The basketball world does not see many 7-foot-4 prospects, and it sees even fewer who move the way Jagmeet Singh does. That is why the young Indian big man has started generating serious attention after a dominant performance at the recent Courtside Camp.
Singh, a Class of 2027 prospect from Punjab, India, was one of the biggest stories to emerge from the event. Standing at an incredible 7-foot-4, he immediately caught everyone’s attention. But what impressed scouts and fans was not simply his size. It was the combination of mobility, skill, and basketball instincts he displayed throughout the camp.

Several clips from the event quickly went viral across social media, showing Singh finishing around the basket, protecting the rim, handling the ball in transition, and even knocking down perimeter shots. In an era where basketball values versatility more than ever, those are the exact traits that make evaluators take notice.
Players with Singh’s physical profile are extremely rare. You cannot teach height, and at 7-foot-4 with an enormous standing reach, he already possesses tools that few players in the world have access to. The challenge for most players of that size is mobility. Singh appears to be ahead of the curve in that area.
Many fans have already started drawing comparisons to San Antonio Spurs superstar Victor Wembanyama. While those comparisons should be taken carefully, it is easy to understand why they exist. Both players stand 7-foot-4. Both show flashes of perimeter skills that traditionally were not associated with players of their size. And both have the ability to impact games defensively simply because of their length.
The teenager’s journey is also unique. Born in Tanda village in Punjab’s Hoshiarpur district, Singh only began playing organized basketball in 2022. He later trained at the Ludhiana Basketball Academy before moving to the United States to continue his development against stronger competition.
Today, he is based in the Chicago area and competes with grassroots programs such as AR Elite while attending camps and showcases in front of college recruiters and scouts. His stock has risen rapidly over the past year, and the Courtside Camp performance may be the biggest boost yet.
Singh has already represented India internationally as well. He played in the FIBA Under-16 Asia Championship in Doha, Qatar, gaining valuable experience against top young players from across the continent. That international background has helped prepare him for the increased competition he now faces in America.
At the moment, Singh remains unranked by major recruiting services such as ESPN, Rivals, and 247Sports. He does not yet hold a public college commitment, star ranking, or extensive list of Division I offers. However, that is expected to change quickly if he continues performing at this level throughout the summer evaluation period.
The biggest areas for development remain strength, conditioning, and overall refinement of his game. Like most young big men, Singh will need time to add muscle and improve his footwork against more physical competition. But the foundation is already there.
India has produced very few basketball prospects who have generated genuine international excitement. Jagmeet Singh might be changing that.
At 7-foot-4, with guard-like flashes, defensive upside, and years of development still ahead of him, he has become one of the most intriguing young prospects in the Class of 2027. The basketball world is beginning to take notice, and if his performance at Courtside Camp is any indication, this could be only the beginning of his rise.
