You can see our injuries, Butler is the exception. Carr, Jaxson, (and Kerr) are probably the least physical players in our main rotation. If you're not strong or physical, you're more likely to get injured. Just look at Auburn's players, big, strong guys, and they don’t have serious injuries. Oweh and Amari are the two strongest players on our team, and they haven’t had any major injuries. We need better physical players to prevent injuries next season

This is entirely untrue. While weak muscles can contribute to injuries, just 'being strong' does not make you immune to ankle roles, bone breaks, muscle pulls etc... These guys are in way better condition that you've probably ever been in in your life.

So having a really bad collision in practice that tears a tendon/ligament in your wrist is a product of being weak? You can be built like a tree trunk and if you land the wrong way you can break a bone or tear a ligament. Don’t believe any of our players are weak or soft. Butler, Robinson, and Carr have played 4 years of college basketball and not had anything like they’ve had this year. It called bad luck.
