    I love that the big man is so unselfish ... He will definitely in my opinion be a triple double threat every night in the NBA if his knee's hold up ... Right now he isn't wearing anything that Indicates knee trouble.... If I was him I would wear some kind of previnitive support to lesson the chance of a knee injury.... I like where his game is headed but I think he needs to get more aggressive under the basket and turn into a straight bully.... I love the fact that he dishes it off to his teammates quite a bit... Now if he could get the same love back from his teammates his numbers will go up... They need to reward the big man for getting down the court with the rest of them when he does ...

    1:57 buddy is pointing (at someone who is legitimately playing basketball, he is trying to block vision of the inbounds pass) as if they don't have a whole donut on the scoreboard, like... play the fucking game lmao

    I'm worried that he's gonna keep growing. If he does it doesn't bode well for his pro-basketball career

    Even if this kid stays healthy and was agile, it would not be competitive anymore with the current standards. If the average height reaches above 7 feet or so, then the basket rim height should be higher and the court longer and wider!

    I have to disagree about this video being about RIoux. It's almost about everybody else.

    He’s 7’7 but he looks proportional. He’s more muscular and taller than Victor Wembanyama.

    why wouldn’t they just wait for him to get in the paint and throw it to where only he can get it every possession?😂

    NBA will eat him up....at least as he is now. Now power behind any of his rebounds or baskets
