Though Dante's young enough that he can come back and be near 100%, my one fear is that this will set him back mentally from attacking the rim in the future knowing that one step cost him a year off his basketball life.

Well since it was a non contract injury then it shouldn't scare him from attacking. It could have happened simply dribbling the ball up the court or while guarding a player on defense.

According to what theory?

That is like saying that if I were in a car accident on my way to work this morning, and I say I wish I had gone a different route to avoid it, saying I would have had a car accident anyway. That makes no sense.

Fate bro, fate.

I'm thinking the same. Burks will need some serious coaching to grasp the position but he has played pg before and I think his court vision/passing is under-rated (and underutilized since that has not been what he has been asked to do very often).
I like the idea of having your best players on the court together as much as possible

It's not necessarily Burks playing PG it's the fact that Hayward, Burks and Hood have all displayed the ability to play with the ball in their hands and run the offense (Burks to a lesser degree). The real question is, who will defend the PG position? It's not like you're going to get a massive drop off from any of those 3 defending the PG. All are better or equal to what Burke can do defensively.
 
Whoever is recommending starting Burks at pg is high. If we start him, our bench scoring would be abysmal.

I don't think that's the right comparison to what he is saying, unless you say the accident was caused by your tire coming off due lose lugnuts, and the damage done was to axel, calipers, and rotors. Not from an accident with another car. So it could and would have happened on any road. Wouldn't that be a better comparison?

You've been very solid throughout this thread but this is quite a bit off and hyperbole. I think I know what you're saying. That his body type, bone structure, what have you, made him more predisposed to injury. However, this is pure speculation. He went 20 years without a major injury like this and like many of these injuries, it may just be a freak thing.

I was more going off the idea that it was a wear and tear injury that would have happened eventually with lots of playing/practicing.
 
I don't have time to wade through this thread. Can someone please update me on the facts of the case? What about the relevant speculations on the case? tia. rep.
