I've watched this kid for a few years now and he has improved every year. I'm currently deployed so I missed this past season. I was looking for his jumper to improve. He already has a college build and a high Baskeball IQ. He tends to take nights off so I can understand why some are not sold on him. I'm just not one of them because he is still young.

Sure, I don't mean to bad mouth the kid. His jumper is still rough looking, and a college coach would probably invest substantial time to rebuild his technique.

Yes, his jump shot needs a lot of work. His upper body is well developed so I don't see it being much of a problem to bring that release point up.

The coolest thing of all would be for us not to poke fun at him. I would hate for his parents to read these posts if he came to TN.

Most Albinos probably feel self conscious enough about their pigmentation. We here on VN should make them feel comfortable and welcome. :eek:k:

I dont care what he looks like if he can score the basketball. I would imagine most TN fans would agree with me.

The dude can play. I want him on our team regardless if albino or not and I'm sure most of VN agrees.

I would love to have him as well. I've watched his video. But I'd also love us to be accepting of other's differences and not poke fun of diaibilities.

Disability? That's kinda a slap in the face to Fisher.

You think so? Do you feel it's okay to poke fun at him? My 12 year old granddaughter has Cerebal Palsy and is a talented singer. Her disability isn't a slap in her face. It's a realty that she deals with every day.

Being albino is a disability. It has to do with lack of pigment. There are several things that come along with it.

I would confidently bet that Fisher doesn't consider it a disability. To do so would degrade him and exploit his condition to be some kind of hinderance. Dude is a 4-star recruit with a bright future, far from disabled.

Not sure what your point is with your granddaughter. I'm just saying it's kind of insulting to tell someone they're disabled in a non-doctor-to-patient context. Especially when it's not really disabling them from anything.
