I noted on another post where Curran is reporting that Dillon looks to be able to comfortably cut to his left, after suffering the high ankle sprain there last year.
He goes on to say how Dillon, even after returning from the DL last year, was never able to cut in that direction.
None of that was ever really brought up during the season, and during some of our late season and off season debates about whether Dillon had hit the wall, was washed up, etc., I would often point out that he appeared to be playing injured and wasn't able to cut left.
That seemed like "new" news to most fans, who just seemed to thihk that Corey was just simply washed up, and certainly, no members of the media I was aware of were promoting the fact during the season that he couldn't cut left.
I guess my question is whether, or to what extend, member of the Media who know those things choose NOT to report them as they don't want to provide detailed scouting reports for other teams.
At least one scout I heard mentioned it once so it wasn't a state secret, but the fact that Dillon could only cut in one direction did not appear to be common knowledge during the season and even in the offseason given the heated debates about whethere Dillon played injured or was just washed up.
