    Too easy for him! He doesn't look good, though. Doesn't look good enough for a big college, and certainly not for the NBA, even allowing for a few years of development!

    Obviously he needs a bit of work, something his senior year in High School and then 4 years in college would give him! Division one school are watching him, and Pac-12 scouts are openly seen at the games!

    We've been here before. I foresee a career of injured limbs for him.

    Manute Bol, anybody?

    I wouldn't be surprised if this guy really struggles in college and the nba if hr makes it. Hes gonna be defended by bigger guys there. In high school he can just walk around people. Coaches will have to work on his post game from the ground up to get rid of the bad habits hes gotten from playing against such small guys.

    Seen it so many times in different sports, especially basketball, where someone has a massive growth spurt and/or is more well built than others and can sort of ''bully'' their way to being very good, then as soon as they hit college they come up against players with more natural ability and who are also obviously bigger and/or stronger too.

    Wouldn't be surprised at all if this was another one of those cases.
