Is this a Sidd Finch situation?

 

[Mr. French]

That kid was at IMG I think, right? Wild how huge he is.

 

[Dove]

Deny the pass!!!!

Next assignment for Alex

That kid will break down so quickly. I would hate to see the stress that’s been put on his body growing so fast

 

[CL82]

I love that number four is actually trying to execute the box out by using the old "sit on his thigh" technique. The problem is his butt barely reaches that kids thigh.

That sure was a curious case.

Dan Hurley would love Sidd Finch. Meditation and sage before every practice.

He plays for Florida so I doubt he'll be replacing Clingan as our starting center

Details. Mere details!

In any event, Reed, would destroy this kid.

 

[HuskyBoi]

I didn't know Storrs South was considered Gainesville now

 

[Kitaman]

If he can jump high then he will be unstoppable.

LOL at 7'9" he doesnt even really need to jump:

He isn't built the same way Edey and Clingan were. He's got that tall guy horse face. Makes me wonder if he's bound to have health issues.

 

[AllHusky]

Hmmm, dreaded “Tall Guy Horse Face Syndrome”. Won’t make it past sophomore year!

It sometimes indicates a thyroid condition...

Every day, on the Boneyard, knowledge expands! No offense meant to the youngster.

[storrsroars]

Damn. Dude actually has some bulk to him as well, not a Manute Bol build. Hope for his sake he stops growing.

 

[uconnfan68]

Doesn’t even play for IMG. Need to see what happens in Florida, but you can’t teach 7’9”.

yeah. His legs look really sturdy and not like a newborn giraffe with knees knocking looking like theyre about to give. He should look into some treatment options to get that growth to stop. 7`9 is already pushing beyond the limits of what a human is supposed to be.

I skipped that thread as we already have Clingan's replacement

Here's a report from And One, suggesting he likely won't see much time on court @Florida his first two years, primarily due to needing to learn how to play adequate defense vs bulkier 5s, and how to play in a more sophisticated offense where he's got to learn floor spacing. Seems odd to think that at 7'9" he'd be a liability, but there it is. Anyway, interesting analysis:

He has no chance.

 

[uconnbill]

I hope he stops growing as well. The health issues down the road will be tough to deal with.

I wish him well just not well if the play UConn

[Greedo]

I read on Reddit that he’s a PWO at Florida. Is that true?

 

[Mister P]

I hope he gets to 8’ benchmark just for the novelty and the shock and awe of it.
I remember watching Manute Bol walking out of the UB locker room for the first time and being stunned by his height. Rioux would blow that comparison away.

Hey, he’s trying. Gotta give him props
