The Next Lebron James, Derrick Caracter Age 14, 6 foot 9, 270LBS

[human2k]

After LeBron, the 6-foot-9, 270-pound power forward is as well-known as any schoolboy in America right now -- and he doesn't turn 15 until May

Article

Apparently he lost some weight, in this older article, he was 286LBS.

Other Article

Still, forget about his age for a moment and try to visualize this: Caracter is tall enough to be here at 6-9, which is now considered a giant in an era of few big men. He's one of only 19 players out of the 203 at the Nike Camp who were 6-9 or taller. His 286-pound frame was also bigger than all but three other players in the camp

1) Not sure why anybody is comparing this kid to Lebron James. "The Next Lebron" really means "The next person to get extremely large amounts of hype and press coverage before he gets the opportunity to prove that he is, in fact, worthy of being compared to Michael Jordan."

2) This kid will likely be playing a different position that Lebron.

My goodness! he is twice the size i was at 14! heh still about twice the size i am now

hope the kid has some good people with him to keep him in check. thats the one thing wrong with Lebron. His mother and coach used him and will continue to do so.

I wonder what kinda diet this kid is on. 14 and 6'9, still four more years to fully grow.

Uhh no way is Derrick Caracter going to be Lebron James... for the following reasons:

1.) Does not have LJ's passing ability
2.) Couldn't hack it at St. Patricks or St. Anthony's private high school so hes going to public school.
3.) Plays forward/center not point forward/guard like LeBron James
4.) Is not mature or so the papers say...

Thats what I've read from the NJ Star-Ledger

Actually the next Lebron, if you choose to call high school phenoms "Lebron's" is OJ Mayo of Rose Hill.
