OT - 6 foot-8 middle schooler next LeBron?
As per Yahoo,
This kid Horace Spencer III is a 6 foot 8 eigth grader who's speculated to become the next LeBron James. Imagine him in the maize and blue!

It's easy to be good in middle school when you have such a physical advantage over everyone you play. I would guess that he fizzles once he starts playing in more competitive leagues

I had a kid on my team who was 7'0 in 8th grade and his older brother was 7'1. When kids get that big that fast they are typically so uncoordinated they are almost unusable. I had to pretty much re-teach the boy how to run and jump. The fact this kid is so athletic at his age and size is amazing. Kids usually take a few years for their coordination to catch up with their body when they get so big so fast.

Yes, he will be a real beast when that 2017 season rolls around.

is around the 40 second mark in the second video...the kid bringing the ball up the court has a 69 jersey.
