This 16 year old kid is really 7 foot 5 1/2 Inches tall and he's from Canada. Will he end up in the NBA? Who knows, we have this conversation on how anybody over 7ft tall is sought out for in the NBA but is it just because of height? I also agree that there must be some talent and just not height to make it to the NBA but I'm pretty sure this Olivier Rioux is already being scouted by top schools in the world.
Here’s a guy to watch! That’s Olivier Rioux. He’s 16 and holds the @GWR for tallest teen! Ollie is 7’5 and a 1/2! He’s a basketball player at @IMGAcademy. He’s got two great coaches. Including former pro-player Daniel Santiago and Jeremy Schiller. @fox13news pic.twitter.com/mFOkxkNcmP
