Sitting there watching his team mates play their guts out
JQ and his Pops should be humiliated

Some players are not just ingrained to do the right thing.
Or, MAYBE, the guy who tried to rush back from an ACL injury is actually having setbacks. I’d even be willing to bet he’s not the first big guy who’s had issues recovering from an ACL tear.
JQ can watch, maybe he will learn from these guys big a.ss hearts. Something him and his daddy don't know about.
F it, Moreno is developing and Jelavic is spreading the floor and helping the offense, we ride with what we got

Why? He’s hurt.
This post is embarrassing

They should just announce that JQ is in the Lowe train and will not return this season. I don’t even want him back at this stage in the season either so little time he’s contributed.
If he comes back, I will be the first to say I am truly sorry. But I would bet a $100 bill he don't play at Kentucky again.
Why’s it embarrassing ? He’s been paid hasn’t he?
Even if he leaves that doesn’t mean he’s faking being hurt. The guy probably thought he was going to the NBA after this season no matter what. The two aren’t mutually exclusive.
It's more fun to believe the worst in an 18-year old kid. I'll give someone coming off a torn ACL the benefit of the doubt that there ::could:: be an issue.
If he never steps foot on the court in a Kentucky uniform again, he still played more than a lot of people on here predicted he would.
Can we not with this? This board said the basically the same thing when Jarred Vanderbilt was out with a foot injury. He ended up missing basically his entire rookie year with that injury.
JQ came back incredibly early from ACL surgery. If he's not right he's not right.

He may not but that doesn't change that his surgically repaired knee is having issues .
I don’t think it’s the kids character that’s the biggest issue.
I really think this might be the case. I have seen the kid rooting hard for his teammates. He played hard while he was out there. If he were 100%, I think he would be back. If I were his dad, and he tried to come back to early and reinjured it, I would probably make damn sure he was right before I let him go back out there
Per Jack Pilgrim, the doctor has not cleared JQ to practice. That's why he is currently shutting it down. This is not a Shaedon Sharpe situation.
They got 3 million I don’t think they are ashamed about that
Don't confuse the RR skeptics with facts. They can't handle the truth.
I don't see a need to go there, op.
It might be in JQ's best financial interests to play in college next year. This draft is so unusually strong that he's now down to #13 in some mocks with guys like Acuff and others behind him that could pass him up. In other words, he might fall out of the lottery this year but would have a chance for #1 next year if he came back healthy and played well(and shows some offensive potential).

Lets do an experiment
All skeptics, go tear your ACL and keep a log on here on how your recovery is going. Let's see where you are after 9 months, 10 months, a year. Swelling in a knee is very common for basketball players who tore their ACL. Thats an awful lot of running, stopping, jumping, cutting.
JQ is also no small dude. He's 6ft 10, 260 pounds. That and his athletic ability puts that ACL through a real test on the court. Plus, he's already shown he was willing to play for this team. He really doesn't deserve the skepticism. Even if he's been paid,

Yup. Too extreme of a post from me after watching those guys fight tonight. For the record, I think this kid would be playing if it was entirely his decision. But other voices seem to be calling the shots. Hope it turns out well for him.
Yes. Doctors
All I’ve heard from Pope is there is swelling. That seems to be a normal after effect of an ACL injury. Is there another tear we’ve not heard about?
These kids aren’t just playing for education and housing anymore. With monetary rewards, they should expect some scrutiny.
All I know is his dad came out bitching about how he was being used, then literally a day or 2 later there’s swelling and he’s sitting. Fair to say I do not know what it going on. If it’s an injury I get it if it’s not, then that’s awful.
Just take the L and move on..
I have moved on. Really enjoy the guys fighting like they did tonight. When NIL money dries up due to situations like this, it will be a problem.
His dad came out bitching about how he was being used on X, then immediately he sits and doesn’t play and they say it’s swelling. Correlations doesn’t mean causation so who knows. But it gave me the impression it’s possible there’s a rift between JQ’s dad and Pope, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s sitting due to draft and wants to send a signal to scouts that he was only playing bad due to Mark using him wrong. But I don’t know, could just be weird timing.
Here's his dad's info...
Make of it what you will...

Go to bed son. Adults are trying to have reasonable conversations here.
I don't blame the kid. He is 20 years old with maybe 60 more years to live. Nobody is going to remember him five years from now in the state of Kentucky. He can take care of his grandkids grandkids with the money he is capable of making. He is a great athlete that can only lose money by playing . He is not going to learn how to shoot or make an offensive game in a month. Let the NBA have less reasons to drop his value. It's falling right now and showing more flaws is not going to help him.
