James Young "Injury"

[Greenbean]

When i read the op conspiracy theory, i wasnt thinking that the celts were "staging" a car accident , but rather embellishing the severity of the neck injury.

To be honest, if they are not exaggerating the injury for some unknown reason, i am pretty worried that this kid has been sitting with no bball activities for a month with a strained neck. It doesnt seem typical unless there are concussion symptoms. Even with concussion symptoms, a month is a long time.

There were concussion symptoms, and it's been about 2.5 weeks.  I think this also should demonstrate how unimportant summer league is.

Article here says a month

My mistake.  I thought I read somewhere that the accident occurred the week before the draft, not two weeks.  Still, the injury isn't so serious he couldn't travel to Florida.  I think there's little to be concerned about.

What? He was there watching the games from the sidelines.

Double negative.  I'll try again:  The injury isn't so serious that it prevented him from traveling to Florida.  I think there's little to be concerned about.

Gotcha.

Im not usually so paranoid about something like this, but I was really excited about this pick. I just hope he doesnt turn into one of those "nagging injury guys who miss 30-40% of every season but never have a surgery". Think Delonte West, or JD Drew.

Im porbably reading too much into it.

Can't get a surgery for  concussion symptoms. But they're scary either way.
