Lipsey and Williams, next year
- Thread starter papapope160
- Start date
I think we will see them both on the floor at times. If one of them becomes a shooting threat then we will for sure see them on the floor at the same time.
Lipsey starts, Williams is backup PG, Williams also sees some minutes off the ball.
Boom, done, question answered until next season starts.
Williams should have had time to get up a ton of shots. Should be able to shoot before you could do much of anything else, right? Seems like an opportunity for him to carve out time as a 2 to me. Otherwise why wouldn’t he consider transferring again?

It’s a good question and one nobody on this board could possibly answer even if they watch a lot of old temple highlights. It’s a good problem to have though now find more complimentary shooters.
Just a wild guess, but I think both get 30 minutes or so, with Lipsey getting his at point, and Williams getting the balance of PG plus some at other spots.
I think the ideal situation is Williams can shoot well enough to play off the ball. Having 2 guards on the court with PG skills is not a bad thing, as long as at least one has a jump shot
I actually think Williams will shoot in the low 30's this year but won't take a lot of them. He's at his best in the midrange and getting all the way to the rim.
It’s nice having 2 pg on the floor at the same time the more ball handlers the better!
I think if one becomes a shooting threat he'll simply play more than the other. Our SG will come from the portal.
As someone that has had Achilles surgery I would say that's correct. I "played golf" 4-6 weeks after. And hiked Camelback 3 months after. But not sure I could run yet. So shooting was probably OK 3 months out I would guess. Of course mine didn't rupture, they removed it to take a spur out and then they anchored it in my heel. Depending on the gnarliness of the rupture could have changed his recovery for sure.
I'm just really hoping Jeremiah can return to full, or near full, pre-injury function. To which, for his injury, there is no guarantee.
I would guess that he will play next year, but I don't expect him to be 100% yet, thus lower minutes than some here would like. The following year, '24-25, is when perhaps we might expect full pre-injury function. Still no guarantee, however.
Fingers crossed.

Evidence suggests that sports with explosive plantarflexion demands, such as basketball, may be associated with a greater decrease in performance despite operative intervention after Achilles rupture.

Professional Athletes' Return to Play and Performance After Operative Repair of an Achilles Tendon Rupture - PubMed
An Achilles tendon rupture is a devastating injury that prevents RTP for 30.6% of professional players. Athletes who do return play in fewer games, have less play time, and perform at a lower level than their preinjury status. However, these functional deficits are seen only at 1 year after...

This is good stuff for people to read through and try to understand. An Achilles rupture is no joke.I'm just really hoping Jeremiah can return to full, or near full, pre-injury function. To which, for his injury, there is no guarantee.

"An Achilles tendon rupture can be one of the most difficult injuries that an athlete can face. Very often it requires surgery to repair the tendon, followed by a period of immobilization. Then the athlete must regain ankle range of motion and leg strength, which can also be challenging. Return to the same level of sports or exercise that he experienced prior to the injury is possible, but it is not guaranteed. Many athletes feel that it takes up to a year or more before that leg feels normal or like the other side does."Return to sports after Achilles tendon rupture | Dr Geier

Great post. It's not the career killer it used to be, but it's still a serious injury for sure. Hoping things all go well for JW in his rehab process.I'm just really hoping Jeremiah can return to full, or near full, pre-injury function. To which, for his injury, there is no guarantee.

Good post. Does anyone remember when the injury happened? I wanna say August. If that's right, it means by the end of next year he'll 1.5 years post surgery.
