I first heard about this guy last night. I you tubed him a few minute ago, and it just looks unnatural seeing him with the other ball players. Check out these youtube vids and you will see what I mean. He's listed at 7'7" but others claim he's 7'8" and even 7'9" with shoes!

i saw this guy play against UNC, and he is a beast!...i think he leads the NCAA in blocks per game.

i'm not a big UNC fan or Hansbrough fan, but him posterizing George was the most awesome play i've seen in a long time!
...Tyler was on a mission to get him b/c George blocked a couple of his shots earlier

Watching him dunk is hilarious, he doesn't even jump!...and on sportscenter they said that it takes him almost 10 seconds to get down the court

 

He shouldn't be playing basketball, it's pointless. Skill wise, he's got none comparing to other players. The only reason he is even on a team is just because of his size.

 

Well, as they say, you can't teach size, but there is a chance he can be taught basketball skills.

 

If he can gain some quickness, he'll be pretty good inside the box.

 

Hansbrough owning him was great

 

Not taking anything away from Hansborough...but did anybody see how badly he traveled?

As somebody said, size can't be taught...he'll have to learn and work on a bunch of things. But when it comes down to it, he'll eventually play in the NBA...whether he'll be good or not is the question.

 

big time travel... even the announcers called it.

 

it looked like something my girlfriend would do playing 1 on 1...she thinks there is no need to bounce the ball in basketball. haha

 

if he makes it to the NBA, he will get owned... the NBA is just too athletic, he looks like a big goof...

 

I agree.... in the NBA it doesn't matter how tall you are. It's how you use your body.

 

eh...Sean Bradley was 7'6 and had a pretty decent career. Some NBA team will take a shot at molding him...
