If that kid is 14... then Brittney Griner is a woman.


No, but really... hopefully he doesn't have one of those deformities where he doesn't stop growing.  He'll probably fill out as he gets older.

nice footwork and mobility.  looks young so 14 is believable.  probably in the 6'10" to 6'11 range as the video on yahoo actually says 6'11 (billed as a 7 footer).

he's got the body type of manute bol, which makes it easy to picture him growing to 7'5+, however, he could very easily end up a 7 footer at maturity (which would probably be the best thing for his body and his game). remember derrick caracter was a 6'9" 15 year old and he's now a 6'9" pro.

doesn't seem to have great athleticism, which suggests he either doesn't possess it, or he really is 14 and will gain that over the next several years (which would be scary).

for a 7 footer, very little ups/athleticism

Tough crowd.

If this kid is really 14 and 7 feet tall, his skillset is very impressive.  Regarding his ups, a skinny 14 year old who just had a growth spurt isn't going to have the same ups as when he's 18+.

If this kid needs an adoptive family in the US, please email me.  If he stays healthy, he's probably going to be a first round draft pick.

Looking at his face, he looks like many of the young teenagers in my neighborhood, which is incredible being how tall he is.
