Dam'n, the kid is 14 years old and already 2,09 metres

Sounds like he's gonna be good, but height ain't everything, last year a play with a dude who turned 15 last year and he was 2.08 metres, but he really sucked, could barerly catch the ball and could't outrun a snail..

With that said, this dude must be good since Panathinaikos wants him..

From what I read in a Greek site the doctors project him to reach 2.20 m when he fully develops.

it will be interesting to see how he goes in the next couple of years. height isnt everything but if he has good skills and with his height at a young age then he could go far.

Especially if he is already in the eyes of the top recruiters and hence getting trained at the highest level. This'll really give him the chance to blossom. Best of luck to this guy, and I look forward to reading more about him/seeing him play.
