injuries

I thnk it is critical to understand these young kids are pushing the envelope,just punishing themselves and it is up to the team to protect them.
I don't think that you know a player till he has to go through a rehab situation..Thesehigh flyers scare the heck out of me ,they are so vunerable during elevation and landing
 Contested break aways with a player coming from behind at full speed-Avery heard footsteps he was terrible a closing those-
i think part of roziers finishing problems stems from being vulnerable and landing hard, he doesn't like it..
This makes me wonder about Fultz and his ability to play hurt.
All the crowd pleasing dunks are only 2 points unless there is an intimidation factor
Having four young players on the bench during summer league just re enforced that concern that happens with what seems every rookie class.

Aron Gordon,Jabari Parker,Nerlens Noel,Marcus Smart,Zack Lavine,Embid,Simmons,Randle,Noah Vonleh,Exum,,RJH,Winslow'
These young guys are quite an investment -I'm glad the celtics initiated a new program

One rule change that should be considered in the NBA is a minimum 5 game suspension for players who push an offensive player in the lower back while they are in the air driving to the hoop. And even go so far as to institute season-long suspensions for those who repeat this infraction. The message needs to get through to these players that these types of fouls are basically criminal.

In the cases I'm referring to, no attempt is made to block the shot. Just a cheap shot to the back. Saw this happen in one Summer League play. The defender just received a common foul. If I were the coach I would have been livid and sent a complaint to the League office.
