He already holds the Guinness Book of World Records record for tallest teenager.

He now holds the record for tallest ever men’s college basketball player.

Sorry about the paywall—not my problem.

He needs to find a place where he can get some minutes. Unfortunately he's just not able to move very well which is understandable.

He's no Wemby thats for sure. Guy looks awkward just walking.

Yeah. i wonder if he still needs more time to grow into his body. That's a massive human being.

I will always say Michael Jordan is the best basketball player to ever play the game. I am going to say that Wemby is the most dominant force the game has ever seen. 7'5 with guard skills was unheard of until him.

Unfortunately, he may just not be much of a basketball player. I'll root for him though.
