Bad news for former Blue Devil Theo John as he has injured his knee on the eve of NBA summer league play.
It doesn’t sound like a terribly serious injury but summer league is a proving ground for any young player who wasn’t drafted, and many who were. It’s a chance to make an impression on NBA talent analysts and it’s really a shame he’ll miss that.
Odds are they saw what we saw at Duke and what Marquette fans saw up there: a powerful big man who has no problem subordinating himself to something bigger than himself.
