Yeah, Seton Hall didnt make him a 6’ shooting guard with average athleticismIt will most likely hurt Seton Hall because people will just read the headline/story and not read the court filing. Coaches will use it against Seton Hall but this is ridiculous, terrible look for Powell.
The filing looks like it was written by a little kid. He was a surefire lottery pick before he had a career ending injury, what?!?? Tony Testa isn't even the team physician and he's not an MD.Yeah, Seton Hall didnt make him a 6’ shooting guard with average athleticism
Powell's ComplaintWhat I don't get from reading this and other articles out there is whether it was a missed diagnosis or whether Seton Hall knew about the tear and had him play anyway. To me that would determine if it was malpractice on the physician's part or if the coach et al are responsible. I'm also not sure how he proves that his career would have taken a different track if he hadn't played on it.
I would also think the fact he has played in the league the insurance policy (if ever taken out) is negated.
Will be interesting to see more facts come out, but definately not what Seton Hall wants to be in the news for.
Personally, I find the argument that NBA scouts and management somehow 'secretly' found out 1) that he was injured, 2) the nature and extent of that undiagnosed injury and 3) that but for this supposed knowledge he would have been a lottery pick as the most tortured part of the complaint. That's a whole lot of stuff to prove.Powell's argument is flawed. He's arguing that the torn meniscus should have ended his senior season. However, he's also arguing that since he played so well his senior season, he was going to get drafted. Without his stellar senior season, Powell likely wouldn't have been drafted anyway. You could argue that playing hurt gave him his best chance at being drafted. Maybe SHU will settle to make it go away, but this is a losing argument by Powell.
With many above average performancesYeah, Seton Hall didnt make him a 6’ shooting guard with average athleticism
FIFY, if you are really in agreement with Quincy McKnightWith many above average performances
You could tell there were times when he looked to be in pain and really not 100% his last year at the Hall
If people were hiding things I hope he makes a killing but it is his body and you would think he would have had some inkling that something wasn't right and if he wanted he could have sought outside evaluation/opinion.
Hard to say at this point and I am in agreement with Quincy McKnight
All I’m saying is he didn’t have a draftable physical profile. There are tons of prolific scorers who are undersized for the NBA.With many above average performances

There have been 3 Seniors taken in the lottery since 2015 Kaminsky, Cam Johnson & Tauren Prince.This thread with everyone piling on Powell and saying he's just pissed because he wasn't good enough for the NBA is exactly what's wrong with college basketball and football fandom.
Nah, that’s definitely messed up. I just look at is as duties owed, duties breached, resulting damages.I think a lot of people are missing the point that he is claiming they were negligent with his injuries, which is very messed up if true.
I agree what people are saying about his NBA career, but I just wouldn’t be so quick to say Myles Powell is in the wrong here when none of us know what actually happened inside of the program.
