Nexus Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 It's not quite fair to say that high school junior Mamadou Ndiaye stands out. It's more like he stands above. At 7-foot-5, Ndiaye is easily the tallest high school basketball player in California, and we can pretty much safely say, the rest of the country as well. In fact, Ndiaye is so tall that the Guinness World Records recently tried to track down an official measurement to determine if he is the tallest high school basketball player in the world.

n.e.husker Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Wow... Wonder if UConn is recruiting him, they did pretty well with Hasheem Thabeet(From Tanzania, now in the NBA) a few years ago. Quote Link to comment
ShawnWatson Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 He may be tall but he is absoloutely horrible at basketball. Quote Link to comment
n.e.husker Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 All about development of the fundamentals, Im sure he is still getting used to being that tall while trying to be coordinated. Quote Link to comment
EZ-E Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Wow. He needs to find a meanstreak. But if he did, he may kill someone... Quote Link to comment
redout22 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I saw this a couple weeks ago.. Hopefully the kid can stay healthy Quote Link to comment
BigBL87 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 He may be tall but he is absoloutely horrible at basketball. Ya, he looks awkward, but if he gets more used to his size and even learns fundamentals, his size will kill. You can teach defense, shooting, passing, etc., but you can't teach size.

adam1994 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 my neck hurts watching that video...the kid is average, he needs to learn how to use his size more to his advantage Quote Link to comment
AR Husker Fan Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 The very first thing he needs - above even fundamentals - is conditioning. Quote Link to comment
walksalone Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 The very first thing he needs - above even fundamentals - is conditioning. yeah, he's no good if he's winded after a couple minutes... even with that being said, he'll go to a pretty good D1 program I'd imagine...
