    Lately I’ve been seeing in a few places that he is actually 20 years old; his birth date being in 1991 rather than 1993. Anyone else been seeing this?

    The team USA site has him as 1993, plus while on wikipedia they have a tool bar that says "1991 births", they also have him listed as being born in 1993. Even so, I do not think it matters that much. He is still younger than John Henson and shows many more flashes of being advanced. If he turns out to be older than Andre Drummond or Harrison Barnes, I do not think it will make much difference. For now, it seems like he is indeed 18 instead of 20, though.

    biggest nonsense since Gasol was traded to Lakers ? It’s hard for me to imagine how 17 year old grows up 7 inches during the summer but 19-years-old to grow 7 inches… Hm

     I was just going to say that makes his growth spurt even more ridiculous but seniokas beat me to it.

    @mikeyvthedon Thanks man. I figured he was born in 93′ I just wasn’t sure because I was watching a highlight video of him and it had a link to different site and it said he was 20 which was a huge surprise to me given he had that massive growth spurt. You were right, this actually lead me to wiki his age too and exactly how you mentioned it says he’s 91′ but he’s 93′. I usually trust this site for everything basketball, I don’t know why I even considered him being older.

     

    On another note that UNC-UK game was pretty good, can’t wait to see UK’s team chemistry become better. You can bet bother these teams will be right in the heat of it all come March and April.

    Regardless of his age, we should come up with a better comparison for his profile. I have nothing good at the moment but we can improve upon Bosh/Donyell Marshall.
