He got Brunked on.

That's actually an amazing stat. Usually kids that have that kind of very rapid growth spurt are quite awkward and uncoordinated. Geo is the opposite. His body control on the court is almost like poetry in motion.

I really hope that he gets a shot at the pros, after next season, of course.

Would need to improve his shooting percentage and his ppg. Frankly, he'd have to get a lot more selfish and I don't see that happening.

I was also a 5’3 16 year old and am now a 5’6 adult. Where’s the trigger warning on this post?

Wow 5'3 at 16 is short... for basketball its quit the sport short. Now he's throwing down posterizing dunks

That would make hime a sophomore/junior in HS. Surprised he was on the team. Prob explains why he wasn’t recruited well. We got a leader though.

That tweet the OP embedded is not accurate. Geo himself said he was 5-foot-6 in 8th grade. I'll take his word for it.

Yeah didn’t believe this for a second.

I'm the opposite, I was 6'8" in 7th grade, played for my HS team, varsity starter, McD All-American. Now I'm 5'11" and I work in insurance

That's an amazing spurt.

I remember there was a player from NYC Rutgers recruited as a 5-10 soph in HS. When he arrived at RU he was 6-5. Maybe Mike Jones?

But then he got a hair cut.
