Wow... Wonder if UConn is recruiting him, they did pretty well with Hasheem Thabeet(From Tanzania, now in the NBA) a few years ago.

He may be tall but he is absoloutely horrible at basketball.

Wow. He needs to find a meanstreak. But if he did, he may kill someone...

I'm sure Doc is all over him..............especially if there is a possibility of foot issues...................

 

[adam1994]

my neck hurts watching that video...the kid is average, he needs to learn how to use his size more to his advantage

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...
