Canadian 6th grader who dunks while standing flat-footed on the floor
06-14-2018, 10:00 AM
He plays at a 6th grade level (he was born 2/02/06) where they have lowered the baskets to 8-ft,
but the kid is 6-10 and doesn't look all that bad

​​​​Now Guinness World Record recognizes this guy as the world's tallest teenager.
15 year old Oliver Rioux is 7'5".
He plays basketball for IMG Academy.
 
I resurrected this old thread about the Canadian teen, Olivier Rioux, who was 7'5 at the age of 15. He eventually grew to become 7'9". He initially landed at Florida, and after a redshirt year, he played extremely limited minutes last season and only in blowouts.

He entered the transfer portal last March, and is now at UC-Irvine.

But here is the next big phenom from Canada. Jeremy Gohier is 15 years old, and is already 7'6", even taller than Rioux was at the same age. Plus, instead of a skinny, weak, uncoordinated prospect like Rioux was, Gohier is more strongly built and athletic for his young age. And as can be seen from the video below, he has a bit of a mean streak. :) Some have already begun calling the kid "the Wemby stopper".

Time will tell, but Wemby was definitely more skilled and competing against better competition at the same age.
