The 19-year-old collected two points, three boards and three blocks in 12 minutes on Saturday in the World Select team's 103-100 victory over team USA at the Nike Hoop Summit. 
 
Zhou is nearly 2.2 meters tall and his wingspan is an amazing 2.30 meters wide, even better than that of former Houston Rockets center Yao Ming. 
 
The Draft Express website lists Zhou as a first round draft candidate next year.
