Say hello to Robert Bobroczky. He's 13 years old, lives in Romania, and, from the looks of things, is not very good at basketball. But Robert is currently attracting the attention of tons of NBA scouts and appears to have a bright future in the sport.

Why, you ask? Well, even though he's not the most skilled player in the world—or in the video above— he's currently 7-foot-4. Yes, 7-foot-4. And at the moment, that makes him taller than anyone playing in the NBA. So despite his noticeable lack of skills, he's on everyone's radar in Europe and is currently practicing regularly with Stella Azzurra Roma, which is the team Andrea Bargnani played for before he left Europe for the NBA.

There's obviously no telling where this kid is going to end up—or how tall he's going to be by the time he's 17 or 18. But as the saying goes, you can't teach height. So this kid is going to make some noise in the basketball world in a few years, provided he doesn't snap in half between now and then.
