Apartments often have 8’ ceilings. Doorways 7’. Might have to custom make his bed, furniture, everything. Saw a clip and he moves very well, at a thin 300 lbs. Also blocks shots nicely. From Canada was at IMG in HS in Bradenton.

I’m not sure I get your point. You are listing players that are shorter than this kid…

The world's tallest teenager, 7-foot-9 Olivier Rioux, plans to redshirt at Florida this season
The world’s tallest teenager might have to wait a year to become the world’s tallest college basketball player.
On the plus side, he's not stick-thin like Bol, Bradley, etc.
On the other hand, he moves in slow motion.
And apparently was quite the ladies man

Slower than the past Central Florida giant? I forget his name.

Yeah, but is that barefoot or in sneakers?

Tacko Fall? Yeah, judging by that video, Fall is his ceiling.
Fall played parts of 3 seasons in the NBA! He was certainly slow but developed some fluidity.

This thread has everything. Completely inaccurate take on player height and the advantage a women has dating a guy who is over 8’ tall.

Tacko did have that nice tournament game against Zion Williamson in 2019. But unfortunately, Duke ended up winning. It was a good game to watch until the ending.

Maybe we're not taking into account the Canadian conversion that down sizes the big fella.
Reminds me of the running joke back in the day of converting Denham Browns 111 point game in HS up in Canada that had a conversion reduction to around 40 US points. I really loved the Brown & Shad combo back in the 2000s. Both could score in bunches but neither could defend their position all that well. Funny how many remember and bring up Anderson but rarely, if ever, do the same with Brown. Though Shad had some very memorable shots, that's for sure.
barely. dukes weaknesses were on full display though. the fact they lost any games that year (with zion) is inexcusable
