This is great to hear. If he can come back playing the way he did in Portland he should definitely start. This is confirmation that he did get the procedure that Bryant did. I am excited to see him play. Hopefully, he can be our answer at sg.
Of course Brandon wants to start. He still thinks he is as good as he was his first few years. That is the problem you will see from him. I highly doubt his knees feel that much better. And if they start hurting, he will whine when he isn't the center of attention on the team. Dude says all the right things in the media 99% of the time, but he is a whiner.
Hopefully that's not the case but we will have to see during the season. I'm hoping he can return to form. At the very least if he can still shoot open shots and draw attention from defenses, he will be way better than what we have at SG currently.
If there's no pain or loss of function from the lack of meniscus... does it matter? I'm happy for Brandon that he's feeling better, but it seems to me that the grind of an NBA season is tough enough for guys with two intact knees... Ed O.
