The guy I wanted the Bulls to draft. Cleared and ready to go. Says he could have played towards the end of the season. Great move by Denver to draft him. https://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/2 ... mer-League |

His brother has torn his ACL twice after his first college season, and his sister has also struggled with injury problems as a college athlete. Seems like injuries are in the genes. |

I preferred Porter Jr. |

Yup. Bulls doctors almost killed Lou Walding. |

Must be nice to be in a place where you can take a flyer on a guy because you're already good. |

I would be shocked if this guy ends up having a long and healthy career. |

Young team and a guy that may turn out to be the best player out of the group hasn't suited up for you yet. I also think there was another guy Lyles? that missed a ton of games as well. They are set up to be good going forward. |

Top 12-15 player means he's on the Jimmy Butler, Paul George, Dame Lillard tier. No way. Not a chance he gets there at any point in his career. |

I think the bulls should have grabbed him, when healthy he's the best guy on their roster. |

He is good to go and has been for awhile. Malone has been bringing him along slowly because of the Vets that they have in front of him. He is starting to play him more because its becoming increasingly difficult to hold him back. Kid has been impressive in just about every game that he has played. |

That's what pisses me off about the Bulls, there is no reason they can't be the Indiana Pacers, the only reason why not is Paxson. |

Nice to see him playing well. As someone with 7 spine surgeries on his resume and had to give up the love of my life, playing basketball, after surgery #3 I always root for my back surgery brothers to succeed. That said, I am still going to be shocked if this guy has a long and prosperous career free of injury. There isn't a sport worse for your back than basketball. |

Everyone knows the kid is a player....the question will always be can he stay healthy. |

There is no way to predict which guys will be injured and which guys won't. If the Bulls drafted Wendell Carter Jr because they believed that he was less likely to be injured then they are dumber than first anticipated. |
