    If a Blazers medical staff says he's at 100%, that really means 70%.

    I'm excited to see what he can do if he stays healthy.

    I don't get why people keep saying that. He had two unrelated injuries. To me that's not injury prone that's just bad luck. It's not like he had constant knee problems like often or Roy. He had a knee problem then ripped his chest muscle. Correct me if I'm wrong here.... But I do agree I can't wait to see him play

    I didn't say he was injury prone.

    The opposite to my post would be "I'm excited to see what he can do if he gets injured again."

    If I recall correctly, the surgeries on his knees where to correct something that he's had his whole life that caused his knee caps to pop out of place often. So I agree that I wouldn't call him injury prone at this point in his career.

    I wonder if he has what it takes to be as good defensively as he seems to be offensively. I mean, I could envision a team in 3 years of Lillard/Williams/Batum/Meyers/LA that might not be too bad at all.

    I agree to an extent, but I also remember this getting repeated about oden, how the injuries weren't connected, but they just kept happening. It's bad luck! we all said.

    I don't know if Williams is injury prone. But I do know he's missed games due to injury and due to preventative surgery. I am anxious to see what he can do if he can stay healthy. Which is yet to be seen, on both counts. I'm also anxious to see what Batum and LaMarcus can do, if they can stay healthy. Etc.

    Oden was an abomination. Just look at him, he looked 60. At least Elliot looks his age...

    Not all of us said that. I'm not at all happy to be correct about Oden's obvious fragility, though.

    A hard sneeze and the guy gets a major injury.

    Time will tell. Hopefully he'll play most of this season.

    Yeah, and if I recall correctly, EWill is about a decade younger than Oden so that makes him what? 50ish?

    ;)

    Gramp...

    Tough offseason #Blazers news to report: Guard Elliot Williams suffered a torn left Achilles tendon today during a voluntary workout.

    Injury prone? or just bad luck?
