In full contact sessions and also not

Julius Randle tells @ChrisBHaynes that he re-injured his shoulder five weeks ago going through a "full-contact session." Knicks have said this whole time that Randle was never cleared for contact and was making progress.Story here: https://t.co/4fffcorgIr— Fred Katz (@FredKatz) April 4, 2024

It can be hard to tell if the Knicks are objectively weird about injuries or if we just follow their injury spin more closely than we do any other team’s, but this cuts squarely in the “they’re objectively weird about injuries” direction.

Julius Randle is feeling good but hasn’t been cleared yet for full contact, Tom Thibodeau says. Randle’s been doing controlled contact but hasn’t been taking live contact. Randle has been in this stage of rehab for a few weeks. Thibodeau says Randle hasn’t had setback.

Some good news finally.

A guy (not me! 🙂 ) just commented on Rokas after watching him play today against Maccabi in EL… and he made Pagliacci look like the king of the optimists! 😀

LOL! For the record, it’s not me either. There’s more european Knicks fans than Max and me. 😀

I hold him to a much lower standard. Like have you ever done a fantasy draft and one guy doesn’t show up bc he got stuck late at work, so the computer just autoselects the highest ranked player for him every time?

If Leon didn’t show up to any of the drafts, and a bot did all the picks just by taking the top ranked prospect, we’d have added Halliburton, Bane, Tillman, Jalen Johnson, Keon Johnson, Sharife Cooper, and Jalen Duren.

There is no consensus objective pre-draft ranking of players

Are you taking kickbacks from Big Buzzkill 😉
