Do people really think that NBA guys stop playing basketball until training camp? Hendicks injured himself preparing for draft workouts. I have never understood the "oh noes a guy playing basketball may die if he plays five more minutes!"
Hahaha.. doesn’t matter if he’s hurt, just get him out there pronto!
I kind of feel the same way. It would suck though since Hendricks and Sensa aren't likely to play at all either and maybe Ochai is done.
amen, i wanna see hendricks and sensabaugh.
keep in mind, injury was a secondary reason. the primary reason was the one i mentioned first. also, i've already admitted that points similar to yours are good ones.
Pack a lunch.

Savings account! Those pesky money market accounts earn too much interest.
It’s funny because we don’t make these arguments about preseason when it’s young guys playing. But preseason would be meaningless. Not to mention a lot of his actual NBA minutes will be meaningless. These guys are playing pick up all the time.
If he's hurt like Henny... then I would sit him... he appears to not be hurt. Getting reps now and if he did happen to get hurt would be better than in preseason as it would mess up your regular season. I might sit him the next game to make sure he is rested/recovered... but I wouldn't shut him down. If he was a second year guy I get it... you have a good enough sample to shut it down. I just want to see if its a little fluky with the hot shooting.
I mean, let's face it, he's not a 54% FGs and 44% 3pt guy. those sort of elite shooting numbers are not sustainable for any volume shooter, hence those numbers in particular are definitely at least a little "fluky". but they would be fluky for pretty much anybody - they are numbers that steph curry and kevin durant don't hit. he could go 3-13 and 1-7 from three in his next game, and that wouldn't mean is excellent play the first few games is a fluke, rather the law of averages is catching up to him - it might drop him to 48% and 38% which is would still be really good overall.
Right which is why I'm skeptical... I think I worded it in one post as its definitely flukey but also maybe not lol.
I think you can judge it a little. The results are obviously amazing... but he also just shoots it so effortlessly and comfortably and the makes are really clean. But yeah... I'd like a bigger sample if possible... so give me 2-3 more games to see it. At the rate he cranks em out we should have a decent sample size to make some okay surface judgements.
Injury is the main one.
