7'3 Chinese basketball teen dominating the American high school basketball scene.

For the overall second pick in the draft, Lonzo is disappointing. These players were drafted AFTER Ball: Jayson Tatum, De'aron Fox, Lauri Markkanen, Donovan Mitchell, OG Anunoby, Kyle Kuzma. They are all arguably better players than Ball.

So your argument that Ball is not better than a 2-star high school recruit is that are some players drafted after him in the NBA that are arguably better.

Ok.

Doesn't exactly look like a high school Bill Walton or Shaq O'Neal

Are you kidding? This kid is slow as molasses, no explosion, no quickness. I doubt he does anything in college. No way he’s a pro talent.

Wait, wait. I just watched the whole video. He’s not even good for HS

Why bring up a middling college prospect at this point? A player that tall has a chance to make the NBA, but right now we're talking a possibility of a high major that wants to take a risk on a project. Good luck to him, of course!

SDSU is like 50 years old. He's been wrong on every running thread I've been reading.

You mean the ridiculous Ball boys who will probably be the only pair brothers ever both picked in the top #3 picks of the NBA draft??

Yu might even not start in college as freshman ....

YAWN . . . Big bro Lonzo is not the perennial all-star he was guaranteed to be. His brother won't end up any better. Okay players, but not all-stars, and even regular starters.

BTW: Which college did LaMelo Ball start for as a freshman?

Nice. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Something like 17% of US citizens who are 7ft or taller wind up playing in the NBA, so the fact that Yu is 7’3” and playing basketball certainly gives him a reasonable chance at making it.

This does not seem remotely accurate

Except the NBA has moved away from low post bigs. If you can't put the ball on the floor and shoot from the outside you're not a lock for the NBA even if you're 7'5"

But Yu is young and fairly new to high level basketball. He reminds of those Purdue bigs of the last few years.

Weak legs. Can barely lift his body off the court

7 foot freaks of nature are lucky basketball is around, otherwise they wouldn't really have anything. And I guess most of them don't make it at basketball either.

It must be hard to live a normal life like that. Walk down the street and everyone stares. Hail a cab but you can't get in.

Bart,

You may or may not be poor. But you do seem thin skinned and reactive. You are coming off as that poster who is annoying, you know that guy. What you don't know is that guy is you.
