I'm sure most of you remember Manute Bol the tallest player in NBA history at 7'7 particularly the OFC members of the board. I was recently was recently reading up on his life and career and I came across an article about 1 of his sons. The article said that his son Bol Bol is a 14 year old freshman and is already 6'10 and it also said that doctors are predicting that he could end up being as tall as 7'4.
 
He's got some handles for a big guy and can shoot over top of kids a foot shorter than him

We'll see how he develops. I liked the idea of him wanting to be the next KD, and his highlights showcase that kind of game. However his genetics may keep him from being a real dynamic threat.

Right now he probably needs another 50 lbs just to reach the Henson weight class.
 
When I was reading about him it said that he's a really good defensive player like his dad was but he was trying to also become a really good offensive player which is something that his dad wasn't really known for. If he does end up growing to be as tall as doctors are predicting him to be and he develops into a good offensive player then he could end up being a pretty good all around player. I agree that he'll probably need to add some weight but I'm not sure if he'll be able to because of his genetics because at 7'7 his dad only weighed like 201 pounds so he might end up always being a really tall skinny guy.
 
Manure Bol shooting the three ball was my favorite thing ever!
 
Auto correct wasn't a fan of his shooting form, but I was!
