Following potential 2017 draftees...

Nearly positive there are no real correlations here. There are big men and perimeter players of all sizes and play styles on here.
 
I'm saying that of the players who have that physical profile, there appears to be a higher than average likelihood that they will have a serious knee injury. The evidence is annecdotal, but it looks as though as many as half or more of the NBA players with that body type experience a serious injury. I'm not looking at other players or body types.

So if you were going to draft a player of that body type, you might be increasing the likelihood that your player will experience a season-ending knee injury.

This is different from saying, "Of the players who tore their acl, what percentage were long, skinny perimeter players." It's asking, "Of the long skinny perimeter players, what percentage of them tore their acl or had a similar knee injury?"

That's completely false.
 
Can also add Tony Wroten to the tall-skinny-guard-knee-injury list.

Edit: Jamal Crawford too.

Not to go on about this...

Dennis Smith is too nasty, he could've changed the way March Madness plays out if he went to a more legit school.. He really rates very highly thru the classes for PG's in that 6-foot range, he's up there with Jay Williams.

31 and 9 Miami won tho. Yertsuven had 5 blocks.

Seeing plenty of volatility today with these prospects.. Great day of college ball already.

Caleb Swanigan seems to me like a player the Jazz would take a flier on in the 2nd. He still reminds me of Ike Diogu but he's way more consistent at this point and his 3pt shot might be his saving grace.

PJ Dozier and Yante Maten both with strong showings and look like top-40 types, I'd take Maten over Swanigan(Cameron Oliver over both).

Dennis Smith is crazy. So good. so gifted. so much fun to watch.
 
John Collins is ridiculous. throwback PF of the 80s and 90s. back to the basket and simply unstoppable. might be the best scorer in the country, but rebounds just as well. he catches on the low block and is so decisive with his moves, usually aggressive going toward the basket. under control, puts so much pressure on the defense. 75% FT shooter getting 10 FTAs per 40.
