Talk about everything that could go wrong going wrong at the worst time. Man this hits his draft status even more.
Yeah now this is a big hit to his draft stock..Someone could be getting a steal if he drops, however..But teams are obviously goign to be cautious now.
This could put a real serious damper on his future in the league. I never thought of him as a top 10 pick before, but now I think he could fall to the late first round or even the second.
This really sucks for JJ Redick. First he gets pulled over for that DWI, and now he fails a physical, and might need back surgery? Wow...I guess the Duke curse still lives on...
He will fall out of the lottery picks IMO, could still get picked first round however I seriousely doubt he goes undrafted because of back injuries, i'm sure he'll be ready to go soon.
Wow, this definitely shot up his draft stock a bit. But at the same time, they predicted 2-3 months and he will be ready to play again. So he will be attending training camp in full health, so I don't think he will slip all the way to the 2nd round. No way. But I'm pretty sure he isn't on Houston's top 3 list anymore.
No way is he slipping to the first round, who knows where now but not in the second round. No way title teams like the Spurs or Suns wouldn't pick him late.
One of the non-lottery teams just got alot luckier XD, I hope the Wizards pick him up, we still have 18th pick and we could use J.J. Reddick and then focus on our defense during the off-season with deals involving Haywood/Hayes for a better center.
I havent seen a confirmed report of this story on ESPN or anything..Realgm had it but I dont remember seeing any other outlets with it..
