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

      I saw very little athleticism and no vertical

      We'll see how he turns out

I think when kids are that big early on it really stunts their development...they don't have to develop post moves or work to dominate. By the time they realize other guys are big/strong and they need to work it's too late.

          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.

            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.

                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.

                  That's what I was thinking, he didn't even look 7 ft to me, but he must've been going against HS AAU kids?
