Definitely agree that Keyonte needs to put on more quality weight. A 19 year old being skinny isn't a big deal to me, especially one that has been able to put on weight before.

This is where a good strength and conditioning coach is vital.

Just hang out with Ochai and do whatever he does.

GG you draft and stash as a lottery steal because that is exactly what he would have been in the 2024 draft.I wanted him at 28 or buy a 2nd round pick and stash him in the G league. Craziness you don’t get to do that too often.

He played heavier at Baylor took away some of his explosiveness

I'm pretty sure blown knees with surgeries are a lot worse than turned ankles but what do I know.

More than Thriller.

LOL.

“Blown knees.”

Okay. That’s now synonymous with any knee injury?

Multiple meniscus tears and procedures to scoop out the damaged tissue are the worst injuries you can believably have from playing basketball. That’s the issue that has taken Lonzo off the floor for two years and ended Brandon Roy’s career. From the perspective of people that have access to the best that sports medicine provides, they are worse injuries than full ligament ruptures.

Meniscus (the large cartilage pads on top of the tibia that femur sits atop) is terribly difficult to heal. The healing process is problematic enough and takes so much time that the VAST majority of the time, the intervention to remedy the issue is to just remove tissue which at that point cannot grow back (because it has very minimal blood supply).

Sensabaugh has had those procedures multiple times before 20 years old. We don’t need detailed medical records to be concerned that he might already be toast (notwithstanding the possibility of having his meniscus replaced which is basically a brand new procedure).

It's too bad the jazz medical staff doesn't understand any of that...

I might be Frankie Ferrari… you don’t know

If you're Frankie Ferrari then I'm Spencer Butterfield!

My hot take on Keyonte is that he needs to put weight back on. He's far too skinny

Maybe I’m nitpicking here, but I’ll add his shot needs more arc, seems flat.

He hasn’t displayed any in summer league. Lol

To be fair, he could be under orders to not do any of that stuff during summer league. The main goal of summer league is to get out of summer league in one piece. The Jazz know what he's got, he isn't out there to prove anything.

Yeah, he's clearly under weight at the moment. Maybe he shouldnt be 215, but he should probably be like in the upper 190's, not 185 (which is what I've seen him listed as)
