bmags Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I know no one is gonna shed a tear for me but game no. 3 of no Porter Jr. No more clear information than a week ago. When you only get 30 or so games with him ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenksismyhero Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) Ouch, sounds like Porter Jr is out for the season with a screwed up back. edit: according to random Twitter person. I thought it was better sourced, but I guess not. Edited November 21, 2017 by JenksIsMyHero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was better sourced, but I guess not. If true, it's terrible. 2 herniated discs is no joke. Really hope he can make a comeback, that's a lot of potential lost and I'm sure would be devastating for him. Never like to see a young man go through something like that.

bmags Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 When a Gabe DeArmond, Matter etc say that I"ll believe it. But secretly I've thought it was a season ender since Utah. Too much secrecy, too clear they had no idea what it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 Back surgery/problems is definitely something that could cost the guy first round status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but if he works out and people say he looks okay, you go. If not, poor kid. Basketball has those handful of cases where star loses their career to injury. But largely I like the sport because it's not debilitated by star injuries each year. Can't imagine the pain of losing it all right as it's about to begin.

bmags Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Also mizzou played so bad the last two games. I don't know if they are a tourney team without porter, probably not. But makes sense they may have had something else on their minds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine the pain of losing it all right as it's about to begin. Agree with this, really sucks for Porter but I'm guessing as long as he looks ok in workouts he is still a top 10 pick. Sure he might not go top 3 but someone will take a chance on that talent early like the 76ers did with Embiid a few years back. I'm sure he will still do quite well for himself in the draft next year, he just won't be competing with Bagley, Ayton and Doncic for #1 but I bet he still goes right after those guys.

He wouldn't even be in college if he were allowed to just go pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much risk for not enough gain. Honestly, if he is a lottery pick he has to go pro still. There is way too much risk to going back to Missouri coming off a serious back injury if he is still going to be picked high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
