Almost the exact same hitter as last year, just way unluckier this year.
He'll clearly never be the same. He's young so he has time on his side but that was f***ing horrendous. Aside from the physical issues it'll also be a huge mental barrier for him to trust his leg again as well.
Willis McGahee destroyed his leg back when he played with The U and he recovered to have a solid career. Adrian Peterson came back from a terrible ACL/MCL injury and rushed for 2K yards... It can happen. Odds are against him though.
Good for the Raps though. Only teams I'm nervous about in the East are Cleveland and Washington. I see no reason why the Raps can't easily finish 2nd in the EC next year.

Pacers guard Paul George had a "good surgery. No ancillary damage" but likely out for next season, a source told Yahoo Sports.
Pacers are f***ed
Also, some info coming out as to why Ujiri took Bruno so high:

Quite possible. You almost never hear about guys getting busted for roids in the NBA... Makes you wonder how strict their testing system is.
Maybe it's just genetics too. A lot of these guys simply have small legs/bones. They're long and lean. You see big, brutish offensive lineman in the NFL get drilled in the shins/legs all the time and you only see a few nasty breaks per year. Obviously heavy weight training for your legs would help in preventing these types of injuries (stronger ligaments and muscles keep things stabilized) but if you naturally have thin bones then there really isn't much you can do.

Get these guys into a f***ing squat rack.
Some of these guys have insanely skinny legs. Tyson Chandler looks like he's never trained his legs a day in his life. Something like this was bound to happen.
That's a career changing injury right there. Dear god.
