College scouts be like. I like that one, that one, oh that 7’7” player don’t get enough passes from teammates. Could dominate with more touches, weight room diet, development. Still needs to grow into his height and coordination.
A person 1 foot taller than someone else, makes that someone look "tiny", because they are in fact, shorter... Wow, did you figure that out all by yourself? lmfffaaaooo
@@frankiethefrog1752 Tbh though they don't make them look as small... someone who's 6'7" still looks TALL, they just look _less_ tall next to someone 7'7". Someone 5'7" already looks kinda short to begin with and more so next to a 6'7" guy. Plus: 6'7" is ~18% taller than 5'7". 7'7" is ~15% taller than 6'7".
Been like that for a while they just didn't have a fancy name for it back then. In the 90's, my local AAU/travel team all had new cars for those old enough and I assure you they didn't buy them.
I assume it's because his height isn't caused by some disease, bro just has insane genetics. Other people that tall usually have some sort of disorder that makes them unable to stop growing so they develop weirdly.
It's crazy you've got the starting team which is all above 6 ft in the center was 610 but next to due to 77 they all look small he looks fairly mobile. He's got a lot of size to him he's not just a skinny skinny 77 he looks to be pretty solid. But I haven't really seen him run up and down the court yet. Not that he has to , hell it only takes him 3 steps. RLTW 3/75
I love that the big man is so unselfish ... He will definitely in my opinion be a triple double threat every night in the NBA if his knee's hold up ... Right now he isn't wearing anything that Indicates knee trouble.... If I was him I would wear some kind of previnitive support to lesson the chance of a knee injury.... I like where his game is headed but I think he needs to get more aggressive under the basket and turn into a straight bully.... I love the fact that he dishes it off to his teammates quite a bit... Now if he could get the same love back from his teammates his numbers will go up... They need to reward the big man for getting down the court with the rest of them when he does ...
Height for sure has its advantages, and Ollie 100% has his strengths, but his weaknesses are present too. Gotta play around your weaknesses and use your strengths to the fullest
I ended up here after reading a story about the 7'9" player, Olivier Rioux. My initial thoughts are that he's a 3-star recruit who needs more development. The fact that he's a 7'9 player who doesn't start says something about his present skills. Nor does he stay on the court long when he does play. Watching this video, it's obvious that he's not really a part of the offense on a team that can move the ball and score without him. He's big, but needs more time in the weight room to take full advantage of his size. He also needs more coaching / playing time to get a better sense of the game. If he can do those things and learn to be more aggressive on the court than Olivier Rioux could be a solid player. Just my two cents!
@@icomment7715 you forget, they transform themselves as light. They don’t publicly appear as they are. And among the class of people he is around, they eat humans. Literally. Marina Abromovic cooks for them. It’s not even something they keep secret anymore
Just know he’s going to have foot and or knee problems. Would be nice if he could hold off on big minutes until his bones are fully grown. Maybe 20 years old minimum and not grow any more. He’s such a nice kid. There’s a documentary or 20/20 type show with him in it. He needs to go to Tua’s jujitsu coach 😳
7'7, and not even starting!?!? IS THIS EVEN A HIGH SCHOOL!?!? HOW IN THE WORLD YOU GOT A 7'7 PLAYER, A COLD FOOTBALL TEAM, TRACK TEAM, TENNIS TEAM, AND OTHERS!?!?!
I swear #5 for the White Team fell down 7 or 8 times in this video. He fell 5x doing the exact same move alone. "The Fall down turn over". Like one of those Goats that gets startled
Tall dont make you good. Gotta put in work too. As a sophore in HS he'd be tallest in the NBA today and he has the weight to hold his own. Prioritize mobility training, work on opening your stride, and make long distance conditioning a habit and EARN that draft stock.
there are only ~30 - 100 ppl living in the world taller than him. holeh fook. I was at coachella and saw a 6'11" dude. 100k ppl there at once and he was heads and shoulders
He's tall that's about it. He'll be lucky to have a career as good as Tacko Fall. But he should still make some decent money compared to the average person just because of his insane height. He'll get a spot on a team somewhere overseas.
@@quebecome Olivier Rioux misses point blank layups against people a foot and a half shorter than him, can't dribble, can't shoot from outside, is slow, and unathletic. He's no better than Tacko was in high school.
@@BlueDrew10he doesn't need to be able to shoot when ur 7'7 all u need to work on is footwork stability and stamina those will come slowly to his game once he gets to college
@@anewrookiefreshman8716 You addressed a singular point, and you're still only half right. He could maybe make the NBA without a decent jump shot. Tacko Fall did. But he won't get minutes, especially when every other part of his game is terrible.

Sadly? Edey is the reigning Naismith winner. If this was the 90s era, he is a lottery pick. With hot the game has changed, he might be a second rounder. Either way, he will be playing professional ball. Which is more than most people can ever say.@@treywilliams9521
Even if this kid stays healthy and was agile, it would not be competitive anymore with the current standards. If the average height reaches above 7 feet or so, then the basket rim height should be higher and the court longer and wider!
Just did a little research and apparently there are 2800 7fts in the world. And with 480 spots in a 32 team league (which will soon be the nba when the expansion happens), it would take about 15-20% to have a league full of 7fts
1:57 buddy is pointing (at someone who is legitimately playing basketball, he is trying to block vision of the inbounds pass) as if they don't have a whole donut on the scoreboard, like... play the fucking game lmao
They need to work on his 4" vertical leap. He's too used to playing against kids half his height and not needing to jump. He's far too slow and isn't aggressive enough to play at the level his teammates are at. His future is going to be a 7'7" bench warmer.
Because against any decent team, that play isn't going to work. 7'7 guy has no skill or athleticism, and below average strength. It doesn't benefit the tall player or his team to practice point blank standing layups against
Dude isn’t athletic… he’s moving around like he’s playing against toddlers. Once he gets to college he will realize his size doesn’t translate to skill.
