    At least. It's stupidly obvious 13 is a complete sham. My guess is 20.

    Nowadays when he tries to get a visa to the USA we'll find out, just like all of the Caribbean baseball players

    Even if he's 16-17... that still looks like a top tier prospect to me

    Since lebron, the best prospects to me (this is predraft, not what they ended up) have been 1. wemby, 2. embiid, 3. luka, 4. anthony davis, 5. flagg.

    Is he really 13/14? Forget the height why does he already look old and his body is already filled out? He can be 6'10 but I expect a 14 yr old to look scrawny like Wemby, Flagg or Chet

    Children playing against children.

    For a few more years at least.

    In some angles he looks a bit older, but in some he looks very young

    Like here for example, his facial features look very underdeveloped and that of a kid's

    Maybe he just has a baby face however if Wemby and Chet look scrawny at 14 no way this dude should look jacked at 14. Like Chet and Wemby have been basketball lifers Chet has bball parents and Wemby has been bball royalty in France since he was a kid. Theres no way Dabone could beat them in bulking up and still be taller than them at 13 yrs old.

    I can't wait to see the first super star 5 year old out there dunking on 25 year olds and making Wemby look like he belongs on the bench!

    It sucks that we'll likely never know the truth. Although, if Dabone continues growing for the next 5 years and reaches Wemby's height, that will be enough to convince me.
