Honestly though I feel bad for him. Looks like he's forced to do this. If he's having fun good for him but it's hard to see him going for the rebound or running back in transition

That was painful. My god, that kid needs to put on some weight.

The next video on YouTube was from a 7'3" 16 year old, Connor Vanover - much MUCH better looking game.

From watching that video, seems likely that Robert will make an excellent translator once he graduates college.

I hope he's a happy kid with good temperament.  He might enjoy this like any other HS kid who is playing for the fun of it.  Hopefully.  One can only speculate what life must be like to be so exceptionally noticeable and to have the physical challenges to deal with every day that seem apparent in  (outside of just the height).

Those were the "highlights"?  I wonder if he actually took a shot at some point.

Kids got an amazing neck.
Yup

I feel bad for him—being that tall and that skinny, and at such a young age, must present a lot of difficulties.

And I don't mean anything bad by this, but something looks wrong with him. He obviously needs to put on a good bit of weight, but also his neck looks too thick for him.

Yup

I agree. He'd be a prime target.

I really hope that poor kid doesn't read the comments on that YouTube video. People are just savage.

The internet age has brought out the worst in people, for sure.

Yeah, something else other than being really tall may be in play. Marfan, gigantism, etc. I wonder what his standing reach is; a lot of his height appears to be neck. Extra vertebrae?
