Haha that 2h block from the twitter vid. More stuff. His rebounding is crazy. I wonder if he could get strong enough to do it vs ncaa+. But he just snatches the ball. His hands are weirdly good for his size.

Surprised that another normal-ish looking giant prospect is from Canada. French Canadian Zach Edey in a making?

He's not such a medical mutant like a Boban-type giant. His dad is 6'8" and his mom is 6'1 (which is about as rare as a 6'7" guy).

yea he's got a normal wingspan. I think he does have some disorder, though. People who have growth things have a weird kind of low voice, and his is like that. I care more about tall guys than ISB. !!!

haha nohomo, but I wish him the best. The one good thing about modern sports medicine and stuff is they can really build a guy like this from a young age. He was in the right program. We shall see what he does even in college.
