magicblue 315 Report post Posted May 31, 2013 recovered as back to before or as a different player? Al Harrington before the injury was pretty athletic... now he is one dimensional Jefferson is a skilled big man who doesn't rely on his jumping ability if Crawford had one... he might be the only one that came back well.... the point I was trying to make is... not a whole lot of ppl can come back from that... maybe 1 out of every 10... Noel isn't crafty at all, he needs his legs to defend and dunk... we should not take him even if he falls into our lap I think you may be confusing an ACL injury with micro-fracture surgery, which generally speaking, basketball players have not responded well too. I may be wrong, but I believe Blake Griffin had surgery to repair an ACL injury (fact check: meniscus tear...my bad). I'll double check that. Also Adrian Peterson returned to playing football approximately 8 mo's off an ACL surgery and look at how he performed. Unless there's something structurally wrong with Noel's knee (I guess we'll find out) there's no reason to believe he can't recover. I've heard it mentioned that Noel suffered a similar injury before in HS, but I seem to recall it was actually a fractured growth plate (whatever the hell that is) in his leg and not actually an ACL tear or partial tear. Again, this can be fact checked but I don't have time right now...lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shine88 80 Report post Posted May 31, 2013 We should pick up Darington Hobson and Ben Uzoh and skip the draft. Ha! I remember Hobson having quite a fanbase around here the year he enter the draft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ibn Battuta 127 Report post Posted May 31, 2013 Plenty of NBA players have torn their ACL's and recovered. Jamaal Crawford, Kyle Lowry (in college), Al Harrington, Al Jefferson etc. David West too, he's playing pretty good IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
