7'9" wingspan on 6'8" 16 year old kid

BeeJay Anya.
Altho he is not guaranteed NBA success.
Here are two other previous huge wingspanners.  John Riek is kinda Manute Bol-ish, currently at Mississippi State but does not see much action.
Other guy Saer Sene sniffed some NBA action for bits of three seasons but never stuck, now in Euro.

In fact, according to that aforementioned database, only two players have ever been within an inch of Anya's prodigious spread: 2008 prospect John Riek, measuring at 7-feet-8.75 and 2006 draftee Saer Sene, who is listed at 7-feet-8.5.
