Long detailed article on Peterson and the what and why of his cramping issues. Very open and explanatory, and the narrative fits what we saw (and couldn't understand) during the season, because he didn't want to talk about it since he had no clue what the issue really was. It apparently began from nowhere before the season, in an episode where the cramping was so severe he was scared he might die. At the time they had no explanation, and tried various remedies. He tried to play through it, but it freaked him out (and made him cautious) since he was afraid he might die on the court (and those around him kinda did too). After the season he apparently went through a long battery of tests to find the problem, once and for all, and as he explains it, it turned out to be his use of creatine which was way too much because they discovered he had a naturally high creatine level in his body.
Read the article. It makes perfect sense of everything. NBA teams can validate the medical narrative. But assuming it's not BS, I would wager he's a lock for no lower than 2.
