And does John Wall have the same thing?

no, 2 distinctly different injuries.

Maybe there were warning signs, but most people say its just a freak accident. Walls injury is very different

I know he is not torn ACL but I was thinking his early injury might be the same and sort of a "Prerequisite" type to a worse one.

Wizards were making some good moves to get more mature and experienced which should help Wall perhaps develop better.

Funny, I think Grunfeld survives because the youth movement was not his idea alone. Ownership is always involved in direction of team. Its how McHale survived all those years in Minny. Funny, Khan in Minny is starting to look pretty good with his team. This despite Flynn and Beasley not really fulfilling their draft status.
