If he’s actually 12, then he may be the greatest athletic prospect in basketball history.

He moves similar to Giannis.
Definitely an intriguing prospect. Very solid shooting form. Will keep an eye on him.

He looks like teen Giannis. If he’s twelve, it’s wild. But also, I know people pretend everyone is growing 3 inches every summer, but there are a lot of kids that are mega tall and just never grow very much if at all after. People were geeking over Emoni Bates height assuming he’d be 7’ tall too.
But I also just don’t really feel like this is a twelve year old lol.

For his sake, I hope he stops growing early. If he has gigantism and keeps growing beyond 7'5" or so, he's unlikely to stay healthy or maintain fluidity and agility.

Man, if the news got you thinking we are heading towards WW3, I think you need to step away from your tv for awhile, lol.

Sure we are heading WW3... It's 100% it will happen. It's just a matter of time and it might happen in our lifetime.

Conflict is inevitable, humans have fought and are currently fighting. It is like saying it’s going to rain. We don’t know when but it is going to rain.
With all that being said, are we heading towards WW3? Probably not. Could it happen some day? Probably. However, in a globalized world where we are interconnected, organizations like the UN exist, and nationalism is not as strong as it was back in those days the chances of a world war decreases.

If he's a legit 12 then we might be looking at the next LeBron type prospects, his length and athleticism is eerily reminiscent of Giannis.
At the same time i agree with you. I was on the Emoni Bates hype train. I literally thought he was the next KD. 12 years old is way too early to anoint anyone as anything.

6’0” Marcus LoVett??? He kicked the butt of middle schoolers. And then he realized he would get blocked by D2-D3 college defenders.

Even better than Wemby you say??? So we'll all overhype the **** out of him, talking about how he'll average 30/15/4 and win DPotY in his rookie season, only to forget about him like he was a cold we got over when he actually gets to the league and plays like an actual rookie?

He doesn't seem to have the "look" of someone with gigantism. Despite being 6'9" at a supposedly very young age, everything looks in proportion and normal to his frame.
While we seem to mostly agree it's unlikely he's 12 years old, I also do not see the reason why you'd lie about an age so young? I'd think you'd want him to be seriously considered as a draft prospect sooner than 6 years from now.

I was ready to be really skeptical but that kid really does look 12
It’s like when the little rascals put on a trench coat and got on each other shoulders so they could take out a loan
He’s got a child head
