The sad thing is, agents are probably already watching this kid, and he's what 10? I for one hope he uses that tremendous body he has for something other than hoops. Maybe become a super cop or something like that. A lot of good can come from a kid like that if he isn't corrupted by the agents, press, etc.

His form on his jumper is awful. And give how short he is for his age, that's not a good sign.

Seen this so often in football [real football, not American hand throw, take a breather every 20 seconds ... ball]. You see a "dynamite" prospect from like Asia, USA or something [actually they crop up all over the world] they get taken in by Man Utd, or Arsenal, or an Italian club or whatever, and you never see them again, or at some sub level league.
Really the last great "youth" projects I saw in football were taken on age like 16, rather than 10, you start to see them respective of their size vs players, they are developing so you start to see what sort of power they will have etc..
Its cool to see, but as I say, if I had a penny for every video of a football player I saw that age and that kind of "superlative" concept ... I'd have probably 100 pennies ?

Do we need another over-dribbling shoot-first PG?
In the video,
not once did he pass the ball.

He reminds me of me when I was his age, only i could dunk

. Thats sweet though, someone said that he might get corrupted by the media and i was worried about the same thing. Sometimes when you keep getting told that your the best ever, you have to be that or else ur world is crushed. Hopefully his dad really doesn't push him too much and the Magic sign him in about 8 years, we should be clear of some cap room by then

yeah, I don't usually see it in basketball but maybe that's cause they don't sign kids that young.
either way...the kids got a lot more game in his left nut than I do
