    Very long and tall. Could have used him to counter Rudy Gobert the other night.

    Interesting tidbit....

    With the departure of Rony Seikaly post Shaq era, Penny Hardaway called upon his uncle, Ike Austin, to come and fulfill the role as an interim big man...

    What! That's crazy. It was reported like his career was done and he had no chance of making a comeback.

    It's interesting that he can play again, but I don't remember him ever being all that big of an NBA prospect.

    The 76ers need to sign him so they can have an all center starting 5. Embiid can run the point.

    I'm very suspicious of this medical clearance and wish this kid the best.

    The fact that he's blind in one eye makes his depth perception and peripheral vision compromised. This is much worse than being deaf on one ear. That's too much of a handicap for the high speed of the NBA game.

    "C'mon Doc, they are basically giving people money. Did you see what the Lakers paid Mozgov?"

    "Okay, I guess you can play. As long as you sign a contract to keep me as your primary physician."

    Joking aside I hope the best for the young man.

    wow, marfan is nothing to mess with for sure. I thought it was a connective tissue disorder, which greatly effected the heart and led to aneurysm in the major valves and organs in the heart, leading to like.. instant death.

    Im sure he wants his chance but dude... Its over. This is too much of a risk for an NBA team to take I am sure.
