That guy is massive. That's just crazy. He iced Wanda too.
Dont know if this is true, but I heard he can stand flat footed and dunk a ball....
found a pic....i was watching sportscenter and some there is this college kid tahts like 7'9 dude looks like cavemen
I have tickets to see him Saturday playing just outside of DC area (Rockville, MD), I understand he will be facing Manute Bol (7'7") and Gheorge Muresan(7'7"), so it should be interesting to say the least.
Cant imagine a 7'9" guy being rejected but it could happen.
If he's a fierce as Yao Ming i wouldn't be surprised to see Allen Iverson going right up the lane and putting in a layup right through him.
Ok, boys and girls, I saw him Saturday. Yes, he is a big man, in 1 on 1 drills he shows some skills. He looks athletic and smooth....but......come game time 5 on 5, he becomes much smaller.
He stands 7' 9" and can dunk without jumping....however, when he does jump he may have only a 2" vertical......he has a bad habit of bringing the ball down to the other players height. He doesnt use his body well, plays an ok zone D (stands under basket) and as long as he sees you coming he is ok, but you set pick and rolls and he doesnt adjust quickly.
Granted, it was his first game, but he lacks many many "expected" skills. He has decent touch, but prefers the outside shot vs. posting and moving toward the basket.
All in all, its no reason why he isnt in the NBA. He is raw, but clearly fun to see play. Finally, his endurance leaves a lot to be desired.
Yes, his team won, 115 to 110, but mostly got hot with him on the bench.
