He actually has respectable numbers. But yeah, he isn't the best.

Wow, that dude is crazy big. He makes Shaq look small. Imagine if he had some skills, he would be scary. I wonder if he gets an opportunity to play after college due to his size. I would think someone would sign him to throw in the d league or something to see if he can develop. The NY Times says he has an 8'5" wingspan fingertip to fingertip too .

he is worse then Shawn Bradley...so sad.
he only had 4 REBOUNDS ....wtf how can you be that tall but only come up with 4 boards in the most important game of your career...he is the an example of playing the sport because people told him he should not because he wanted to.....I have no idea what occupation he would be good at besides acting.

Umm if he didn't want to he would've quit. It's not like he's going to the NBA so if he didn't want to do it why would he waste his time?

Probably whatever he's studying. Just because he's tall doesn't mean he can't become a doctor, or accountant or anything he wants.

Probably couldn't be a cowboy either. Sits on the horse and his feet drag on the ground.

That dude is bigger than Yao easily. He must be 7'8 or so, with a huge wingspan.

I've met him before.
Our fathers have done some work together and his father put together my computer about 7 years ago.
About 5 years ago, my computer started having problems and we went to the guy's house so he could check it out.
We ring the doorbell and this monster opens the door bending about halfway over and still grazing the top of the door.
He was about 7'2 then

He is one of those guys who clearly has the growth hormone secreting pituitary adenoma that causes acromegaly. His appearance is textbook classic for it.
