Look at #3...7'1" in 8th Grade? What are they feeding kids, nowadays? Although, I've heard he can't run the floor for two possessions...

Anybody know anything about these Atlanta kids?

Did anyone see the story on Derrick Caracter?

The NBA has subjected themselves to scouting a 14 year old player here. Derrick Caracter is the latest player that will have national news crews and NBA scouts following him around during his entire high school career. This is a lot of pressure to put on a 14 year old kid to play now.

The thing about this 14 year old kid that is impressing people is this:

6-9, 280 lbs

This kid is this big at 14 years of age. He's already being touted as a combination of Shaq and Chris Webber. The story says he has already developed a drop step, can step out and take the 15 foot jumper, and can hit an occasional three pointer. At 14 years of age and 6-9, the kid probably has another growth spurt in him. By the time this kid is a senior, he could be Shaq size very easily, and he may have Shaq's type of athleticism.

I will tell you one thing, this kid better watch his weight. He is humongous already. I seriously doubt that at 14 years old its mostly muscle either.......maybe its still baby fat. What a freak though
