Okeke looks to be super efficient. Maybe he develops into a Kawhi type player.

for normal people. if you read up on athletes and basketball players in general, they say 8 months before even thinking about practicing ball. 6 months maybe just to walk without cast/support.

Pretty sure my post says 6-9 months. 8 months is before the season starts. So he misses another month or two for conditioning? He'll definitely have the option to play this season.

Based off Parker and KP he will be out for most of the season

Watch on YouTube

Also it was one guy saying he had him lower on his board because of the ACL injury, the rest of the guys said good things about him. But if you're seeing the pick from a half empty perspective, I guess it makes sense.

What I noticed from the video is when Hammond took a chance on Giannis. But I don't think Giannis was injured before he started his NBA career so Okeke and Giannis are 2 totally situations and 2 different players as well.

Also where are you guys getting he can’t score? He looks to me like he can make moves off the dribble.

Weltman already said he expects him to play this year.... sooooo.

He just interviewed with Orlando Media saying that his doctors are saying he is ready to project a comeback in November

I think people thinks he can score....but i'm thinking they don't think he can create.....which i also don't think he can do on this level

so who will be the best PF available with out second round pick

bigdogdylan5 · Post #831 » by **bigdogdylan5** » Fri Jun 21, 2019 2:15 am

Also I hate to use this because it’s going to come off as recency bull but he reminds me of Siakam. Especially his high efficiency from the post.

swarlesbarkley · Post #832 » by **swarlesbarkley** » Fri Jun 21, 2019 2:15 am

Seems like now is the ideal time to get back into the first round and take a flier on KPjr. Maybe WeHam are waiting to see if he falls to the 2nd round for salary reasons.

I don't get how Herro went in the lotto but Keldon is still available at 25. For all of the talk of how great a shooter Herro is, he shot 35% from 3 while Keldon shot 38%.

What’s the difference though? Yea he isn’t a guard like Kyrie or Lillard but the guy is great in the post reliable 3 point shooter. Can make moves off the dribble. That’s creating to me.

They were projecting Klay Thompson to be back by February, so that's right around the 9-month estimate that I stated.

maybe, but i seriously doubting any doctor is letting him up and shooting 2 months after surgery.

Portland drafting straight out of Orlando in back to back years. Simons and now Little.

We're a farm team.

People think the ACL injury is an Achilles. I'm assuming he'll be ready to start playing by November and we'll let him have a month or two to condition and make sure he's right.
