Philly hoops star dismisses talk of a lost season | Philadelphia Inquirer ...
But the 6-foot-2 Philadelphian, who is slated to start as a sophomore this season, said he would do it all over again.
"People were like, 'What are you doing? Stop!' " Chennault said of his decision to come back after missing 17 games with a broken bone in his left foot.
He gave up a possible redshirt year, and Chennault's critics were concerned that coming back out of game shape could hurt his future NBA draft status.
"People think about the NBA too much," said Chennault, who starred at Neumann-Goretti High. "You have to worry about being a college player before you worry about being a pro. . . .
"People are always wondering about the next level instead of taking care of where you are at right now."
The 2010 Pennsylvania Gatorade Player of the Year said he came back last season to get a reference point for the coming one.
"I didn't want to sit out and go into the next season, wondering how it would be to play in the Atlantic Coast Conference," Chennault said.
That's because he had very few on-court experiences at Wake Forest.
The 20-year-old missed most of last year's preseason with a stress fracture in his foot, then suffered a fracture during the season opener against Stetson.
Once he returned, Chennault averaged 4.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.9 assists while averaging 17.5 minutes for the 8-24 Deacons.
His best game came when he finished with 12 points and four rebounds in 19 minutes on Feb. 19 against Florida State.
Two weeks ago, Chennault took part in the CP3 Elite Guard Camp in Winston-Salem, N.C., hosted by New Orleans Hornets point guard Chris Paul, a former Deacon.
"I went down there to solidify myself," Chennault said. "I wanted to show and prove to people that I'm still one of the best guards in the country."

little_details: ANON POST: Stress fracture and other foot injuries
My main question: The articles that I read said that treatment for a stress fracture in the foot requires total non-use of that foot. What does that mean? Does it mean non-use in the athletic situation that caused the fracture, or like, “don’t-walk-AT-ALL-use-a-crutch” kind of situation? For how long? I extrapolated that he’d be bed/chair-ridden for about a week before walking around lightly - is this correct? (I really hate how the articles were like “LOL it depends, it depends, it depends.” I just want a *rough* estimate of a timeline!) Lastly, how realistic would it be for a stress fracture to heal in exactly one month? The athlete MUST go back to training after a month, and preferably start some light training after two weeks. Will there be any major complications, or will it mostly be gone? (I should mention that the athlete develops the stress fracture just days before a competition, competes, and then goes to the doctor right after - possible complications in healing time there?) The purpose of the stress fracture, plot wise, is to give the character a month off for some friendship development with another character - if there’s anything that would work just as well (that doesn’t involve casts or immobility), I’m all ears. I’d prefer not to maim him permanently with chronic future pain - he needs to be in tip-top shape for the next competition. And I guess while I have your ears, I’m looking for another injury to inflict on my athlete during the off-season (so he has lots of time to recover). I don’t want anything permanent that would cause him trouble competing in the future, just something to take him out for a month or two. I was thinking a twisted ankle with tearing/ruptured ligament, but again, I don’t want any lingering complications or pain. Does that sound ok? I'd almost give him the stress fracture in the off season, and twist his ankle to give him a month off. A twisted ankle takes 1 to 4 weeks to heal completely, and if he's under the care of a "team" doctor or something, they'd probably make him rest it for a month. It also depends on the severity of the sprain, a light sprain he'll be able to walk on in a week or so (since he is an athlete they tend to make them stay off of injuries longer, for the very purpose of not destroying their career in the future), but a more severe sprain would probably be up to a month, if not a little longer. It he didn't tear anything, he'll probably have a tensor, and crutches to use.
