Can this guy re-define what a BB Star is?

[DGS49]

This fellow is reportedly 7'4" or so, with arms that are disproportionately long(?). 8 foot wingspan.

And he can dribble, pass, and shoot.

Two questions for people more knowledgeable than me:

(1) Why would you allow a guy this big to shoot 3-pointers?

(2) Why can't he play low post? Who could cover him?

The real question with him will be durability. He will get smashed physically. Can he withstand the pounding?

Thats the question can some his size stay healthy. There are plenty of large men in sports who managed a long career .I hope the youngman has a family and manager wha looks out for his best intrest.

There are not "plenty" of tall men like this. He is one in a couple million, based on his height alone. Add his skill level, he is literally unique.

Yes, we know - it is your response to every sports thread.
Why do you even bother to look at them?
