      @calkelpdiver 2 года назад +8

      I agree. Fluid motion on his shot, no jerking of ball above or behind his head like other big men. Uses his legs as part of the shot. Definitely plays like a guard, good agility and quickness. If he can add 20 or so pounds of muscle to his upper body he'll be tough to defend inside and outside.
      Definitely has potential.

      I will assume that you've seen him play. All I see in the video are dunks and drives to the basket. The one jump shot early in the video didn't impress me. He got it off pretty fast, but he got almost no elevation and his release point was in front of him and looked VERY low.

      @rangerheir5821 2 года назад +3

      Not happening. It's not humanly possible for most people to be agile enough at 7'5 to be in the nba. 6'10 will still be a big, because that height is perfectly balanced.
      Ideally, in relation to how the body reacts, these are the ideal body sizes per position;
      PG: 6'1-6'3, 190-195
      SG: 6'3-6'5, 195-205
      SF: 6'5-6'7, 205-220
      PF: 6'7-6'9, 220-240
      C: 6'9-6'11, 240-265
      Anything below or above those heights and weights are just rare or minority cases, but they always tend to hover in between that range.
      If it were like how you said, then there'd be a shift in human genetics, as history proves it doesn't work to certain extents.
      This is further proved by the fact someone 2-3 inches shorter and lighter than you may have a speed edge on you to guard you better than someone of your stature can against you.
      Yes, there is sometimes the term positionless basketball thrown around, but at the end of the day everyone knows their role on a set team when they are being locked down by giannis or Slashing like tracy mcgrady.

    Good handle for his size. Very quick release. Pretty good athleticism. If he's truly 6 10 he could be a huge problem in the future.
