Jérémy Gohier is not a teenager like the others. At just 13 years old, this Canadian stands 2.21 m tall and stood out during a training camp for North America’s top prospects. A future basketball UFO?
Only thirteen candles and he almost challenges Victor Wembanyama on the measuring rod… For several days, a very young basketball player has been panicking the web and the North American followers of the orange ball. A name: Jérémy Gohier. A height: 2.21 m, at only 13 years old.

The Canadian teenager stood out during a training camp for North America’s top prospects in Indianapolis a week ago. Video clips can actually be intriguing. Blond curls blowing in the wind, Jérémy Gohier strolled across the floors against opponents to whom he beat three, even four heads. A colossal size gap that allowed him to easily outclass the competition, stringing together dunks without forcing.
In the footsteps of Edey and Rioux?
And for good reason, with his size, the Montrealer would be on the podium of the tallest NBA players of the moment, just behind the French Victor Wembanyama (2.24 m) and tied with the pivot of the Boston Celtics, Kristaps Porzingis ( 2.21 m also). At his age, Wemby was only 2.03 m tall… That gives you an idea of the man’s height. Excessive measurements that place him in line with the last giants of Canadian basketball.
After the great hope Zach Edey (22 years old), selected in 9e position of the last draft by Memphis, and his 2.24 m (for 136 kg), or the giant Olivier Rioux (18 years old) who peaks at 2.36 m (he plays for the Florida Gators in the NCAA), Canada can count on a new UFO.
Already many desires
While he was still a schoolboy (7 th grade, the equivalent of 5e in France), Jérémy Gohier is already arousing much desire. The young basketball player has already won a scholarship which will allow him to satisfy his passion for basketball, by participating in tournaments across the country, while continuing his studies at the same time.

Already well-followed on social networks (10,000 subscribers on the Instagram platform), Jérémy Gohier has inevitably attracted the attention of the various Grand League franchises, who will follow his development closely. The journey is still long for the kid from Montreal, who has time to push, to develop physically… In any case, he will not be able to be drafted in the NBA until 2030.
