Liam recovering on fast track?

So I read this whole thing on Solo Ball and everyone mentions finishing at the run, quickness, height etc but this is all you need to know about the NBA. To not even bothering mentioning defense, which is his biggest weakness, is amazing to me. I guess that’s how little it means huh?:eek:
 
This is really clearing up things regarding Liam's ankle, thanks guys. :(
“He’s still hurting a bit so we’re taking it day by day. He’s itching to get back out there but we want to win in March so we need to be careful with him.”

No idea if that’s what Hurley is saying but I’d imagine it’s something to that effect.

if Ball had a 7'7" wingspan his arms would be dragging across the floor. it's probably in the 6'9-6'10" range like Donovan Mitchell
Ball has a 6-7 wingspan, but 7-7 would be nice.

As others have said it is around 6-10" as 6-7" isn't that impressive for even a 6 3" guy. Where are you getting 6'7" from? The only places online list it at 7'0" and 6'10". He is definitely sumilar to Donovan Mitchell's wingspan .
 
Not proven to help. It's why a lot of NBA players are wearing low cut sneakers these days.
I'm not buying it. The only two times I sparined my ankle badly was playing hoop in lows. I remember one time writhing in pain thinking "why didn't I go back to the room to get my highs"? Then again both times came in the Field House after it rained so...

And guaranteed those sprains will revisit you as you grow older!

Not so much a like as an acknowledgement. I can predict the weather in different joints above and below the waist.

ADD: I just remembered. Both places because of hoop injuries.

Thank you. There’s no way your going to convince me that high tops doesn’t minimize the severity of ankle injuries. I myself rolled my ankle in high tops and walked it off sometimes. In Low tops and it was see you guys next month. The sneaker in the picture is the legendary Nike Hyperdunks.Gods gift to AAU parents about 10 years ago. Literally could get your kid a pair of these and be about 90% worry free. Nowadays, they market sneakers that have the ankle support of Crocs, for real. Kobe started the ultra low top trend. It’s ridiculous nowadays.

Of course, somebody post a picture of an ankle brace or an ankle tape job. Clearly an extension of high tops. Anybody who has sprained their ankle would pick high tops over lows every time!

And that’s it. The pros wear ultra low top sneakers but kids never see the roll of tape that goes on before hand.

Update?
I'm not sure what you're expecting 3-4 days before the next game but this is the only "update" I've seen on his ankle in the last couple days.

The one-and-done type prospect “moved around” to test what movement felt like on his ankle during Monday’s practice, though his status hasn’t changed. Hurley’s initial hope was to have McNeeley back toward the end of January, before the team faces a February gauntlet with two games against both No. 10 Marquette and No. 20 St. John’s, as well as a road trip to Creighton, where the program has never won.
