You seem to be entirely missing the the context

Kyler1313

20 | 5 hours ago

If the context is a guaranteed top 4 pick not playing through injury because he knows he has a minimum of 50 million dollars riding on his health, it doesn’t change my opinion.

The dude is 18 years old with generational wealth coming his way. Not playing through injury isn’t something that should be some massive red flag. Peterson is one of the most talented guard prospects I’ve ever watched, he could’ve sat out the entire year and been a top lottery pick. It easy to say he should be a warrior and play through injury for the sake of his team, but it’s also a extremely rash thing to ask of him…

roastedhambone | Thunder

-2 | 5 hours ago

It’s not that he’s not playing through injury, it’s that he sometimes is, sometimes isn’t, and doesn’t seem interested in keeping Kansas in the loop. People said Ant was a little too goofy and talked about playing football, they said Jaylen Brown had too many interests outside of basketball. There were never questions about them actually playing

Kyler1313

He’s an 18 year old with a thousand voices in his ear. A lot of prospects these days don’t care much about college basketball and want the fast track to the Pros (look at the amount of guys who forgoed college for the G-league). Peterson knows he’s a pro and wants to get the league healthy. It might be frustrating but I think if you think that makes him any less of an NBA prospect you will lose out on a true talent.

People had these same type of arguments with Nick Bosa and Jamar Chase in the NFL and both went on to be the best I’m their positions. Some athletes use college as a stepping stone to the pros, and that’s okay.

roastedhambone | Thunder

I don’t think any of those things 😂. If he’s not healthy, he should shut it down entirely, he’s a lock for top 4, and imo the only thing keeping him from being a lock for 1 is concerns about his health, which the constant back and forth and speculation is not helping. It’s just simply not comparable to what people said about ant and Jaylen brown

Kyler1313

2 | 4 hours ago

I thought you were agreeing with the comment above mine. I’ve just seen a lot of people talk about how Peterson stock should fall when he’s an incredible talent.

And I agree the Ant, Brown, and Peterson situation are all different. But I just think the whole he hates basketball argument is stupid unless it shows up in very visable work ethic issues.

Moped_Thief

He might have had an injury at some point, but what he’s done to my Jayhawks this season is ridiculous. Sat out so many games. Played a full half in others and looks amazing but then just decides to sit for the rest of the game. And then last night, at home against the #1 undefeated team in the country, decides minutes before the game that he has the “flu”.

He’s an absolutely incredible talent, but I can’t be a fan of him after the way he has acted.

If a guy plays I don’t like pulling them when healthy. Slightly more okay with resting guys nursing injuries.

Silver could have solved this the Wemby year by cracking down hard on tanking. He’s let it go on too long

Ivica Zubac on his ankle: “Uhh I did miss some time earlier in the year. Came back much sooner than anticipated and uh it hasn’t been 100% since then. Still got some swelling and soreness in there and get it to 100%. I’ll get out there when I’m fully recovered and ready to play”
