    He might have the longest wingspan out of any nba prospect in history. He's a 6'9" center that's ranked the #16 played in his class. I hope he turns into a beast.

    The 2 guys in recent years that have had wingspans close to him have had huge basketball success.

    Derrick Favors?

    ^ Hassan Whiteside? John Riek? Who are you talking about?

    Im hoping Indiana can land this kind. Goes to the same HS as current IU (will be SO) Victor Oladipo. But I think he lands elsewhere.

    One of the most overrated prospects ever.

    Riek struggles to even get on the court for Miss St.

    As a UConn fan, add Ater Majok to the overrated prospects as well. (Dude has a 7-7 wingspan but was a bust for the Huskies).

    I remember reading about this kid and it might have also been mentioned on here during the HS season. 2012 7-5 Center Sim Bhullar from Canada signed with Xavier...
    While Bhullar's hulking frame and ridiculous 8-foot-2 wingspan are certainly his most headline-grabbing attributes, he's certainly more than just a gimmick. He has terrific hands, deft passing ability and a knack for blocking shots, traits he shares with 7-foot-3 younger brother Tanveer.
    Not sure if that has ever been verified, but I am sure soon enough it would be.
