Tahirou Sani better than Lebron?

Tahirou Sani who's in France right now I heard was regarded by some the best Prospect in the world. You guys think he might be better than Lebron? Sani dominated in the French junior league averaging something like 50ppg and 30 rpg. I know he had a 100 point 50 reb game. He playing really good in France right now in a older league. He's outplayed every american high school player so far including Carmello Anthony and Luol Deng. He dunked over 7 people in a dunk contest. What do you guys think? If anybody knows more please post

I just saw T.Sani playing 19 th of April...fresh news !!!.
He plays with Gravelines (French League) Espoirs team (under 21). He is born in 1985, and plays with guy sometimes 3 or 4 years older.

Is he good/ Yes he is...he is such a presence in the court, his body is really mature.

Can he play in the NBA in some years: Yes if he goes on adding strenght to his body, adding some range to his J.

Will he play in Old State U.: strongly recruited by UMass and UCLA, but he should play in France, next year he has a chance to break in the pro line-up (at only 17) and may gain a lot of experience + some Euro-Cup exposure, meaning he could be playing for a power-house like Madrid or Bologna in two or three years

NBA: could become a Cliff Robinson in his prime Blazers year:scoring, rebounding, blocking shots

LeBron/Tahirou: never saw LeBron execpt on highlight clips...but with the progress of international scouting, I don't think that if tahirou was better he wouldn't have already told that he would declare next year for 2004 draft. Not the case for the moment.

If he was better than Lebron...scouts would be raving about him now. His name would be mentioned as #1 on all 2004 or later mocks.

Yep, it's crazy...but it's true !!!!!!

It did go so wild for Sani, that people from opposite teams said he was over 18 (he played in the U14 class - little basket) because he came from Malia and his ID papers were not so clean.

So they took him to the hospital for an X-ray of the wrist and docs said he was 15 at best.

BUT, he played versus local boys from the neighbourhood, and not versus some selection.
It was pure village ball, just imagine the impact of Shaq in a game between A-own and B-city...he was so dominant he never averaged under 35pts and 17 rebs

Not necesarilly because they hype machine didnt start for LeBron until after his junior year. And when your overseas no matter how much better the scouting is now, it still takes long for hype to get started, Darko is just recently receiving hype, and i have actually seen something on espn i think that said he may be as good as Dirk is right now. But in all likely hood Tahirou is not better then LeBron but their is always that chance.
