Message: [QUOTE="Brooky03, post: 2136417"] Brooklyn didn't need him, so his rehab was extended about a month longer than it needed to be based on reports. Rehab is rehab, and Syracuse has access to some pretty darn good doctors and trainers. There wouldn't have been much difference in the rehab regimen, but Cuse probably would have put him back on the court when he was ready (low re-injury risk) instead of waiting at least a few weeks more than necessary to protect a multi-million dollar investment. If he came back for most of conference play and played well, showing improvement as postseason came around, he would have shot back up into the lottery. He was a lotto pick who dropped out of the lottery because of the uncertainty around the injury. Take away that uncertainty and his draft stock jumps a ton. [/QUOTE]
