The effing Sixers are going to devalue the Nets pick this early?
Not by their choice this time, ironically enough. I hope this doesn't encourage them to tank this year, it depresses me just thinking about them, prospects or not.
Tough luck for Simmons obviously. But Blake Griffin suffered a nasty injury his first year and came back very strong. Different injuries, but both agile, athletic guys.
He could be fine, but there's always a worry not just of recurring injuries, but of recurring pain and inflammation which weakens his overall game. Would be a shame is Simmons started getting worn down this early in his career.
