Oh yeah, that's totally what always happens because it's not like teams tanked to get LeBron, it's not like the Celtics blatantly tanked to get both Tatum and Brown, it's not like tanking has paid off probably hundreds of times because half the stars in this league over the last two decades were drafted by teams that tanked to get the pick they ended up with.

Celtics didn’t tank for Tatum and Brown. Those were the picks they got from Brooklyn.

A year from now, we will be hearing how hard he has worked and how great his rehab has gone...and oh my, he has a dime sized hole in the cartiledge and will miss an entire 'nother season!

And yes, I am still bitter at KP for all the lies about Oden.

This isn't a knee, it wasn't even a separation. Shoulders are really weird and you can do some real damage just by running into someone the same way you have a thousand times before but just at the exact wrong angle. This really doesn't say anything about Shaedon's durability, more injuries like this in the future would be worrisome but this shit happens. It might be an 8 week recovery or a surgery and six months but I don't know of anyone in the league that has had a labrum tear without a shoulder separation and had chronic issues because of it.

Put down the Oden memories and calmly back away from them.
 
our history with lottery picks getting hurt is uncanny tho.

not just Oden and BRoy, but people forget that Aldridge was diagnosed with a fairly serious heart problem that cut his rookie year short. And Zach Collins repeatedly getting hurt of course. How about CJ breaking a bone in his foot in training camp of his rookie year, that too the same one he broke while in college?

just seems like we get hit with this random shit so often whenever we have someone we think is promising.

tough

You're right, they didn't blatantly tank for those guys my bad. I remembered people writing about how blatant they had tanked but that was the year they got Marcus Smart... I misremembered that one but the fact is tanking has paid off time and time again.

He will need surgery 100%. You can try to play through it and manage the pain, it won't get worse but labrums don't heal they're just cartilage.

that’s not even true. Melo’s healed on its own.

It's really fucking tough but this is far more like CJ's injury than any of the others because it has an extremely low, to the point of insignificant, rate of recurrence. So this is fucked up and I get why it stirs up memories of injuries past but for Shaedon it should just be a bump in the road and we still have no idea what kind of player he's going to be. Will he be the freak athlete with all of the moves in his bag that can't seem to put it together on the floor so he's just instant offense or does he have a head for the game to go with all of that other stuff? We don't know and now we'll have to wait and maybe we'll have to wait until next season because if he misses a significant portion of this early season, most likely only his teammates and coaching staff will be seeing his progress behind the scenes this year.

My frustration isn’t that he’s injured. It’s that the dude hasn’t played competitive real 5 on 5 basketball in a couple years. Vegas was the perfect opportunity to get the experience and feel of playing team ball.

He played 9 month ago for laughing out loud. He did need to get his feet wet tho

Oh high school ball, right right. He’ll realize as soon as he plays the competition is night and day from a lot of the schlub’s he was playing against in high school.

He also played 5 on 5 in practice against his KY teammates. Not as good as playing in an actual game but still a far cry from high school.
 
Here’s the thing, we aren’t that many years removed from the 1 year restriction being a thing. Many Pros have lobbied against it since it was put into place. Probably because the Vets outside of that bubble are similar to the newer players who agree that it shouldn’t exist. It’s definitely a regulation which benefits owners/teams more so than it does players.

The 1 year requirement is a favor to NCAAB more than anything, but it makes sense from a scouting standpoint for the NBA too.

Truth is, there are players who come out of HS ready for the development role which college players face.

Your KG’s and Kobe’s aren’t common. Would have been interesting to see them in college… But there are players out of HS ready to be at the professional level. Playing against grown assed men, working out with grown assed men, hopping to win a championship in the next few years.

Okay. Here we go. He wrote “overall” instead of “overcall” but y’all get the idea.

So is that saying that there might not even be a tear if they didn't use injection of contrast? That'd be encouraging if the medical staff is just being super cautious until they can get a proper MRI done back in Portland or something.

This injury does nothing to confirm your opinion. This injury just happened. But go ahead and act like you were right when all that happened was someone who you said wasn't going to be good got injured before they could prove you wrong.

I didn't say he wouldn't be good. Nice try, though. I said people were ignoring the unknowns and the risks, preferring to hope we had pulled a fast one on the rest of the league.

you really think they didn't do a thorough medical evaluation before drafting him? this injury is fairly acute. not sure how you could hide this in the predraft process.

The only video we've got of him is being basically unguarded. We knew next to nothing about how he could handle game speed and contact. What exactly could they have evaluated in that context?

And, do you really trust the Blazers current medical staff?
 
I figure at the very least teams get physicals of all players whom practice with them for the draft?

Hopefully this is some freak injury…

What a massive bummer though. Now we move our optimism from summer league to training camp/preseason.
 
Anyone have video of the injury or when it occurred during the game so that I can quickly check DVR?
