Go GET Teague

I dunno, what's the stats on guard/wing players coming back from an ACL and being GREAT? Off the top of my head Rubio, Jabari Parker, both of whom haven't looked all that great so far after their injuries. This is something we have to consider also...


Teague also serves as a backup plan in case Exum doesn't pan out.

Off the top of my head, Baron Davis and Kyle Lowry both tore their ACLs before they were even drafted.

Here's the list...

Players that have been successful coming back that I can see are Crawford and Lowry, but they are pretty good shooters and don't seem to rely too much on their lateral movement to be successful ala Exum?

I remember Rubio was tearing up the league at one point before the injury.. he's been ok since but nothing spectacular though.


Derrick Rose certainly hasn't been the same...

They both do most of their damage off the bounce. Neither is explosive, but both depend a lot on their agility/ability to change direction. You might want to watch a highlight video or two.

OK, but would you agree that every players are different and for every 1 successful recovery there would be 1 less successful recovery too?


All I'm saying is Teague is a nice insurance policy and we can bring Exum along a bit more slowly if we need to.
 
Gallo's also averaging a career-high 19.3 points per game, with a better TS% than his career average. Noel hasn't noticeably lost much athletically either. Derrick Rose seems to be more the exception than the rule.

Not based on that list.

Depends how you determine a 'successful recovery'. I mean would you say Derrick Rose has a successful recovery? I don't think you can say he is as good/explosive/effective as he was before the injury.

You're forgetting Davis (who I already cited).

If we're talking about Exum, I would exclude Bigs and Shooters from the list of comparables...
