How fast are 7 footers? (alien.top)

I just watched Victor Wembanyama outpace Andrew Wiggins on a fast break, but he looked hilariously slow while moving. I get it’s because he has long legs so his strides seem slow, but I can’t imagine his 100m time being fast at all.

The best sprinters are about 5'11" to 6'2" or 6'3" tops. Bolt was an anomaly at 6'5". Wiggins has olympic level athleticism so Wembanyama should look like molasses compared to him
