Pretty incredible story. It's amazing to see how much bigger he is than the kids he's playing against. I'd imagine if he develops a bit more we'll hear more about him in a few years.

Wow - get him in the paint and you got two every time. How on earth would you defend that?

Wasn't there a Mactar N'diaye and a Mamadou N'Diaye that played big time college basketball recently?
N'diaye must be a very common last name.

I was reading in ESPN The Magazine about another kid in India who is 7'5 and only 16 years old. A few years back he entered a basketball academy they have opened there. Basketball's continued expansion overseas is going to expose the NBA to new channels of talent.
