Funny how each site considers him taller and taller. Regardless, those are ridiculous skills for a pre-teen. We'll definitely know his name as we near the 2030 draft.

I couldn't envision him skipping a year of euro pro leagues to play in college for a season but perhaps somebody will pay him well enough to try it out.

Time is relative, but this dude is working on a different calendar. His 12 years equal a normalized 18-20.

Most big men that have grown that fast have an adjustment period where they have to figure out their body and not be/look so goofy on the floor.
If the world is getting to a point where athletes are skipping that stage, and stepping on the floor with that type of coordination?
We all thought Porzingis/Wembanyama were unicorns?
The world is going to start pumping these types of athletes out like an assembly line!


I know I am going to sound like a hater, but I find it VERY hard to believe that a kid as young as 12yrs is able to bang like that in a 17U setting.
I do not believe that this kid is as young as we say he is, but that is also the gift of coming from overseas.
Nobody is pressing to see a birth certificate or anything (yet).

Good luck to you in the future kid!
I hope you are able to make it to the NBA if that is what you aspire to do.
Haha I hate on the kid, then turn around and wish him luck?
