I was so shocked to see this video, this guy is a true beast lol.
He seems to be much more coordinated than Sun Ming Ming which
is good thing.

 
Yao Ming gonna have big problem with this UNCA kid.
Are we going to change the height of the basketball ring?
For him, no challenge at all.
 
Wow. I don't know much about talent scouting, but obviously this guy has a chance to make it somewhere. From what I can see in fuzzy YouTube videos, he's slow, unathletic, and doesn't have a whole lot of skills. But he's 7'8", has some muscle, and apparently has a good personality, which is enough to make it somewhere!

But you see the game versus UNC? he played very well bro.;)
 
Wow!!! But a same jump and same speed of Yao Ming. Partialy, he's stronger body. A trainer must more special training him like Yao. If he's same strength body of Shaq or Wilt, he can dominate in tournament.
 
Tyler Hansborough put Kenny on the map last night by crowning
him. :eek: :eek:

Ouch...
 
He seems very coordinated for a guy that tall and with such a strong built body. The bad thing is a dunk of his loses all it's beauty and meaning :p
 
Let's make him forget basketball. (kidding)

He's so big. Who could stop him if he learn much. He's even making hook shots. Its just a practice game. And he's young. Better watch out for him...
 
beat me to it :D

Anyways yeah that dunk was sick Tyler pulled on Kenny...even though it had to be a travel.

Im sure Kenny will be drafted, I only hope he amounts to more than what Bol, Bradley, Muresan and Lauderdale ever did.
 
This guy is really slow! It would only take a really quick player like Lebron to beat him to the basket. It's just another bean pole in the court. How is his stamina? I'll bet he can't last if he played the whole game. By the way he can't jump!!

he can't jump.. but i doesnt need to jump..:)
how old is this guy?
 
Kenny George, like Tyler Hansbrough, is a junior at his Carolina college. Let's look at his stats:

His points per game is rather mediocre with 12.8 per contest. If we look down the chart a little bit, however, we will come to the rebounds per game and blocks per game section. He averages an amazing 9.3 rebounds per game. Let's compare that with Roy Hibbert's 6 rpg. That's pretty impressive if I don't say so myself. Tyler Hansbrough has 9.9 rebounds per game. Even though Hansbrough may have 0.6 RPG more than George, it's still pretty impressive that he's up towards the top of that category with a bunch of future All-Americans. He makes up for it, however, in the blocks column. Once again, George averages an outstanding amount of blocks with 5.4 per game. How much does the great Hansbrough average you say? 0.3 bpg. What about big man Hibbert? 2.3 bpg. George has the blocks column covered with his 5.4 bpg having him ranked first in the nation with that statistic and one behind Mississippi State's Jarvis Varnado in total blocks with 65.

Now sure, UNC and Georgetown are better teams that are ranked in the Top-25. I, myself, would rather be on one of their teams than UNC- Asheville's team. UNC and Georgetown play better and are coached better, but don't leave UNC- Asheville out so quickly. At the moment, they are 11-3. They still have a great chance at making the NCAA tournament this year. If they don't get in this year, which would be very unlikely, they will, without a doubt, get in next year. Kenny George will only continue to get bigger, stronger, smarter, and better at this game. He may become an All-American next year and will definitely be a top pick in the NBA draft. Not only is he taller than Mr. Yao in Houston, but he is also bigger and stronger. He is a defensive powerhouse alone.The only thing he has to be cautious of is his fouls.

According to a recent article I've read, he has to have his puritary glands checked each month. On the negative side, George is slow getting up and down the floor, and has had a history of bothersome knee problems. The NBA is a very quick, fast paced game and Kenny simply can’t run very well and his moves down low are very methodical. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/533005/does_kenny_george_the_tallest_player.html

You make some very good points about George's statistics, Ram. Thanks for bringing that up. I'm not sure if Asheville will make it to the tournament this year or next, but with George, they certainly do have a better chance.

Yes, George is taller than Yao and he looks stronger, but, as you know, George is very slow. That will be the biggest factor to whether or not he gets on an NBA court.

Yes. Good point. That's the biggest problem for all centers, and an even bigger problem for George because of his lack of speed.

One question I have is why George was never recruited by another, bigger university. If he's so good, I'd think better universities would offer him better scholarships and the chance to play in a better program.

But the truth is this: there is room in professional basketball for a 7'8" player. :D
 
i agree with u guys this dude has definitely got a future in pro hoops tho i doubt he would ever make it into the nba

good question. i've been lingering about that. he's been logging in good numbers for unc asheville and if i remembered it correctly from what i read he is the first player to record triple double in the school's history. considering the stats that he have along with his knee injuries and being slow, he's really efficient and underrated.

did shawn bradley or any other 7'5 or higher that i don't know of who played u.s. ncaa that made it to the nba averaged the same as kenny during their college stint?

if he enters the nba draft what round do you think would he be drafted or will he be drafted?(though i think he would be, he's 7'8 for god's sake!)

and if he do make it, what team would most likely will draft him? or what team will he fit in best?
