Here's the thing about injuries ... they can happen at any time and often come as the result of non-contact situations ... it's part of the risk of playing sports.

You hate seeing them at any time to anybody ... but barring anything uniquely significant he'll end up being fine in the long run ...

Even if it is year ending for his first professional year and hurts his draft stock, the likelihood is that he'll get picked by a good/great organization that has the depth to be able to stash him for a year.

Things happen for a reason ... you never know why at the time but they tend to work out in the long run.

How are your first round corners doing at their pro days?

They thought Pettis was going pro this year so they stayed home.

First paragraph is spot on.

After that, I have a hard time with this. He's going to lose a ton of money on his first contract, plus probably endorsement money. And I don't think the odds that he ends up with a great opportunity and organization are any better or worse than he was before the injury.

Sometimes the reason things happen is we live in a shitty broken world.

Also a fair stance ...

There's always a chance a team with a lot of picks like Cleveland would be willing to draft and stash ... but more often than not it is the smarter teams that are willing to draft and stash.

No question that he'll potentially lose money on his first contract but with the way the draft salaries have been curbed you tend to get paid now with your second contract. If one falls out of the first round I'm pretty sure you get through your first contract faster so who knows how it plays out in the long run.

As for endorsement dollars, I can't imagine it's THAT significant ... I don't think Marcus Peters has significant dollars ... endorsements tend to go primarily to offensive players.

I had the same thought about Cleveland, if the injury is significant I'd say there's a good (20-25%) chance he ends up there.

You're probably right about endorsements. I believe the CBA says that first round picks get four year deals with a team option for the fifth year but the nature of the option depends on how high in the first round taken and what position you play. Non first rounders just get four years of team control.

I'm pretty sure for a kid coming out they're more concerned about the guaranteed up front money than the shot at bigger money down the line, but I could be wrong. There's certainly a chance this all works out fine for him (especially if the injury isn't significant). There's also a chance this alters his trajectory significantly.

I blame @DeontaeCooper being in the house.

If it's the Achilles that's probably worst case scenario ... but at the same time, that's as much of a wear and tear injury as anything ... very rarely does it just go randomly.
