MENTIONS GEORGETOWN AT THE 2:10 MARK Pretty athletic for a 15 year old kid, but the defense being played by the other team is just awful. Maybe it was some low level AAU type tournament but the quality of play by the other guys on the court was not impressive. I see more effort in the Sunday morning over 50 games I play in!!!!

Well I was making reference to his dunking abilities as a ninth grader when I said damn.
When I was in the ninth grade, I was barely touching the rim but then again I wasn't a trained basketball player either. But still good that he can do that though and he does it with ease.
As far as his competition, y'all said the same thing about Mac. "Oh he ain't got no competition". "Oh it looks like he's playing against the boys and girls club teams". Like I said before, it doesn't matter the competition you play against. It only matters that you are good or, it only matters how good you are.
I told people, who were making these same remarks about Mac when Mac was in high school, he would do it on the collegiate level as well. You could use the "eye test" to measure Mac's abilities and see that he was going to be good in college.
This kid is only in the ninth grade. His ceiling is high and he is only going to get better and better if he keeps working at his game. He's already very athletic and can hit the long ball. I think we will be hearing from this kid in a couple of more years. His name might even be ringing bells just like Mac. But, I do have to admit, it is pretty funny how this one kid is over there sucking his thumb in the thumbnail picture. It does make it look like he's' playing against babies. LOL!

I actually went looking for his classification and it shows that he is a sophomore and not a ninth grader. I don't know if that is an error or if he really is in the tenth grade. If he is in the tenth grade, he would actually be a little bit behind in terms of his basketball skills. However, if he keeps working, he could obviously get better and hopefully catch up with the good kids his age.
The video of him playing against the other kids has to be when he was in the ninth grade right? They must be the JV team and he must obviously be playing on the JV, right? None of these kids look like seniors and juniors on a high school basketball team.

He looks to be 6"3 me. I clicked on that one link you provided and to my surprise they said his wing span is only 6’2 3/4″. Looks to me that he has long arms and his wing could be like 6'5-6'7.

Rather interesting information about the expectations in entitlements in the AAU world.
