That really isn’t fair at all.

Expect to hear the name Chol Marial more in the coming years.

Originally from South Sudan, Marial is now tearing up the middle school circuit in Orlando, Fla., as an eighth grader. Marial has a decided advantage in that he is already 7-foot-3 with a 7-foot-11 wingspan playing against opposition that is nearly two feet shorter than him.

As you would expect, Marial looks like a MyPLAYER with all his stats maxed out against the poor other middle schoolers.

There’s really nothing anybody can do when Marial decides he wants to dunk the basketball. At least the kid in the opening tipoff at the beginning of the video decides it isn’t worth the effort.

Obviously Marial is going to dominate against that level of competition due to his size. But he appears to have a promising skill set and looks to move fairly well for someone so huge. Expect John Calipari to be on the phone shortly.

Marial will now head off to play high school competition at traditional powerhouse West Oaks in Orlando, assuming he makes the varsity team right away. The only question is if Marial will have a growth spurt and become even taller somehow.
