sure but his agility at that size made him the unicorn ...

he's very young and also a great pro (eat/sleep/etc) .. so chances are he'll have a full recovery. Also it'll help his game mature by minimizing reckless play... also helps the knicks get a pick.

agree with all that hope he recovers like Embiid has but rather Philly and Knocks take dat gamble with max money on injured big men...
hope he gets and stays healthy

because that is my prefference... I think bigs in that range are better able to switch and defend pnr ...tough for guys over 7 foot 1 to defend that the really good defenders like Zo, hakeem kg arent over 7 foot 1

Bake. Was really the only 6’10 or under centre to be so dominant defensively. Zo was not as agile. Robinson and Garnett, both over 7 were able to.

I guess I can include sheed who’s 6’11

if you truly believe david and KG are 7 foot 1 i have a plot of land to sell you on Antartica and even if you count them still not over 7 foot 1 which is where i see the injury risk and poor mobility... and those guys are outliers regardless ...

Then if you believe porzingis is 7’3 ... the nba don’t leave porzingis out of this height exaggeration business.

And Robinson confirmed himself he’s 7 foot and half an inch.

that is under 7 foot 1 ...

[Kyle Orton]

that magical half inch changes everything

[ambchang]

that is under 7 foot 1 ...

Over 6 10 though.

Btw, we should use official heights.

A torn ACL is not a career-threatening injury like it used to be.

no, but it is a season ender in any case, basketball is a rhythm sport unlike any other, and there are examples like Rose where they never come back the same.

Rhythm has nothing to do with it; NBA players are off for five months generally between the end of the season and the start of training camp. Knicks weren't going to make any noise regardless so in the long run this more than likely helps the franchise. As for Rose, he was heavily reliant on athleticism and he had multiple knee injuries, not just the torn ACL.
