Maybe, but after playing 31 games last season at 34 minutes per, and looking great at the combine, it sure looks like he's past those.
Here is a little about his injury history:
"One reason Blossomgame has been in college for four seasons is a rash of injuries. He first broke his leg in 2012 as a senior in high school. Another surgery in the summer of 2013, after taking a redshirt his freshman year at Clemson, got him well enough to start 30 games. However, during the NIT tournament he suffered another fracture and missed the last three games of Clemson's season. Two years of leg injuries, three fractures, and two surgeries."

But his upside sounds very appealing:
"During Friday's game (and the shooting drills) the Alpharetta native certainly did everything he could to prove that his stroke is far from broken and could turn into a weapon in time. Blossomgame knocked down all three of his 3-point attempts, two of which were heavily contested. The ball came out of his hand smoothly with a slightly higher release point than we've seen in the past.
Blossomgame also did a solid job attacking in a straight line both in the half court and in transition. He's not much of a ball handler, and isn't comfortable pulling up or distributing on the move, but the shooting stroke and straight-line slashing was certainly encouraging for the 22-year-old redshirt junior.
Blossomgame has the tools to play some small-ball four and defend multiple positions. He checked three different positions on Friday with mixed results, but it's hard to find guys with his size, length, frame and bounce who can make an open shot. He's a plus-rebounder for his position and does some of the little things you like to see from a potential role player."

As of right now though, I think I have Bembry slightly ahead of Blossomgame.
