That is going way overboard.

Is it? Being worried that a similar body type could end up going down the same path of injury.

KP has not played an entire season. He's had these little nagging injuries.

Some guys are just made of glass, their brittle and they break down (see Derek Rose)

Others play every game - see Robin Lopez.

Sometimes bigs recover and end up eventually having a healthy career- see Brook Lopez.

I'm offering up a tempered vision of what we might have on our hands.

It's not safe to assume anything. The landing was a freak injury like any other in the league. It had nothing to do with his size and is not any way similar to Sampson's issues. That's all i'm saying.
