but the team could very well give up on that buyout money(i guss it's not much) instead of staying with not functional player who can't contribute...
Re: Spurs Draft: Livio Jean-Charles
and it's too bad that it happened also because he looked very promise at the u20 eurobasket, he was one of the best players of the tournament, the star of the Franch team that without him we saw how they suck.

He is under contract until 2016 so he will be back and hopefully contribute well before the end of his contract. And while he is injured, his salary is paid by the French welfare system. His team has no reasons to give up on a buyout that is around $500K.

For those asking about surgery on ligament sprains, torn ACLs are considered sprains. There are three degrees of sprains. A first degree sprain has micro tears in the ligament and heal on their own. Second degree sprains are partially torn ligaments and typically heal without surgery. Third degree sprains are full-blown tears and almost always require surgery.
Re: Spurs Draft: Livio Jean-Charles
So he's finally going to play in summer league.
Two observations:
(1) There aren't a lot of videos of him playing *after* his injury
(2) Nobody in the press or coaching staff is talking about him playing. Maybe they are all underwhelmed.
LJC was selected right after Gobert. Let's see if he was worth it.
Re: Spurs Draft: Livio Jean-Charles
So far this draft isn't looking very good.
Had one game where he had a monster block party (6 blocks) and then it was downhill ever since.

He has impressive defensive potential. However, his offensive game is still very undeveloped. That year that he missed due to injury really stunted his development. Still a long term project with him. Revisit in a couple of years, by then he will be 23 and still young to hopefully continue improving. Whether he makes it over to the NBA depends on him improving.
Re: Spurs Draft: Livio Jean-Charles
If he can just flash any sort of a mid-range game, he has enough defensive potential to be a contributor in the NBA. I think the best comp for him is Luc Richard Mbah a Moute...hang his hat on D, hit enough mid range Js to keep the D honest.
Re: Spurs Draft: Livio Jean-Charles
Any idea why he was a DNP tonight?

Could be an injury. Someone mentioned that he was limping in the last game.
Re: Spurs Draft: Livio Jean-Charles
I watched him play in person at the Vegas summer league. He looked terrible, kinda like a weekend YMCA baller. I've been rooting for him for a while but I think I'm moving on.

Yeah, he may be serviceable in 5 years or so and be a good contributor at the end of the bench.. I'm not too thrilled either
