Just imagining someone Wemby’s height, having to look up at someone is downright scary

the scenes when he’s a senior starting for Grand Canyon University vs the best NCAA team in the nation featuring 11 former NBA player’s offspring and a random french dude

All ponies are 0-1 ft from ring

He must enjoy shopping at Big and VERY Tall
waskittenman
can he do anything tho
DionWaiteress
Someone in the college basketball subreddit said he’s literally the size of the Arbiter and it’s actually true lmfao they’re both 7’9” probably around 300 lbs
RTRSnk5
Bro already looks more filled out than a lot of 7-footers, too. Could be an interesting prospect.

I assumed here comes another French player – but no, he’s Québécois. If he ends up any good, historically short up-front Canada might be sorted for bigs in international competition.
nbaistheworst
Is there such a thing as too tall for basketball?
referee-superfan
And it looks like he can actually run up and down the floor which is the concern with people his size.
I wonder if he gets a thrill of dunking, or if it’s just a habit
The_Rhyne
7’9” with a proportionally normal body like that is insane. The average nba center is 6’11”, TEN inches shorter than him. If he can move even somewhat decently, he’s a lock as an nba player.

They need to treat this kid like a pitcher and baby his minutes. Would love to see him hit the league healthy.
TastyRainbows
you can see his opponents at 12 & 17 y/o just dejected guarding him
spiattalo
That’s 2.36m for those wondering.
aaaiipqqqqsss
The arbiter!!! Waiting for the day that a human can move normally at those heights. Would be a sight to see. He might be him

Per Google, his name is pronounced “ree oo” where the “oo” rhymes with “you”
NeoStoned
He looks so bored out there
iCE_P0W3R
bro what are they feeding these frenchies
Technuggs15
NBA players going to be 10 ft tall at this rate
cjvphd
I literally only want to see if he can shoot free throws
MrAppleSpoink
No joke my uncle coached him when he was around 12-14. Kid’s super awesome but MAN was it tough for him to be that big. They had to take breaks every hour or so on road trips to get him a chance to stretch. He also had to essentially learn basketball like a toddler, because things that may seem simple for us like running and catching the ball at the same time are exceptionally difficult when your body is growing at such an insane rate and your coordination is all out of whack. Once his growth slowed he started to really come into his own though, and he’s much more fluid now. Would love to see him succeed!

What the fuck is happening in Canada and France.
Did they release some super soldier formula into the water 20 years ago.

He’s going to have 5 foot and knee surgeries before he ever plays a college game.
Youareallbeingpsyopd
He makes the hoop look like it’s at 7 feet. So strange.
Seattle_Lucky
I don’t understand how Purdue missed out on him. Dude was built for that program.
_THC-3PO_
This height makes a joke of the game. How could he not be an above average player simply from just standing right outside the restricted zone catching the ball and dropping it in the hoop? It’s completely unguardable.
Devs really messed this one up, releasing this character without testing. Completely OP.
NotTheMamba
Wtf, he doesn’t move like he has gigantism. This might be a real prospect.
NashKetchum777
This is like when there was a full on middle aged man playing for a minor team in baseball
DefinitlyNotAPornAcc
This dude doesn’t even need to learn how to dribble, if he had a half decent spot up shot he’d literally be unstoppable.
DeadPhishFuneral
Man, out of all the super tall people I’ve seen he actually looks like he’s filled in his height. Curious how this is going to play out!
IM_AM_THE_MEME
The thing is that he is 18 is what got me.

What in tarnation
jwaltern
is basketball even fun for him
Senorspeed
He looks like he’s playing on a nerf hoop

And he probably speaks French on top of it all…

If his head pokes through the basket cylinder, it’s still goal tending.

We going from a non big man era to the super big man era
SkyMayFall
has he ever taken a shot further than 1 foot from the basket?

I wish I could be 7’9 and just walk and dunk
Reminds me of a NBA2K custom player hack
Shout out Desus and Mero: https://youtu.be/ukLPhius-5o?si=Zl-Sc8VjHBrIVVBJ
He has to eat so much in a day.
