He had only missed 7 games this season. Few play all 82. I'd say he was on track for 70-72.
why hold him to the highest standard. Many players have had bad stretches.
Bascially its KP vs. Imaginary concept for the hater. don't get me wrong, this injury sucks. Only good thing is he might for the first time as an adult think about things other than basketball.
For haters, why focus on the negative or his flaws? Perhaps 5-6 players enter the league as no. 1 and fulfill the promise in a ten year cycle. After that its a bit of a crap shoot.
Townes was nearly flawless but think about others. Anthony davis has had problems. Fultz has yet to play and its not pre.tty. Simmons broke his damn foot. We can go on and on about top draftees.
Whats the deal, protect your emotions because your afraid to root for your guy? Never dated in High school cuz "she too tall", "She too Skinny", "she too fat", "She too quiet", "She too loud"......Sometimes you just go with what you got, and improve as time goes on. With KP, we all worried about this. Why? Kid possesses a freakish abilty for a 7'3 player.
Worth the risk. Glad we drafted him. Better than Cauley-Stein! Better than imaginary concept you can dream of. Those are not real.
Messiah's get tested. Ewing broke his leg. Jordan broke his foot. Shyt happens.
