My gawd he's a unicorn if there ever was one.

Has there ever been a guy that tall in the NBA whose career wasn't way too short due to injuries?

Rik Smits?

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Rik Smits?

Yeah. And I'm sure it helped that (1) he wasn't super skinny and (2) his PT was always fairly low for a starter. I think he did have tons of health issues after his career. I think whoever picks this kid needs to manage him very carefully.

I hope he goes to the Pacers. But the Spurs are my bet, and maybe the best place for him

 

[DuklaNation]

Best pure talent since Lebron is probably right. Of course physics is going to play a major factor in his career and avoiding injury is unlikely. He's listed at 210 lbs so he's going to be physically tested in NBA. Getting bumped around a few times will be the test plus doubled constantly. Shooting arsenal in that video is impressive.

Oklahoma City Thunder

i remember creating players like that in NBA Live

just crazy

 

[Voight]

Kid looks like he will be an absolute star but Zion was also getting similar amounts of hype.

OKC would be a great landing spot.

 

[Dingleberry]

OKC would be interesting, they just picked a tall skinny guy who's gonna miss the season with injury. But anyone picking first will pick this guy.

 

[Elvis P]

Magic or Rockets.

 

[alko]

Hm, not much familiar with basketball. Comparing to NHL draft, where is he? Conor McDavid level? Higher? Lower?

Lindros maybe. Freak size and skill combo.

I don't even follow basketball but this guy is the definition of matchup nightmare.

At his height, he can get his shots over anyone and if his range extends beyond the 3point line...mercy. Even if you get his face he still has a variety of moves and blocking his shot is borderline impossible with his size and length.

 

[These Are The Days]

At this point he'll play games for the Magic before Jonathan Isaac does. Jesus Christ

 

[Power Man]

Well we are supposed to be tanking but the plan is falling apart lol

 

[ForsbergForever]

I think the Lakers are pretty much a lock at this point

 

[Jussi]

Well we are supposed to be tanking but the plan is falling apart lol

Define "we"?

 

[Power Man]

Define "we"?

Spurs
