For all I know, he'll be an ace off the bench for us, but getting that last 2% doesn't usually involve this kind of risk.
Where have you seen he had an achilles tear? hasn't been mentioned at all and I can't find anything about it. Also, he had surgery in april of 2018... He's been playing full go basketball since January, just not with Western Michigan, so as to preserve his eligibility. Also, ACL injuries really aren't all that hard to come back from anymore unless you do it more than once.
