That fucking sucks!!!

Sorry for the language….

Cool Story Bro Moment: For TXA’s The Fan, I cut b-roll of Roddy B at practice and making a couple buckets because of this story. Yay?

I’m starting to wonder if he will ever be as great as we thought he would anyway. Also if he plays heave minutes that keeps Brewer on the pine further. I’m hoping we let Stevenson go and Give Brewer his minutes…

I can’t think of a basketball player whose foot injury derailed his career. Certainly there are cases where a guy is screwed up for a year or two, but at least it’s not a lingering problem with his ankles or knees. Guys have had a bad year or two and bounced back to great careers. Look at Grant Hill (though I hope Roddy bounces back faster than that).
Also, this explains his not living up to expectations last year. Hopefully he’ll work his butt off in rehab, and use a lot of his down time to watch tape and talk strategy and tactics.
I’m glad we didn’t trade him after his rookie year because 1) that would have been a kick to the gut at the time unless the Mavs got a Star Player, which obviously wasn’t offered 2) anything different about the team’s chemistry could have swung the playoff run in the other direction 3) he still has some real promise.

Really starting to think this is one of those deals of “What could have been!” Roddy has just stayed hurt and never really been able to contribute to the team or grow as player due to these types of things. Now I wish maybe we would have thrown him in for a big name player but that really doesn’t matter now, b/c we still won the Championship. Hope he heals up and this is the last surgery but if it’s not it may be the end of something that never really started.

we usually expect a breakout season? Think his development will have been stunted due to missing so much time so that if he doesn’t breakout his 3rd season it might be excusable, especially since PG is the hardest position to learn.
