He takes a lot of long and fast first steps. Damn, I am disappointed. That does not look good for his long term serious injury prospects.

At his size it never looked good

If his career is derailed by injuries, this should be the end of the "unicorn", but it won't be.

Davis, KP, Wemby, the skinny unicorn mold simply leads to injuries.

Skinny not a problem. Too tall is

Has a 7'5 player ever not gotten hurt? Yao, Sampson, Porzingis etc. it seems like they always get hurt. Thats why I laughed when people said wemby is the greatest athlete ever yet his body cant even hold up for a nba regular season. People would say hes more athletic than Bo Jackson or randy moss because hes tall. :lol :facepalm

Didn't Bo Jackson have injuries though? Might have been more baseball related which is a different story though.

Bo got hurt playing football. Too bad he didnt stick with 1 sport. He was something else

Bo was never the same after his football injury vs Cincy. Never played football again, also regressed as a baseball player.

I guess it was a good thing to not be swayed by all the hype for him but i'm not really surprised about it.

I hope he's able to come back and not deal with the injury bug. But as others have said, at his height, it seems like a foregone conclusion he'll deal with injuries going forward. I hope his body proves us wrong.

80s NFL was a different time. Current NBA is a cupcake league, but its just that there comes a point where youre too tall that it makes you weak. Like manute bol vs Shaq. That extra half a foot makes things too stretched out and not a sturdy enough. Most 7 footers alone have major health problems much less 7'7.

Actually being that "athletic" and moving the way he does for a tall guy like him is terrible from the injury point of view. And he's still so young, wait till he gets older, its gonna be so much worse after all the stress he puts in every part of his body playing basketball for so many years.

The only good thing about him unlike guys like Zion is, he is clearly aware of that and willing to go the extra mile to do everything he can to figure out a way to fight against it.
