OT: Elijah Fisher

[maternal85]

He was suppose to be next up. The next Wiggins. What happened ? He was just physically more advanced than his peers, but lost that advantage as he got older it seems

Interesting I do remember hearing his name all the time to not.

The video badly needed to be trimmed down and the script needed an editor. The amount of repetition was painful, the opening sequence said the same thing like 5 times.

He won MVP at the Biosteel All Canadian game before heading to College. I watched it live & he looked good. The guy has fallen off a cliff.

Leonard Miller was also in that game.

Wouldn't say that, he's still playing D1 and was his team's leading scorer albeit on a really bad team. He's actually playing for Dave Smart.

He was rated pretty high as a highschool prospect at one point. People were expecting big things.

Glad he has found a good home. Its better to be getting good reps on a bad team. Hopefully it works out for him over the long haul.

Story time.

During our 2019 championship run, I watched one of the games against Milwaukee with a few guys that coach for Basketball Canada's top youth teams.

During a timeout I brought up Elijah Fisher as Canada's next great player, and all three of them winced when I said his name.

They didn't share any details. And I'd literally just met them so I didn't pry. But obviously every single one of those guys had reservations about Fisher to say the least.

He was 6'5 at 12 years old. He always had a height and athletic advantage. By the end of high school his peers caught up with him. His hype wasn't really based on his "talent" imo

He entered HS with a lot of hype but that tailed off by the end of his HS career, tends to happen with kids that physically mature really early and eventually have their peers catch up. He ended up reclassifying a year early to go to college which was probably a mistake.

Still an NBA level athlete right now but his skills didn't really develop enough to match that. He's in the transfer portal once again, so looking like a 4th school in 4 years type deal for him.

He was never as good as he or his parents thought he was & therefore didn't develop the way he needed too. Since he was the biggest out of his counterparts, he didn't face any real competition in Canada and his advisors wanted him to stay in Canada. He should've went down to the state's for HS then he would've gotten a wake-up call. Leonard Miller grew to 6'8 so his path to stay in Canada worked out

Elijah Mahi is the Elijah you should look into, performed well this year at Santa Clara after a couple yrs post-secondary on the west coast
