    Stuff 7'5" High School Student

    http://www.syracuse.com/axeman/index...ed_states.html

    Tacko Fall
    He is 7'5" from Liberty Prep, Florida and wears a size 22 shoe. Overall, his stats aren't great, but he's 7'5"

    EDIT: I just heard a rumor that his 7 year old brother is already 5'9"

    Absolutely ridiculous. I can barely believe what I'm seeing here.





    Who names their kid Tacko?!?




    But in all seriousness, I wish him well, but he doesn't look all that coordinated. And to barely average a block a game at that size? Are teams forced to use the mercy rule? Only have him out there for a few minutes each quarter or something? Because if he's getting regular minutes, his stats aren't just unimpressive or not that great, they're flat out weak. Also, I worry about how his feet will hold up. The last guy, I think his name was Kenny George, he was 7'7" and never made it outta college before he had to get career ending surgery on his feet.

    The human body just isn't designed to be that big.

    How does a High School team with a 7'5" kid only go 11-15? Come on coach Monty.

    He's like the fat kid they make play football in high school. Dude doesn't look athletic at all, and at his size he should be blocking every single shot at the rim. lol

    That kid will never play in the NBA. There have been others around that size, but they just can't move. He is going to get dominated in college. A 6'9" athletic kid would handle him. I get why this wows people, but that kid will get destroyed. Crazy height though.

    What kills me the most is all the laughter in the background.

    If he could stay healthy and adapt to his body he would be an unstoppable scorer. But yeah, his cartilage and tendons would be done by his mid-late twenties

    Yeah see this kid would destroy the 7'5" kid. The athleticism is out of control these days. It was a big deal when I played that a few of us could even dunk.

    We should tank for this guy starting right now...

    That kid is going to have major health problems within the next 10 years. There is such a thing as being too tall.
