Well, the Bulls just (re)picked up Javonte Green and there is five of him so I doubt they would have the roster space anyway.

those don't sound "that serious" but having had one myself while playing ball, it freakin hurts EVERY TIME you cut or make any kind of play. With his knee being tendinitis, that's rough because he's young and really, the only true cure is to rest it (which for a college/nba athlete is impossible. I'm curious if any kind of procedure can actually help it.

I mean that's my question, I would love to have him back, but if he's about to have ACL surgery or something we're probably not getting a full year out of him.

That sounds almost Pitino-esque.
a few analysts/people I tend to respect have said Butler could surprise some next year and may be a guy that the coaches just have to play because he makes so many winning plays. Do you agree?

Man, if Bill Raftery enjoyed gushing about Richard Keene’s hair in the 90s (he called Keene “Elvis” and was always saying he “likes to stroke the locks”), he’ll have an absolute field day with this.

It's really hard for true freshmen in an era where all the high major teams are full of 23/24 year olds who have been starting for years at lower levels. Talent only means so much when all your competition just knows the game way better than you do.

How long do you feel it will be before another transfer portal addition announces?

Put me in the “DGL Believer” camp. I love the kid’s passion, I was impressed by some of the minutes he gave us as a freshman and I’m a firm believer he can contribute here for several more years.
How set is Storr on pursuing the NBA route. In other words, are we likely to have to wait until the deadline to withdraw from the draft or close to it before he announces a transfer destination?
Only saw this b/c of @ALionEye but...
