It was a different ligament tear, a much more rare injury (to the PCL) and one where 100% recovery isn't as certain as it is for an ACL tear.
Additionally, Jontay actually received a first round grade last time, but felt overwhelmed by seeing the other guys (Jevon Carter being one) and their professional work ethic. He didn't feel ready to be a professional yet, which is what he worked on over the Summer. Hence his much improved fitness prior to the injury.
The NBA GMs already know what he has as a skill level. They'll just want to know he's healthy.
