LaMelo Ball's back in school and now has a 7-foot-7 teammate

LaMelo Ball is back playing high school basketball, a headline that may interest some.

But all hoops fans surely will do a double take when they see one of his new teammates.

Meet 17-year-old Robert Bobroczkyi, a 7-foot-7 player from Romania.

7'7'' high school hooper, Robert Bobroczkyi has much greater aspirations than basketball.

Bobroczkyi was 6-foot-2 at age 8, suffers from scoliosis and is just trying to fit in.

And now the Ball circus is coming to town -- Spire Prep Academy in Ohio to be exact -- after LaMelo spent last season playing pro basketball for BC Vytautas in Lithuania.
