7-2, 260 pound 15yo is the 'small' brother

Interesting read herehere about a pair of teenage Canadian brothers of Indian descent who have got US college scouts intrigued:

1) 17yo who's 7-4 and 285 pounds and getting Sabonis comparisons
2) 15yo who's 'only' 7-2 and 260 pounds

Dad is 6-4 and Mum 5-10.

It got me thinking again about what it would be like to be 7 foot plus: for basketball it's obviously useful, but for just about every other aspect of every day life (car rides, walking in out and out of doorways, buying clothes, etc etc) it must be bloody annoying.

And to be age 15 and7-2? No thanks.

USAallday Canada do have a great future team i think could possibly win spain Fiba world champs 2014. Nash is the Past, Andrew Wiggins is the future.

Cory Joseph, Tristian Thompson, Myck Kabongo, Emerson Murray,Kevin Pangos, Andy Rautins,Mangisto Arop,Duane Notice,Kris Joseph, Olu Ashaolu, Bol Kong,Kelly Olynyk,Andrew Wiggins(Lebron comparison),Andrew Nicholson,Khem Birch, Rob Sacre and of course the boys who started this ling 7'4 Sim Bhullar and 7'2 Tanveer Bhullar. Looks like USA might be in a bit of trouble.

USA in trouble???? is that some kind of joke??? u absolutely cannot compare the competition level in canada to that in the USA because there is no comparison... it would be like an elite college team playing a high school team... if u read that article u will see that team canada lost to the US by nearly 40 points and i guarantee the USA pulled their horses out in the second half

Yer thats not the point im saying they have a bright future. Most of the scouting reports by coaches are predicting Canada will be the team to beat in the future because they now have a good basketball program. Things change mate.

Myck Kabongo (6'1 point guard) was good for the canadians in the under18 Americas Tournament averageing 19.8ppg 7.8rpg 6.4apg including 32 points against USA and was guarded by Dr J's son Kyrie Irving who is playing for duke uni this year. Big Canadian Singh Bhullar played well in the USA game aswell with 14 pts(6-10 field goals) 4 rebs (all offensive rebs) and 3 blocks in 17 mins. But the real talent for the Future of USA is Austin Rivers. Rivers scored 35pts against the Canadians in 22 mins. He shot 60% for the tournament (21-35 in 5 games!) from 3 point land.
