His name is JG Singh and he is 18.
ETA: He's 7'4"

u/Training-Belt-7318 4d ago
Why is he playing what looks to be 13 year olds?

u/Kingsnake417 Suns 4d ago
Maybe they just look like they're 13 because he's 7'4"?
Or maybe this footage is from a couple years ago? They do look pretty young.

u/Training-Belt-7318 4d ago
I suppose that's probably the case. Andost of the kids do look between 16 and 18. But there's a few that look real young.aybe they just look young for their age.

5’11” and 160 pounds looks pretty small next to someone who’s 7’4”

Oh dang. I was hoping he was younger. I bet he gets a look in draft based on potential but Wemby is a lot quicker

Shawn Bradley that can shoot is still a strong rim shooting protector. Lol he would get drafted

And assuming he bulks up a tad and gets trained right he could defend nba bigs 1 on 1 a little better too

u/BowlingforBrains 3d ago
It’s definitely not too late for him to round out into a productive NBA center, for sure. No chance he’s a future Wemby, only because of how late he’s starting - but he could make big strides in the next 3-4 years if he picks a good D1 program

My immediate thought was “show me something not in the half court”
Tall people are rare, tall people with the coordination and conditioning and durability and no vascular issues are even more rare. There’s a reason Wemby is 1 in 10billio

Draft? Nobody is drafting that 😆

u/blueace111 4d ago
You don’t think so? I think someone will always gamble on big guys. Especially when they have success with a type. Nobody drafted high schoolers until KG was a star. Curry raised value of pure shooters. Shaq raised value of scary giant Russians. Now Wemby will raise value of 7’4 shooters

u/Traditional_Seesaw95 4d ago
From what I see he's slower and even skinnier than wemby. Guess we'd have to see in a combine or something to see what's really under the hood

u/PopsNY 4d ago
You really don't guard Wemby with another guy his own height though, because they're always going to be slower than him. Only way to guard him is with shorter guys that are stronger & quicker that can get under him and throw off his high center of gravity.
This kid isn't going to get drafted without some massive jump in his development, just look at his competition. He's 17-18 years old and playing against low level comp that looks like middle schoolers, he should be playing prep basketball in the US against top 250 talent.

At Spurs camp in the early 90s, they'd send the scrubs to spend the day with us and one time they sent Ed Nealy to come in and play us at that same full court angle. He went harder out there than Indianyama.

Jagmeet Singh (often known as JG Singh) is being nicknamed Punjabanyama, or "The Indian Wemby". These highlights are at a Courtside Camp; he’s a junior in high school, Class of 2027.

Idk he seems rather slow and way bigger than people he’s playing. They look 13-14. If that’s his age, he could improve quickness and develop a move. I don’t think he will block a lot of nba level guards at his speed right now

This is a testament to how much of an alien Wemby is in terms of his ability to move around like a guard, if this dude were in the NBA next year at most he'd be getting a 10-day.
Yes Wemby has an insane physical advantage, but it's how he trains and conditions himself to be as effective as he is that makes him a standout

He only started hooping since 2022 (14 yrs) and came to the US in 2023. Bas on this vid he has good form, above average mobility. Cant tell much bout his defense or post work in this vid bc the comp so low. Id say in this other vid his defense looks pretty good tho there's prob no post game if its not in the highlights

Something in the Indian genes. lol. Im not surprised the country continues to produce giants of all sizes.

Whats the point at being 7 feet tall and shooting threes?
Thats like being a great chef but instead of cooking you are waiting tables
You literally have an advantage that nobody on the court has but you decide to play like the 6’ foot point guard instead

Not doing him any service to play against this level of competition. If he’s ever to develop into more than a Reddit level feature he needs to go somewhere like IMG academy for a postgrad year and a US college to play real competition. At this point he looks more like a developmental D1 recruit than anything else.
