Just because I hadn't heard- is this Melvin's little brother? He retweeted something about him.

I can't link snapchat here obviously but in addition to that impressive stat line below, THT threw down some insane dunks in this game last night. A windmill in transition and catching a lob over (and dunking on) a defender.
Zion is Miles Bridges Lite.
What I loved about Melvin was his attitude. Other than the double birds to the BYU fans
.You could see when things were not going his way, or he was getting mugged but not called, then he would get called for a ticky tack call. You could see his frustration build up. He would lay someone out on a hard foul or a screen and it was like his frustration was gone then.
I loved watching that, you knew at times he was going to try to kill someone.
There were some comments by reporters that he looked to be in great shape at the Chicago elite classic last weekend. I think since they were going out of their way to point that out it shows definite improvements THT has made to his body.
Pretty good for a 15-year-old (with all the confusion about his age, I'm guessing he's aging in reverse).
THT looks like he has a really long wingspan. I see him being a mismatch nightmare eventually.
Yeah, Nader is a natural comparison in that regard. I went to a few of Nader’s games in high school, and there are probably more similarities than not. THT has a more advanced guard game, but Nader was physically a little superior imo. I look forward to seeing what he becomes.
I think it has been noted before that his wingspan is over 7 feet. I agree it's definitely noticeable when you watch him play.
Simeon handled Morgan Park last night. For those that don't know, Morgan Park is the team that Illinois commit Ayo Dosunmo plays for. Obviously the recruiting stuff between him and THT is well documented so I won't go any farther with that. Anyways, THT had 17 points and 6 boards. Sounds like Drake commit Messiah Jones had a big night for Simeon... He finished with 23 points and 11 rebounds. Found some gifs of THT doing a little bit of everything below.
