He's definitely injury prone, and from the type of injuries he gets Im not even sure weight lifting will help.

Some nikkas just get hurt a lot :manny:. The nikka has missed significant time each of the last 3 years maybe that's just how he's built. Weight lifting isn't the cure all for all injuries. nikka might fukk around and get hurt lifting. Sad because he has all kinds of potential.

He's actually having the same run of injuries that D. Rose had during that season before he blew out his knee..

A lot of soft tissue injuries, hairline fractures, broken hand bones, sprained joints...

The long term prognosis for him doesn't look very good...

I think that the AAU bball circuit is putting a lot of stress on the bodies of young players. They play year round without focusing on relaxing their bodies is a big problem. Remember boys keep growing through their teens and playing year round like they do now can cause problems to bones, tendons, cartilage, and ligaments in a growing body. They just appear more injury prone. Back in the day when the season was over you relaxed a little more, went through a weight training program to get stronger worked on your skills.

Looks at some #1 picks that have been drafted recently

Greg Oden
John Wall
Kyrie Irving
Anthony Davis

These dudes have been injury prone. I think it shows a breakdown in their bodies from excessive play year round in AAU. This doesn't mean that they will never be healthy, but this is something to think about.
