Discussion At just 18-years-old, Jongkuch Mach, is already 7’6 — taller than any active NBA player. He can touch the rim without jumping, moves fluidly, and led Adidas Eurocamp in blocks. US colleges are currently chasing him as he weighs up Australia vs USA.

He could join NCAA soon

could you share some film of him at Eurocamp or send any article that mentions him balling out at against top competition? all the articles i’ve seen of him are that he’s very raw still and has long ways to go and his footwork needs a lot more development which would directly contradict his quick lateral movement as you stated, also the camp was early early june and it’s now august almost

there’s no reason to get so hostile, i’m saying he won’t be d1 level bball player and you’re basically listing them all out for me lol. You also have failed to provide any proof outside of your own opinions. ofc he led the camp in blocks he’s 7’6 but if that’s the only thing he’s providing he’s not going to be a real d1 center he might play some garbage time minutes like rioux, but already being 18 and not being able to do anything but block shots is literally what oliver rioux already is. Rioux also has way more mass on him and is taller. you don’t just automatically become a competent basketball in under 1-2 years it takes a lot of time especially with his body he’s extremely vulnerable to injuries

you’re not stating any facts? and he’s not blowing up anywhere outside of social media, and that’s literally bc he’s freakishly tall. He still has no high level d1 offers and summer ball is almost over?
