What are you talking about?
His last two injury prone seasons strengthens my point, not yours. Him not playing much in his first few seasons strengthens my point, not yours. His body is breaking down. When he was playing a few mins in a handful of games, he was fine. But now that he's playing big mins? All of those attacks to the rim are taking a toll. Whereas before hed bounce back from them now they're resulting in injuries.
Listen, I'd love to see Burks play 10 more years. But at this point I don't think we can nor should rely on him to play more than half the season.
No you are wrong. He broke his leg. One time. That's the only injury that took him out of a game. It's not a reoccurring injury.
This isn't derrick rose, greg oden, or brandon roy where they keep re-injuring themselves.
He could end up like that in the future if he keeps getting injuries but so far he got hurt one time that forced him to leave a game and miss significant time.
His shoulder didn't force him to miss time. He could have kept playing but management, his agent, and himself decided to get surgery because they thought it might need surgery eventually and they decided to get it out of the way. His shoulder has been fine ever since.
Again, 2 un-related injuries (One of them not even really an injury) in 7 years does not = injury prone.
And again, he has not played very many minutes in his nba career, therefore he doesn't have a lot of mileage on his body. And he is young.
I don't think you understand what mileage on an nba body means. See a guy like lebron that has been in the league for many years, always has played tons of minutes, has played in tons of playoff games, and played many games for the national team has lots of mileage.
A guy like burks who has not been in the league very long, sat on the bench during a lot of his young career, and doesn't ever play in the playoffs or for any international competition has low mileage.
I hope that helps you understand.
