Noah out for Summer League
Trib (no KC Johnson?):
The Bulls will hold their lottery pick out of summer-league action in both Orlando and Salt Lake City, taking a conservative approach with an injury over which they hold no long-term concerns.
"He'll travel to be part of the experience, but he's just going to get treatment because we're going to rest it for the next month so he has his best chance moving forward," general manager John Paxson said. "(Surgery) is a last resort. Our doctors are confident if we go this approach, he'll be fine."
The Bulls, like all teams, viewed magnetic resonance imaging tests of what is believed to be a slight tear in the shoulder before last Thursday's draft. That Noah accepted all predraft workouts while in pain pleased rather than put off Bulls management.
"A lot of guys shy away from those things," Paxson said. "I think you can tell he's about winning and competing."
(I have a feeling we won't read any Pax/Skiles quotes this summer without the word 'winner' in them. Luckily for them the team is winning, so it doesn't come off as eye-roll-inducing as it could.)
Here's Noah on the injury:
Kindof a bummer regarding summer league, hopefully the shoulder heals with plenty of time before training camp so they can make him shoot 2000 jump shots a day. Before being able to enter the Mike Sweetney memorial cafetorium.
There's video of Monday's press conference here (under the 'what's new' tab)

for those of you who follow summer league...
Guess it offers a summer fix for the basketball junkie. How useful is it for the fan to evaluate a player? And where do you go to keep up with summer-league action?

I can't remember what site had the streamline for the games. I'm too lazy to go back and look it up.

Second year participation
The schedule is up for the Orlando league, but teams aren't posted yet. I imagine the Bulls are still trying to round up people to fill out the team.

They are contemplating surgery?
The injury sounds more serious than I had anticipated. It's rather disheartening that he will miss summer league play. While the league itself is meaningless, it is great experience for rookies and tends to accelerate their development. In Noah's case, though, missing summer league is probably less damaging because he spent an extra year in college.
Still, I don't like the specter of an injury hovering over Noah. The Bulls must have done their due diligence, though.
I think it depends
Also, the extent of the injury of course.

good call
However, because repairing a torn rotator cuff can be a complicated procedure, it is often performed as an open procedure. However, arthroscopic repairs are becoming more common, especially for small size tears.

seriousness
How can you not like Noah?
(paraphrasing)
Noah: Well, I'd like to be myself. But to me, winning is the most important thing. If coach thinks I'm hurting the team by being myself, I'll change. I'll calm down. Winning is important to me.
He's not the answer the Bulls were looking for, but I firmly believe he was the best they could have got outside of Oden/Durant/Horford.
yyger1147 - I love Noah'srsponse to that question.
Isn't everyone happy we are not talking

Anyone watching the summer league . .
Tyrus actually makes his jumpers in these games.
I remember watching last year and he would frequently hit them.
I saw a said of him that I never knew was there. Of course, during the regular season and playoffs, I saw what I expected the whole time.
I remember most of the them were pull up jumpers
Anyone notice the height difference between
