What about this guy? He is 17, 2 years ago had some monster 40-20-10 games in a tournament in Germany, but he was extremely lean back then. He reportedly stands at 7'2 now and his frame does not look that bad (probably around 215-220 lbs), nor does his game.. I know that there are guys that know their scouting better than me in here, so I'd like to listen to some thoughts or opinions, I think he is definitely top-10 material for a big man if he decides to go to college.

I like what I saw. If he can

I like what I saw. If he can consistently hit those mid-range jump shots, paired with the skyhook, he could be a great big man. He just needs to get more muscle to bang down low. But yeah, he looked good.

Is he actually 17 though? Or

Is he actually 17 though? Or is it like with 90% of other Chinese players where they're "17" and actually years older? I remember when Yi Jianlian came out there where heaps of questions about his age and being older then what he said.

I saw him in that tournament,

I saw him in that tournament, which was in Turkey btw not Germany, and he was insanely good for a player his size and age. He blocked every single shot in the paint and made every single jumpshot and freethrow, but as you said was thin as &$#%#&@!. Haven't seen him since so don't know how he has progressed.
The thing is in a tournament couple months back he was still the same size as 2 years ago. So there is the question mark about his age, since it's not uncommon for chinese players to have faked age.
