any chance this kid makes it to campus? seems like a real talent, taking some money from a store isn't good, but he hasn't been convicted of anything and even if he is convicted/pleads to some crime, it's pretty minor. his history doesn't seems like something that would put any other students in danger (unless I'm missing something) so should still try to get him here and on the court because this team needs a big asap.
At this point, I do not want him on the team.
After the robbery charge, I was ready to give him a second chance. But now 2x is too many chances.
He had a hard upbringing, and even admitted in the Vice documentary that he stole as a young'un to survive. When he lived with his adopted family, I guess the need to steal to survive was absent. But seems that changed when he moved back with his mother.
I wonder if, and a big IF... , he hadnt gone back to meet with his mother through the Vice documentary that he would have stayed with his adopted family and kept clean. In the doc, everyone thought he had NBA potential and his aunt seemed to resent that everyone was saying that others and not that aunt was the one that raised him. Maybe that meeting was the catalyst in Zach moving back with his moms family and the current unfortunate events. Its still on him, but what if....
