    Europe is exploding all over this forum.

    His highlight video does look legit though. Really nice shot.

    Interestingly, he was born in America, son of former University of Oregon basketball player, Flo Hartenstein ...

    Looks absolutely incredible.

    And got the Lebron 6-step-no-travel at 0:55.

    He's to the point is incredible developed for his age. His movements correspond with pro level strength. He's gotta work on the stretching or do what Lebron did at his age so it doesn't burn out with all that strength.

    Here in Germany we had ~200 Dirk successors in the past years, I think. Wonder why the NBA doesn't solely consist of our Dirk clones at this point.

    Interesting that he's given the freedom to take some of those shots. Are junior teams coached less rigidly than at the top levels in Europe? You'd think it'd be the opposite.

    Things I like about him:

    Lefty, aggressive rebounder/scorer/defender, good vision, quick defender.

    Things I don't like about him:

    The team that drafts him will be in the lottery. I do not plan on ever being in the lottery ever again.

    OP. That was not a good find, that was a great find. Repped.

    What is effective need not be pretty in the basketball world.

    Nice! First shot of the video, and already flopping.

    He is REALLY the next Dirk.

    Why at his age plays in such a bad team? He should have gone to a better championship or team by now (no offense to the german). Also too bad we didn't see him in the U19. A lot of the competition in this video is too young.
    However I really like what I see from this video but would like to see him against some better competition.

    He's barely 17 and needs a lot of work, that's why he only played in the German Youth league this far.
