JQ swelling
- Thread starter Jgrass34
- Start date
It’s actually pretty sad seeing so many fellow fans who are still buying into this ridiculous nonsense that the guy is still injured (if he ever was at all), but hey, to each their own!
It’s not my intelligence that’s being insulted! As far as I’m concerned, they can believe Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy are real as well! It’s actually pretty entertaining to be honest, now that I think about it.
He’ll take the 18th pick, and count his lucky stars all day everyday, because if he actually played, it would be more like the 58th pick, and everyone associated with the guy knows this!
You’ll see, if this guy ever makes on to a NBA court, which I give about a 20% chance of happening because he’s getting by on his looks alone so far!
Not really a good sign if he has swelling especially after a light work out, they may have to have doctors scope the knee.
I really dont disagree with you at all. He's being drafted on potential and his freakish size/athleticism. His game is fairly limited on offense and he's a poor shooter.
If healthy I think he's a top ten pick just for potential. With current circumstances he may be grateful to just go in the first round and try to make any $ that he can.
Paying him 3 million coming off major ACL injury was just a waste of resources.
That is a 9-12 month recovery minimum.
As others have stated, that knee has to be scoped

I would recruit over Jelly and Mo. I would bring in another top PG and tell Lowe we want him back, he will play, but we have to replace DA anyway. Also need a another top guard to replace Oweh. I wouldn't recruit over Chandler or MM
You know what else is swelling?
my pee pee

I am amazed that JQ managed to play at all. Everything I have read indicates an injury like JQs can take over a year to fully heal, to the level needed to play college or pro basketball. NBA will not back down from taking him because by summer camps JQ will be 14 to 15 months post surgery.
It is now much less of a gamble for an NBA team to take him early in the draft than it was for Pope to take him ,with the high price tag, and very little chance of playing. jmo

No colonel sanders, youre wrong
Was going with The Andy Griffith Show reference, but that works too.
JQ is going to be the first player to trip over their own dreadlocks before their career is done.
This is embarrassing
And it got likes lol .He tore his ACL , meniscus, and fracture is knee cap just under a year ago. It's obvious after the St. John's game he was struggling. Also Im sure you understand how bad leg injuries can be on a big man. But yeah he's faking . That was the dumbest thing I've read on rafters in a while .
From my eyes , there was a noticeable difference in his explosiveness he had in the St John’s game vs the Alabama and Mizzu games .
Just stop. He’s not hurt. My God people are naive.
I’m not sure.
I originally thought the same as most other people, but I think he may actually be hobbled a little. I’ve watched him in time outs, going and coming from the locker room, and other subtle times and it always looks the same. Got a slight gimp.
Look, I’ve seen him at Ladies games walking normally. How does he still have swelling?
Good to know. OP..... JQ with continued swelling... ok .... ( means for me ) no distractions off court or on court with him, he aint playing the rest of the year, he shut down.
he gone.
end of story, next man up as always. less distractions and focus on the job at hand.
We dance with the team we got.
Go Big Blue !

that bellarmine game he was stuck in the mud trying to move/pivot. like you said....it was obvious. kid gave it a go and you have to credit him for that.This is embarrassing
i'll bet he gets a 2nd surgery when the season is over. if that happens it will be curious what choices he makes. safe bet is he bets on himself and goes pro....but with a 2nd surgery i'm just not sure he is a 1st rounder that point.
I bet he'll be healed up just fine by combine week

He definitely won't play at the combine just get weighed and measured. May even opt out of athletic testing.
I'd roll with Jelly and Mo at the four unless they are unrealistic about their market value.
You would have to land a Yaxel type to let both walk.
Kam and Hawthorne also give you options at the four since both are combo 3/4's.
If everyone comes back you only need a pg and an Oweh replacement.
More than 12 on scholarship is a waste imo.
Lesson learned. A program is better off getting 2-3 guys in the million dollar market. Take their willingness to play and desire to succeed hoping they blossom into consistent production.
I guarantee if Pope knew how this would play out he'd gladly have taken another 3 and D guy and definitely a backup PG.

If I am an NBA team, I'm not taking him in the top 20. Honestly, he's not that different than Vanderbilt was when he went to NBA. No offensive game more than 3' from the rim, with an injury that isn't fully healed.
I think at PG, Pope has to be thinking add a starter, not a backup. If Lowe returns, he can either be the backup, or get the chance to beat out the other guy to start. But we can't count on him to be 100% healthy enough to be the starter. Also, he does have the big hole in his game (shooting) and didn't seem that great at getting teammates involved.
I wouldn't be opposed to a Twin Towers look of MM & JQ. I think Moreno could have a nice 15' game next year. And no doubt a healthy JQ could guard any PF/4. But if you did that, you need to make sure all 3 other guys on the floor can make shots/3's.
i bet most see his ceiling to be someone like jalen duren. most of his shots are within 10 feet. get you 17 and 10, blocks, steals shoot around 65% from the floor and defend at a high level.
