“He will come back but it’s 50-50 as to the level of his return whether he’ll be the same as he was pre-injury,” New York Chiropractor, Dr. Craig Fishel told Adam Zagoria on Tuesday. “That is most likely not going to happen, probably 90% of himself and subject to re-injury and residual problems ongoing.”

Huge blow to Mizzou and sucks for Porter Jr and for college basketball. He is a dynamic, fun player to watch. Hope he comes back the same. He should still be a top 3 pick in the NBA draft if all goes well so I doubt we see him playing in college again. 

Not sure how he still has a chance at being a top 3 pick.... If I were an NBA exec I would be very cautious especially with the medical prognosis that at best 90% of his former ability and subject to re-injury and residual problems ongoing. That seems like a lot of risk vs reward? I know he was supposed to be good, and he is young so could heal up fine but if I am an exec I want him to show me by playing 1 more season in college.

That’s why I don’t always agree with NBA teams drafting on potential instead of proven ability. I know it goes both ways but I would have to think long and hard before drafting a player coming off an injury

End of Lottery? I would take the chance. Top 5? No way unless his medical and testing were pristine.

mdn is right and that is what Goodman is saying as well.

College reffing is so frustrating. Ever since Freddie got call for the foul on a screen because his feet were wider than his shoulder I have been paying attention to other teams. Currently watching the Texas A&M bigs setting screens with their legs out wayyyy past shoulder width.

Tony Carr is having a really good start to the college basketball season. He has 21 at half. A&M up 2. For me penn st looks better then northwestern

Northwestern can't or won't defend. They're just kind of there. If they start defending they're easily a tourney team.

State looked real good until about 5 mins ago lol A&M is really good though. Penn St. could very well finally make the tourney this year.

UCLA's zone "defense" is absolutely horrible to watch. Weird to watch a lazy zone defense

[Uspshoosier]

Wisky up 7 at half.

College basketball always delivers. UCLA knocks off Wisky with a last second layup. Of course not many saw it since it wasn’t on tv

If you want to watch a really good mid major team go to the SEC network. UT-Arlington will be a dangerous team if they get in the tourney in March

Can't believe this game didn't make TV. Ridiculous. Wish Wisconsin could have pulled it off.
