Don't sleep on David Nwaba

Its not about muscles he might be looking good. But one shaky ass play and his ligaments go straight with the flush in the toilet

Of course not. But its not about muscles but biological/mental recover. I literally asked my surgeon after acl tear if i can get some juice to speed **** up and he told me its not possible and only time can heal it. Profesionals get back quicker because they are paid milions and there is a ton of pressure not because it heals that much faster. Od course training they do prepare them way better than us normies but still... Achilles tear is basicaly game over to peak performance

 

I get what you're saying about muscles not being ligaments, and I agree that we don't know when he'll be 100%. No 2 people recover the same from an Achilles. Rudy Gay was out for 9 months, Cousins was out for 12 months and Mario Chalmers was out for 19 months. Wesley Matthews is a very similar player to Nwaba. He tore his ACL in 2015 and was out for 7 months. He's been a productive/solid 3&D guard even still, and he's older and not as physically gifted (both size and athleticism) as Nwaba.

Wes Matthews
Pre-injury season stats ... 28 years old

2013-14 (82 games): 33.9 MPG, 16.4 PPG (58.8 TS%), 3.5 RPG, 2.4 APG, 15.7 PER

Best post-injury season ...31 years old

2016-17 (73 games): 34.2 MPG, 13.5 PPG (53.3 TS%), 3.5 RPG, 2.9 APG, 11.9 PER

Nwaba was 26 (much younger than most players with this injury), and he will have had almost 13 months since his injury when the season starts, and he's clearly on-pace to play in this upcoming season. That's why the article that was published about him 3 days ago with Kelly Iko quoting the organization saying he's viewed as a "key rotational piece" for the 2020-2021 season. Why would DM have dropped Harty and signed the guy if he thought he would be a lesser player?

 

It is VERY VERY different to perform these moves in training and it is another story to perform this in game, with fatigue and opponent. VERY different my friend and you won't understand it if you haven't had really bad injury. I never in my life had spasm and after just ACL recovery I now get spasm after playing 30 minutes? In the past I could go on playing basketball for 5 hours and wouldn't feel any spasm ever. I know I am a normie but that really puts perspective to those injuries, NBA players are people too. That is why GSW takes their time with Klay it is not worth it to rush it, he will be sidelined for 12-15 months and that is great time to heal his body to the pro level. Achilles is waaaaaaay tougher to recover from to the point you won't get injured again. Look at Boogie. that mother****er after tearing and recovering his Achilles (rushing) tore his ACL just by running straight with the layup. This is unthinkable for 1% pro elite nba athlete. He made this move millions of times before there is no reason to get injured on that play other than not being fully healed

 

Going to be a good player for us I think. Defense and open threes. Perfect timing, because I could see us losing Gordon/House...

 

You guys subscribe to The Athletic?

Worth it?

 

I stopped reading here. I've had 4 sports related surgeries. 1 shoulder that took 2+ years to recover. 2 ankle and one wrist. I am a very good athlete by normal person standards. I have dunked on 10ft goals, yada yada... Agree to disagree, but don't presume to know me.

 

i particularly like that he has the driving game

 

Lmao, if you sound like a moron asking for “juice” you sure as hell aren’t going to get any.

Substances absolutely exist, but if you sound like a liability and aren’t asking a doctor that has access, you’re going to get the line everyone else gets.

 

Great assumption hope you feel better. Now please tell me which steroids help returning from acl reconstruction and why are they used? Because i did my research including friends in pro sports and everybody said it could cause more harm to the joints and speeding it up is not worthy if you are not pro with pressure to play

and i swear if u will go with testosterone or hgh im just gonna leave this convo lol

 

Back to Nwaba.

Thanks for parting gift Daryl!

 

Stone found him.

 

Cool, link?

So wait does being at the "forefront" of said deal, mean they were both his idea? I feel like that could be used to embellish it. Dont mean to be negative, but Im now more skeptical than I ever have been with the Rockets.

 

Is anyone else worried that Nwaba will be a casualty of Silas's rotation? His defense in the 4th quarter alongside Tate helped swing the momentum, and he has been a capable shooter. He needs more minutes.

 

Agree, need to expand rotation to include him, make it a full 10 man rotation.

 

Basketball felony to bench this guy.

 

yea nwaba’s defense kind of changed the tide of the game in that third quarter

 

but do you even lift breh?
