertical

We'll see how he turns out

By the time they realize other guys are big/strong and they need to work it's too late.

Re: He's been called the next Kevin Durant
Kid is a beast. IDK what the rest of you saw, but for being 14 years old and 7'0 tall he is very coordinated and has really good skills.

Re: He's been called the next Kevin Durant
I hope he can stay healthy. You can't teach size and he has that. That wingspan looks freakish.

I hope he is on Roy's radar.

Dude is pretty nice for a huge human, AND for being 14.

Re: He's been called the next Kevin Durant
He does look good in the video, but if he's 7' than how tall are those other guys? I have hard time believing there are a bunch of 6'8"-10" middle school kids out there...I don't buy that he's 7' from looking a the videos. He does have some good skills for his age though.
