Quaintance likeky to miss rookie NBA season after he has another knee surgery
- Thread starter TarHeelInCharlotte
- Start date
I distinctly remember JQ had his own medical specialist guys who had the final say on JQ health
absolutely no one said this … no one!!! JQ didn’t participate in any of the combine workouts …
for me it’s curious to say the least that he went #20 to the Spurs … and assuming it was common knowledge amongst those who matter that he needed additional surgery … I wish him well, but the chances of him being more than a role player don’t seem good right now …
Everything UK wise with Quaintance was just awful. He’s injury prone. He has the knees of an 90 year old. His 5 months here are forgettable at best.
I'm going post a post I posted earlier on JQ because we really don't need two posts on him at this point.
------------
In an NBA full of elite athletes, a healthy JQ would be right at the top of the category. His physical tools and defensive instincts are (again if healthy) game changing at any level. Pope gambled and lost. I don't blame Pope for rolling the dice on him. We'll see what happens with the Spurs. If JQ never fully recovers it will be a shame not to see what he could have been.

Yep. I wonder if they'll apologize? 1 out of 10 might, maybe.
Didn't you call him a pos, and say he was healthy because you saw him walk at a game ?

A lot of people really do owe the kid an apology. But I bet we don’t see much of it —- there used to be a time when manliness was equated with humility and earnestness. We have now perverted the concept by red-pilling it into oblivion. Always double down when you’re wrong…I don’t see that as human flourishing.
In today's world if you apologize, you're weak. If you admit you were wrong, you're weak. But if you show your a.ss and are as rude and aggressive as humanly possible, you get attention and other perks I guess I'm unaware of.
Basically, no one here is going to apologize for pretending they hate a kid or for making up stories about him. They'll just log out and log back in in a day or two and hope everyone has forgotten how awful they sounded. Heck, a few folks have quoted me in recent weeks calling me everything they could get away with and then five minutes later they're in another thread acting perfectly normal and pleasant lol. Just the way of the world now. Social media gave people split personalities.

Once some have it stuck in their head they will never admit they could at least be wrong .
Some people still think Jarred Vanderbilt was faking an injury.
Did he tell the Spurs this before he was picked?
BTW, it says the surgery is for "discomfort."
Still not sure other than it hurting, he couldn't have played more games for us. A lot of athletes play through pain through the season. If it's risking reinjury then that is a different story.

Lol the people who qouted you just think you're a clown, it doesnt mean they have split personalities lol. The Paddock laughed at you every day, and this place hasn't been too far off either. You consistently chastise people for bringing up taboo and political topics, acting as some gatekeeper, yet you have no problem, time and time again, doing the same when it pleases you or works for your ideologies.
I also dont know what the supposed anti-JQ crowd needs to apologize for exactly? He gets drafted by the Spurs and then a day later its announced that he needs to miss the ENTIRE rookie season, AFTER we heard from UK analysts that he'd be fine. That doesnt strike anyone odd? A little, I dont know, familiar to what just happened? He gets guaranteed money for being a 1st round pick, BTW.. and I dont think many teams are taking a 1st round pick on a guy who is already missing his first year.
All we know is that this news didnt reach the public until AFTER he was drafted (hence this news dropping when it did). I think that's safe to say that's factual unless this news broke earlier and it wasnt picked up. But I posted in another thread, Pilgrim said he should be ready for the start of the season just a day or two ago. So something is off.
Did he tell the Spurs this news and they were fine to take him anyways? Did other teams know this?
JQ being drafted 20th means hes gonna get 9.5mil over 3 years with a 4th year team option that I think its worth like 4.5mil.
San Antonio can afford to gamble on another “phreak” athlete. His contract will be insured — & what a great matchup down Low with Wemby.
Did he skateboard in front of your Trailer House .?
” Get off my Lawn”
Am I tripping or did your name get longer
Still classify him with Sharpe he shouldn't have never been a player at UK!
Hindsight now, but I remember that weird gut feeling when I heard a 250lb kid was coming back after 7-8 months after ACL surgery.
In this case, the NIL money and the narrative that he could play by December cost him WAY more money in the long term. He probably shouldn't have played until Feb or March.
He his ACL surgery was March 19th

At this point, I'd kind of be shocked if he sticks in the NBA. He has very little in the way of a valued basketball skill set other than being big. But the NBA is full.of big dudes who have basketball skills. Not sure what the Spurs are thinking, but it's their money.
Unless you are a family member or friend neither do you. When they leave here, I wish them well but that's where it ends. Hating them is caustic,. But no need to engage in fake empathy for someone you don't personally know in an attempt to pull a moral superiority card.
I care about UK players (present and former) who care about UK. My guidance is for any injured athlete regardless of where they play. The reason they make money is because of the fans. Because of that, they should be open with the fans regarding injury issues. Not being open just pisses everybody off.
Rumor has it JQ slept with Threedognight’s gf
Hopefully, one day you will find some grace and humilty
Pope knew he had a serious surgery and offered him the money. So you would turn down millions of dollars that someone offers you? If you are mad about this blame Pope not the kid.
I won’t go as far to say I hate him, but I think his year here was total BS and his dad didn’t make it any better for anyone. I think he should have sat the whole year and came back to play this year. Instead of blowing smoke about how ahead of schedule he was only to sandbag all year. He ranks right above Porter, Shady Sharpe, and right below the Dragon to me in the lowest rated Cats to me of all time.
Must be nice to get rich off potential your whole life so far. Man, I wish I was born 6’10” with a frame and athletic ability like that.
I don’t think he’s injured, I think it’s a pain tolerance and comfort thing. This shows nothing other than the team probably wants their doctors to clean it up and see if he can be comfortable playing. We will never know if he could have played or not honestly. I still think he was soft and his dad sat him after getting exposed by Bama.
I think it would be fair to assume the Spurs had JQ medically examined and they feel comfortable that he has a strong prognosis after a revision surgery. The Spurs know what his issue is and are willing to give him recovery time to get things right. The kids is 18 years old so they must think this is a good gamble.
