I'll say. What's that kid's vertical leap? My God, looks like he is playing on 8 foot baskets. Looks like the type of kid to go pro at 18.

Sorry, he's not an 8th grader. He's a freshman. At some points his head is almost hitting the rim on some of those blocks. He's only 6'1 
He's probably grow another 4-6 inches.

Yeah, he's a Freshman going into his Sophomore year. He's the number one prospect in his class.

How much he grows will mean more than anything else. Obviously crazy athleticism.
He'll get called all day long for the exaggerated cupping the dribble (even in the NBA)

He's NBA-ready. Those refs lets him get away with palming the ball about twelve times.

I predict that he will become a G A M E C O C K. At least for 1 year.

Maybe when he gets to the NBA. But players college level and below can't have a number that uses a 6, 7, 8 or 9.

There is a rule about this. From Wikipedia:
American basketball leagues at all levels traditionally use single and double digits between 0 and 5 (i.e. 0, 00, 1–5, 10–15, 20–25, 30–35, 40–45, and 50–55). The NCAA and most amateur competitions mandate that only these numbers be used. This eases non-verbal communication between referees, who use fingers to denote a player's number, and the official scorer. In college basketball, single-digit players' numbers are officially recorded as having a leading zero. Teams can have either a "0" or "00", but they cannot have both.
Basically, it eases the communication between the refs and the scorers; since you only have five fingers per hand, refs can only denote numbers one through five non-verbally. After a foul, if you watch the ref you'll notice that they show the scorers which player it was by showing their jersey number with their hands.
Edit:
This can be found here at the bottom of the grid. In the NCAA pdf on basketball rules, Rule 3, Article 5.b.2 the useable numbers are shown (this is on page 41 in the link):
The following numbers are legal: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 00, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, and 55. Team rosters can include 0 or 00, but not both.

He actually did a quick check to make sure the guy who got dunked on was ok. Not enough diva in him to become one of the greats.

You have no idea if this is true.Sorry, he's not an 8th grader. He's a freshman. At some points his head is almost hitting the rim on some of those blocks. He's only 6'1

This video is what Harold Miner looked like in high school. He played against my high school as a senior. He was ridiculous. 8 years later he was done in the NBA after an unremarkable career.

Ronnie Fields was a Chicago area version of this. Due to a lot of messed up stuff (school stupid, car accident, sex assault charge) he never even got to college.You have no idea if this is true.Sorry, he's not an 8th grader. He's a freshman.

My buddy has been on my case about us going to see him play this season. He thinks he's gonna be he next Lebron. So, ssometime in the next couple of months I'm gonna go watch this guy play. Would anyone else feel weird about going to a highschool basketball game even though you have no affiliation with that certain school?

I see you are in Lexington so you maybe able to answer this.
Is Hammond now recruiting basketball players? If not, his parents obviously have the money to pay for private school and that means his background is not like most.

The private schools around here tend to set aside a number of scholarships for inner-city kids who just so happen to be really good at sports. Funny how that works.
