and not signs that this dude is about to crumble again. That would suck. If he can't play this full season, or at least the large majority of it, basketball may not be his thing.

...not playing at this level in 3 years. Hence why I was really hoping he'd play USA basketball. I'd rather he go through and deal with this now vs. November.

Not with two surgically repaired knees. He can be good, but this is going to be the trend with him for the rest of his career till he can barely get around the court a la Brandon Roy. It's just the way it is. People are too optimistic on something the majority of doctors would be doubtful of. Cue Bruce https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOeKidp-iWo

11. "and he should probably stop trying to be" In response to Reply # 9
he's planting and juking hard this way and that way like the injuries never happened. i really think he should work on some old man moves and burst in spots, but i don't think there's any chill to his game
14. "yeah he's trying to play like he's that same 22 year old" In response to Reply # 11
The only reason he's able to somewhat move like before is because he's only 25. But if he keeps it up, he won't hold up long at all. He better develop something else quick.
