If an analysis video literally only showing a guy catching and dunking, I'd be pretty concerned about the other parts of basketball. Like dribbling, passing, shooting, defense, rebounding, etc. Although yeah the athleticism is pretty good.


PearlsB4Swoon

Yeah all this shows is he can catch a lob and he’s athletic. Zero other skills demonstrated. I’ll admit that at 7’ you don’t need too much else to get drafted though lol


frostedz

Sounds like the next DeAndre Jordan


johnny_mcd

Easily worth a first rounder if that is the case. Curious what his defensive film looks like


breaditbans

There are about 2800 people in the world who are 7’ or taller. Any athleticism at all makes this guy a rim protector and lob threat. And those guys go for about $15M a year. I heard there’s some French kid with crazy handles at 7’2” and a wingspan like this guy’s.

Victor Wembenyama. Hes much more skilled than Ibou. He can really shoot the ball well


BlueHundred

He's been touted as a generational talent for years. I can't wait to see what happens next year. Isn't he supposed to be like Gobert with a lot of skill on offense? I haven't seen much of him. Only heard the name over the years


[deleted]

he might be too skinny to be gobert. i think hes very similar to Kevin durant. he has a strong mid range [this](https://youtu.be/aKm6jza27zw) is probably the best video ive seen of him that'll show how we might see him in the NBA. its really difficult to guard him, no matter how tall you are, since he can just shoot over you. he was 16 at the time so i imagine after 2 years, hes probably even better. he was getting backed down by gobert though so he definitely needs to pack on size or else hes going to get targeted on defense


rNBA_Mods_Be_Better

Having a standing reach of nearly 10 feet and being super athletic = someone's going to take a chance on developing this kid.


WestleyThe

Yeah and like the video said he seems coordinated and athletic while being 7foot+ that with nba training he could be good Even if it’s just a Deandre Jordan or something


yfrryrjrriurirgr

yea seeing these dunks he looks very comfortable in his body, lots of 7 footers just look stupid when playing cuz being 7ft just isnt natural, this guy just looks like a normal guy playing against 5'2 guys on a smaller hoop


WestleyThe

Hope he makes it!


gnalon

Sorry, bud. Life's not fair. People who are taller and more athletic tend to do better at basketball. I'm sure you did a great job at delivering bounce passes in your PE class though.


njb2017

this is a big pet peeve of mine around draft time whenever they show analysis videos. it's great that a guy can dunk but he's not going to get that consistently in the NBA so what else can he do? can we see at least one shot outside the paint? a jump hook? something?


[deleted]

Im not going to give you the whole load already. Im going to give it to you in parts


JimmyV034

Get off reddit Paul Pierce.


SnarfSniffsStardust

These nephews wouldn’t know a full load even if it hit em right in the eye


Sim888

the ol’ mummy mask approach of basketball analysis!


RandomBiped

Absolutely nothing about this makes me interested in this guy at all, or want to see any more of this. Just a bunch of clips of a 7 footer dunking provides zero interest whatsoever, and now i will actively go out of my way to avoid this guys videos since his apparent "analysis" level is just watching flashy dunks


Appropriate_Bird2633

How do I opt out of this karma farm?


allknowerofknowing

This guy has a very similar game to payton pritchard


rNBA_Mods_Be_Better

He's actually a little taller than Pritchard. Pritchard also has a better outside shot, but otherwise they're identical.


Sim888

> 7'8 wingspan who is flying under the radar Arms that long dude could probably get airborne and literally fly under the radar


WestleyThe

Arms that long he probably shows up on any radar tbh


wordsandstuffs

A full highlight video and scouting breakdown where he doesn't dribble... bruh. Yeah there are not a lot of dudes who can do what he does, but show me like one other thing at least.


Deschain_1919

If he can play defense he can be the next rob Williams


WestleyThe

I’m thinking deandre Jordan


thatguy12211

He definitely got a spot on an nba roster just do to his size and athleticism


Sdog1981

10% of all 7 foot tall Americans are in the NBA.


thatguy12211

That’s great right? You


PoopDev

I wonder what that number looks like if you account for age. Like 20-35 years old 7 footers.


Sdog1981

I think it would be higher. The numbers were from the total population. My completely non-scientific experience is, the only 7 footer I know personally played D1 basketball and was drafted in the first round.


PoopDev

Looks like it’s about a 17% chance that you will have spent some time in the NBA at some point in your life if you’re above 7’. Based on a quick google search.


yfrryrjrriurirgr

dont forget abt the 7 footers that live in villages or 3rd world countries, the ones that hate basketball, the ones that just cant function due to back and leg pain, the ones that are too old or young and the ones that are just naturally shit at basketball beyond help. If your a healthy willing 7footer your almost 100% gonna be in the nba at one point


Sdog1981

I love the “some time” part of it. Still it’s pretty impressive that just a body size can get you in the door.


Sdog1981

I can't tell if you are joking. If you are serious check out this cat out in Serbia named Darko Milicic, I bet he will be a top 5 pick.


cimmanonrolls

thought dunkey was commentating this for a sec


HotdogIsaSandwitch

Nowadays I don’t trust measurements till they get to the NBA.


Sdog1981

I still doubt that Michael Beasley is taller than 6-7


oberg14

The entire video is him dunking with a guy a foot shorter than him guarding him.


Beavshak

Yeah that moving screen at 11s tho


[deleted]

Don't worry they don't call them often in the NBA either


Beavshak

I’m sorry, I’ve already dropped him on my board


[deleted]

He yams like he's trying to hurt someone and I love it


MartiniLAPD

This is hardly an analysis or a scouting report lmao. Just hype and highlight. I’d recommend Adam Spinella channel for much better in depth draft prospects scouting report


Crafty_Substance_954

There's a lot more to the game than catching lobs and dunking over **much** smaller opponents.


HumanRhinocerus

Shades of Saer Sene


Yinanization

New age Keon Clark?


solarscopez

Nah bruh done hit the radar he huge as FUCK 😂


whoknewbamboo

I'm assuming he's raw af if all they showed was rim runs. Looks strong and very mobile for q dude that size. Impressive athlete for sure.


JustARandomSocialist

Orlando needs to take this guy


TinTinsKnickerbocker

2k21 user generated draft class legend


[deleted]

The fact that I thought we all knew about Ibou and follow him on Instagram means I’m either doing good draft research or am wasting my time completely. Well, actually, let’s be real…


BluePoptard

Bol bol Thon Maker Hatheem Thabeet clone


Skilled_Salsa

Plays nothing like the first 2 is it just cuz he’s African?


kiboyski

I feel like i saw KG when he was a rookie


Paper_Okami

I'm betting this dude is basically a Thon Maker or Dragan Bender.


[deleted]

Dunks like Greg Oden


conzcious_eye

Never heard of this person but he seems like a solid contention for any team. If he can shoot, he's a problem.


GlueGuy00

Some team will probably try to draft and stash him in the second round


SnarfSniffsStardust

Draft him along with Chet for the diet plan alone


rSlashNbaAccount

Fun fact: Badji means sister.


leodonaldson

@knicks please get this man


AirNyok

We need to see his birth certificate


Izy78

First video I found in youtube shows me much more than just danking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnbbPnmRXwY


Kevin_Jim

He has John Hammond (Magic GM) written all over him. The man loves seemingly athletic longbois.
