7' 9" Olivier Rioux

[Big Frog II]

This guy will be playing for Florida this season. Originally from Canada, he's been at IMG this past year honing his skills. How on this earth do you defend someone this tall? Going to be interesting to watch this season.

Make him defend on the perimeter and wear him out. And hope his hands are cinder blocks.

 

[An-Cap Frog]

With a last name like that surely, he should go to LSU.

…or Austin College.

The crazy thing about him, if you haven’t seen him yet, is he actually has proportional size and movement for his body. He actually has some meat on him and moves like any normal 6’4” dude does. It’s crazy.

Will be interesting to see if because of that he doesn’t break down like a lot of the other big bigs.

 

[Zebra Frog]

A well-placed elbow would slow him down. But, that probably isn't legal.

 

[tcudoc]

He might need to have an echocardiogram to check his aorta and an ophthalmologist exam to check for lens dislocation.

I've looked for a story that includes his weight. Can't find one. That may be his weakness, can't take the heavy inside work.

Took me a minute, but I got there.

290-295 lbs on the sites I’ve seen.

 

[FrogCop19]

Yeah, he's big. And some of the videos I've seen show him making a shot, then running down the fast break in-bounds and blocking a layup at the other end. I'm sure it takes it out of him to do that too many times, but just the fact he can is impressive.

 

[An-Cap Frog]

Would be cooler if his last name was Montpellier-de-Medillan

Marfan?
