NBA Ready at Just 17 an 8-Foot-Tall Basketball Phenom

Poor guy looks like he can't run or jump properly without risking injury.

That dude looks like he’s nowhere near NBA ready.

Zero effort or force behind any movement and the dribbling is so bad he would lose the ball the moment he put it down.

Shaq was tearing rims down at this point, this kid moves like Shaq does today.

When you're this tall they practically force you into try outs.

I can't imagine how much this sucks

His joints will be shot at 20. Poor kid has no muscle tone

Big kid but way to slow

I wonder if any checked for a pituitary gland tumor. They could have halted is growth. There are numerous health conditions that come with this height.

Is it called a jumper if he never has to jump?

He looks incredibly unskilled. There's been plenty of tall people who don't pan out
