Smith Injury

[hardytime]

Ultimately none of us can know whether it's a "good idea" for him to play or not. Unless you are the kid and staff. If he plays, I will assume it is because everyone is on board with that being in the best interest of Dev and the team. If not, it's not.

Yup. We have no idea the extent of the injury. Heck we dont even know the injury really. A couple different diagnosis's have come out already. I am fine if he plays tomorrow night as that will indicate it was more hoopla then it seemed to be. I am sure the medical staff will steer him correctly.

SJU physical therapist said Smith is healing rapidly;

Wax on, wax off

If players can, they play. I am sure SJU has a more than competent medical staff that will rule him out if that is the right call.

Dev is greatly important.... some might even say... Bigly.... to the success of our team... BUT

if there was ever a stretch in a Schedule to "rest" and get "right".... it would be these next 5 games:
-GTown - Home
-SH - Away (gonna be a home game)
-X - Home
-GTown - Away
-Prov - Home

need him 100% on Feb 4

Expecting 10-1 after these next 5.

We got a big time coach building a big time team.
No more saying oh let's take 4 of these 5 games.

I'm a very greedy person, I want all 5.
If we can't be a big time team under Rick, then we'll never be a big time team.

Then we'll get the 5* recruits attention, and we'll never look back with Slick Rick as coach.

They might just use their long time traditional fall back "tendinitis" diagnosis.

Rick Pitino says there's a "60-70%" chance of Deivon Smith playing versus Seton Hall on Saturday.

Maybe just posturing but I’d say hold him out.

Congrats on your text to me at the half, “We win by four”. Starting to like you even more than Mullins Revenge.

I would rest Deivon until he’s 90/95%
Coming back too soon usually leads to getting re-injured.

Would obviously be nice to have him in case the hall game gets in Kadary’s head at all.

 

[BrooklynRed]

Smitty's value to the team was clearly on display tonight--a difference maker

 

[Marillac2]

Would really like to see him come off the bench as needed if he is going to play. We don’t need him running into Wusu or their bigs.

This. Seton hall is gonna have to muck it up to make this a game…. They gonna run smith through everything…

If I’m Sha I’m running him into 3 screens per possession early and I’m putting Wusu on him.

I wouldn’t sit him if he’s good to go. They wouldn’t play him if he wasn’t good to go. If he plays he’s good to go.
