I really disagree, I don't think nba GM's would even look twice at this. They take guys into the league all the time who do things that make JB being competitive over a video game look like absolutely nothing.(which it is)
Last word on JB's hand...

Right. They do indeed. But those guys that get picked where GMs have overlooked something are sure fire NBA talents. Berry is not. Therefore a guy on the fence - like Berry - needs to make sure he doesn’t give even one GM a reason to question him.
I'm really trying to see what you're talking about, I wonder if you could give any examples specifically. I can't honestly recall a borderline guy not getting taken because of an off the court issue. PJ Hairston still was taken in the late first rd(I believe) after not even playing his junior year because of things we are all well aware of.
I'm sure you're gonna argue hes a "sure fire" NBA guy but he wasn't so much so that something like what happened shouldn't have really hurt him-if what you're saying is even remotely true.
That's grinder not tinder.
Really hard to believe that this topic has spun out as it has. Geez guys, it is over, he broke his hand, really doesn't matter how. This has morphed way away from the topic and has become a contest of who can piss for more distance. I thought this nonsense was finished with the original thread but clearly folks needed a distance remeasure?
@chapelhillbill67 Umm I'm pretty sure you meant to quote someone else. I've done nothing but defend Berry through this whole thing.
I don't know how this happened but someone logged in as me "champelhillbill67". No harm was done but I don't see how this can be allowed.
Opinion. Read something that if this injury would have occurred during the cbampionship run last year Joel would have sucked it up and played in the games. If the Heels lose one of th first two games, he will be back for Stanford. IMO, the Heels are an NIT team without Berry.
I've broken that bone. Now, I'm not JB nor do I have the doctors he has...but there is NO WAY he would have played through that during the first week.
It blows up like a balloon and hurts like all hell to the touch. The thought of catching, dribbling, or shooting a ball that quickly is incredibly unreal.
A 50% Berry is better than an 100% Nate Britt. He would have wrapped that finger up and gave it a shot. Convinced of it.
Yeah, I see Roy as a long-haul kinda guy... not having JB hurts but it hurts more at the end rather than at the beginning of a 39 game season.
Roy loses games for fun in the OOC schedule tinkering with lineups and whatnot... why would he risk losing Joel longer term by aggravating an injury if he brings him back before he's 100%?
