It isn’t baseball so with a shoulder injury he can do certain motions and movements, but not over head ones and not with any smoothness. The Sixers not hiding an injury would be the bigger surprise. He is super young, fix the problem and bring him back when he is completely healthy, it isn’t like we don’t already have plenty of other guys learning to play with each other. His shot looks literally painful and he did not shoot like that in college or SL. Love the passing vision and handle the kid has, better than I expected, but he isn’t shooting like a healthy player or going up hard with two hands for rebounds. I don’t care if it won’t get any worse physically by playing, he isn’t learning to play like himself and that is hurtful in its own way. Sit him to heal with rehab or do surgery if he needs it, don’t screw with the kid’s mind and future.
I agree with you, but more than a couple people here seem to think that this is an elaborate scheme to hide the embarrassment that he changed his form on his own. So elaborate that they have him shooting left handed layups, doing jump balls lefty, refusing to shoot 3 pointers in practice, shootaround, and all of training camp, and refusing to take any long balls in game situations.
Because the Sixers playing an injured guy is so unheard of, I guess.
Well those people are just wrong, and want anything to support their agenda. Its obvious he's hurt, I just wish we were smart enough to sit him for a few weeks, course we are talking about the Sixers so they will find something stupid to do.
