Fowler was told by his doctors that he will probably grow to 7'1".
Been told recently by my doctors that I might shrink to 5'1".
With a 40" vertical I could touch the net.

I've been told by my doctor that I might grow to 5'4".
But that's not vertically, it's horizontally.

What kind of game does this kid have so far? Good speed, footwork, hops?

At 7'1" you don't need a game. You become the game.

If he can't tie his shoes or run the court, he doesn't become the game.

I don't even see it there. Am I blind or did it disappear again?

For a young player he has great feel, hands and touch with the ball. It is really difficult to tell how much athleticism he has. But, you have to like and eighth grader who can finish with either hand.

I think if we want a 7' player, this is the age and height where we have to make our initial move and take a chance. That said, those UTube highlight clips don't reveal much except that a tall young player can put one foot in front of the other without tripping. It wouldn't surprise me if James Cripe's clips at that age looked the same. Or conversely, Chris Kaman's highlight reel might have looked that way too. We all know there is risk and no guaranteed reward in the recruiting game.

A Giant amongst midgets or Gulliver vs the lilliputions
I would look just as good playing against guys I was at least 6 inches taller than and I suck. I hope that his vertical jump of the.same 6 inches was xue.to.the fact that he didnt have to jump any higher.
