Wish I was 7'4" when I was 15...

[UHsurfer12]

My friend showed me this video of 2 brothers, one a 7'4" sophomore, the other a 7'3" freshman... quite the genetics!

Not so sure I'd want to be 7'4 at fifteen... Probably going to run into some health problems...


But yeah, that's pretty crazy.

Wish I was just 6 '4.. Dang mom and her shortness

The older brother is an AAU teammate of 2012 OU commit Richy Peters (13 in the picture).

 

[Sawyer]

I'd love to be 6-11... but probably not any taller.

Here is an article on the 2.

I'm making a guess but I think they'll end up at Pitt. Although we could make the pitch that the last pair of brothers we had both made it to the NBA.

The only guy in the picture who appears to be 7'4"...

haha

There's no way either of those guys makes any kind of impact in high major college basketball.

I think it's #4.

You might have said the same about Yao Ming when he was 15.

I'll believe it when I see it. Yao Ming is the exception rather than the rule. People that are that tall are that tall because there is something wrong with their body. They are almost always plagued by health problems. I mean 7'4" at age 15? Is he going to end up 8'1"?? Unless he stops growing right now I just don't see any way he will be able to play sports (any sport) for any extended period of time.

And Yao has all sorts of health problems, his feet, ankles, and knees are going out on him fast.

Yao Ming is 7'5 or 7'6 which may be at the peak for a human giant to have any mobility. Neither of the brothers is or was 7'4 at age 15. One is 7'2 at 15 and the other is 7'4 at 17. I assume the younger Bhuller brother may reach 7'4 at 17 also. For some reason I'm picturing Ben Stein calling this guys name... "Bhuller!... Bhuller!... Bhuller!!! and then looking up... and up... and up as the kid walks in.

There were a few 7'3 or 7'4 guys who have had reasonable success in the NBA such as Mark Ogden, Ric Smits, Ralph Sampson, Ilgausgus, Sarbonis, Thabeet. The Bhullers have filled out bodies and are very raw but they've got two-three years of high school to get some coaching and some strength.
You can be sure Stern is hoping they make it the NBA (100 million more viewers if they do *Ca-ching*) so they'll be given every possible chance.
