7-foot-9 Olivier Rioux, world’s tallest teenager, set to become tallest college basketball player ever



Let's just go ahead and send our scouts this way. Him dunking is like me dunking on the trash can hoop. Doesn't even have to reach up.

    Yeah no, he’s slow doesn’t have the fluidity of movement that guys this tall need to even get on the court in the NBA. It’s just another Tacko Fall. Unfortunately for guys this big they rarely can move or have the health to stay in the league. Yao Ming having tree trunk legs and having good touch made him such a good player but health is what took him out. He was still slow on D when having to guard smaller players. Wemby is the best case scenario for guys this big. He can move he can handle the ball and can recover on D. I don’t see anyone over 7’7” ever being capable of being a great or good player for longer than a couple seasons.
