Your attempt at humor is sick
I wouldnt make a joke like this but it is going to be interesting if he ever gets his wingspan measured like many players do and how that is handled.
His wing span on one side of his body is poetically longer than most people with jokes on this message board. They can kick rocks, kid is a baller
both of those things may be true, but he cannot play high D1 basketball.... he just can't. He's an inspiring story, commendable, uplifting, i hope he makes a BUNCH of money from NIL or any other source.
But you cannot be an effective D1 player with one arm. it's just a fact.

The guy is an amazing story but if he can't really play high level D-1, it's simply exploitation.

I hope he gets a ton of NIL money...
As you said good story...Hopefully he can cash in.
It's a long shot that he will be a successful player in D1, but not entirely impossible. I'm sure no one thought Muggsy Bogues could ever make the NBA when he was in high school, let alone a starting point guard for the league. He's only about 5'3" tall and 136 lbs. soaking wet.

True...
But being short is less of a disadvantage than having one arm.

In the context of the NBA, short is an understatement when someone a foot taller than him is still considered short, but I know what you mean. Its certainly a long shot and not likely.

He we struggle to catch, rebound, jump stop, pull up off the dribble, etc.

All will be a challenge for the young man, and I've never stated it would be anything but a long shot. I'm sure he's used to being told he can't do something and facing long odds. This isn't new to him.
Thus far he's demonstrated that he can handle himself on the court, but there will certainly be a steep ramp up in competition. Time will tell.
It will be different than the usual worries we always have about our team. I like that.
So many new questions pop to mind. How will he perform at the next level? How will the players adjust their games to his weakness? Will he inspire others with his work ethic? How will the fans keep from going more nutz? lol. That last one is going to be killer.
Whenever I see the name Hansel...I think of the movie Zoolander.
There was a guy with one hand (but did have part of an arm that ended a little below the elbow), that played for IP-Fort Wayne a few years back. He was a scrappy role player off the bench and was surprisingly good. I would imagine this guy could have a pretty good career at a low-major and wish him the best.

I had no idea Tyler could do all those different dunks , if we ever get up by 27 with a couple of minutes to go I'd love to see one in a game . It'd probably make espn's top 10 .
