He looks like an urban thug. I say that for no other reason than because he's black.
1st overall pick in 2018 Draft tbh. Handles & jump shot of a guard. #1 player in Class of 2016 HS rankings.

Well then...
Dude's got money in his future.
What position would he play? Too skinny to be center. Point forward???
He's a little more rigid than I would like to see in terms of athleticism. Obviously talented for his size, but he doesn't appear to be the type of athlete from that video that will just blow up.
Very good mobility for his size. That being said, there's a 7 foot something high school prodigy every year.
Guard moves on a 7 footer, kid definitely has the potential to be something special.
Those skinny legs- if he will not bulk it up- looks like an Anderson Silva or Kevin Ware to happen.
what an original take, tbh..
It will all depend on how he fills into his frame. I'd say somewhere between a taller Durant and a Black Dirk.
People forget how skinny Shaq was in hs.
edit: not that this dude is Shaq...just saying

Hasheem Tabeet 2.0, tbh.
This kid is already better than Thabeet is now imo.
He's the black Ryan Richards.
Big Australian kid.
Well considering this kid was born the same year Tim Duncan was drafted, I wouldn't expect him to be jacked.
is still a high school kid don't forget, most high school athletes look super skinny imho. Even Lebron was rather thin when he first joined the league. Unibrow is still light like a pelican after being in the league for more than one year, yet he's undoubtedly established himself as a superstar already.
The guy's a sop re. He's playing against 15yr olds, Just look at the players around him - they all look like children. Way too early to be saying he's a first overall pick.
Plus is it just me, or does he have some tiny hands? Small hands is one of the worst things a big-man can have. The PF/C positions in the NBA involve lots of tricky passes/catches and tough as rebounding. He's a terrific talent for his age, sure. But way to early to be blowing any wads
He looks ethiopian to me not sierra leone ie he doesn't look american at all. I am guessing all black people look the same to you.
It's post like these that make me doubt your a en. He is 7'1" with long legs. He is able to sink his hips and bend his legs exceptionally well but there are just realities that a 7'1" high cut man has to deal with. He moves like Kevin Garnett to me.
He needs to bulk up quite a bit and get some post moves,or his other choise is going the Durant/Dirk way which is WAY more difficult.
My main concern with him is that he'll go down the road of all the other 7 foot high school busts which is by trying to develop an "all around game" instead of just specializing in the mid-range/post area. That's what all these AAU playas try and do, try and develop an unnecessary nigtastic perimeter game which means less time working in the post. I remember Jeremy Tyler highlight tapes of him doing some cool moves on the perimeter and hitting threes against kids 6 inches shorter than him and doing some sweet windmills in warmups. Turns out that didn't work out too well for him.
